????? m?? asked: I like to write short stories and novels, and the only problem I ever have is how to start it off. How are you supposed to start off a novel properly, so it grabs the reader in and it isn’t boring?
Thanks!
To cathrl69: This isn’t like asking about how sprinters run fast. I’m asking how you’re supposed to start off a novel, without it seeming stupid or boring, okay? I’m wondering how to begin a story so it’s interesting. So f*ck off.

sentharia asked:
Is there a website you use with writing prompts? If so, what are the websites you use? Do you flip randomly through the dictionary and try to come up with a story or poem based on the word you choose? (Flange, WTF is a flange? Oh shit, schwa! But that has such a limited use!!!) Do you sit there and poke yourself in the forehead with your finger until something either pops into place or you get a bruise? What do YOU do?
