What should most paragraphs start with to state the main idea?
Only two paragraphs should start with a sentence that states the main purpose of the piece, the first and the last. To determine what the main idea is, you should have previously outlined the point that you are making for the overall piece of writing; edited the outline to get rid of what you don't need; grouped the remaining information into paragraphs in a logical order. Once you have done this, you will know what the first sentence of the first and last paragraph should be: the point you are making; the reason you are writing the piece.

What is a well-organized paragraph?
Paragraphs are stylistic, so there is no one true answer. It's subjective. However, standard practice states that a paragraph contains a single thought and is generally more than one sentence. Paragraphs of dialog contain only one person's dialog and only one specific thought. When you are talking about more technical writing, like an essay or argumentative paper, a paragraph should start with a statement and the other sentences support that statement. This is a variation on the idea that a paragraph contains a single thought and is used because in most cases, it works. What a paragraph is NOT is a bag to hold a bunch of words. If you have more than one thought, break it into two paragraphs. If your thought is only one sentence, find another sentence or merge it with another, stronger thought. If you really are addressing only one thought, your paragraph can be as long as you like. Your reader may get fatigued by this, but it is a legitimate paragraph.

The topic sentence states the main idea of the paragraph. Textbook English grammar suggests that it should be the first sentence of the paragraph, but a creative writer may opt to have it appear in any sentence of the paragraph so long as the idea is stated. Within the paragraph, there are usually two to three or more supporting details, which are sentences that add to the strength of the main idea's argument in the topic sentence.
