Best Answer

The best opening is to situate the story: time, place, general ambiance. This is called the exposition.

You can read the first paragraphs of several stories in a story magazine, or several books on the shelf, and from them decide whether this time, this place and the general tenor of the story is interesting to you.

Then, when you open your story, you can follow the pattern and engage readers early.

It depends entirely upon the story! Some authors start with plot, and others with characters. Some start off slowly and build up the tension, and some start out with a bang right in the middle of things.

The exposition typically happens first in a story. It introduces the setting, characters, and background information that are essential for understanding the rest of the narrative.

How do you choose a name for a final story in a series?

First, you write the story. Titles come from the story, not the other way around. Choose something from your writing that gives a description of what happens in the story, or that hints at something important, or that will just attract the reader's attention to it.


When does Plot unfold?

The plot of a story typically unfolds gradually over the course of the narrative, with events and actions unfolding in a sequence that builds tension, reveals character motivations, and leads to a resolution at the story's climax. Each plot point is strategically placed to keep the audience engaged and interested in the outcome of the story.
