A talk by Daniel Wallace. We'll begin with the simplest & best way to take your fiction-writing to the next level: creating characters who are already in motion when we meet them. That's the best way to start a novel. I'll teach a straightforward way to begin the story with events already out-of-balance, and then we'll create a continuous line of action for your protagonist to take. This approach makes it easy for your reader to connect to the story and get drawn in.
