????? 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.

Such as, John Steineck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”, there were so many symbols in that! And also, Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” (which I absoutely adore, I think it is an amazing novel).
Do these writers, or any writers for that fact, intentionally put symbols in their writing?
It must take a lot of time to do that.
