H-H-Help. Ideas,stuck on how to begin my novel, I need help.

[Birol]

I have more general advice, rather than specific, but if you're having trouble getting started or picking an exact way to start, begin writing a scene or two before you think the story starts. You know the backstory. This will help you ease into the story. By the time you're where things really start happening, you're writing, not thinking about how to begin. Later, during rewrites and edits, you can cut the unnecessary bits you used to ease into the writing.
