- Start with a scene of motion and conflict, or as close to one as possible. This doesn’t have to mean a fight–it means tension or trouble in some way. Characters having an argument. Something going wrong, or a character struggling to do something difficult.
- Stay away from starting with too much description or worldbuilding. Make us care about the characters before getting too deep into history, mythology, or things like that. This isn’t a hard fast law, but it’s a good rule of thumb.
