Since we're jumping in at the beginning, as we prepare to tackle those first words on the page, today's topic is Starting Point. Whether you're a writer who likes to jump into the action with your first sentence or begin with a dream sequence, we all look for just the right way to begin.

Do you agree?
How do you like to begin? What do you find most difficult to do? Do you prefer 1st Person narrative, 3rd Person, or something else?
