Mit welchem Satz würdet ihr eine Geschichte (Buch) anfangen?
Hi,
ich denke bei mir sowas in der Richtung:
,,Mit meinem Finger fuhr ich den Regentropfen an der Fensterscheibe nach und dachte mir wie mein Leben nur so hatte enden können.” (dann würde es einen Rückblick auf das Leben des Charakters geben.) Irgendwie so.
Oder irgendetwas, was mit dem Himmel zu tun hat.
Wie ist es bei euch?
LG

It depends on history. Here is, for example, the first sentence of a short story from me:
A nine-year-old boy recognized his chance to become rich when he was blinded by something that was enclosed at the top of a high rubble pile.
As for your first sentence:
Ansich an interesting picture. It doesn’t make me particularly curious. The question is why this scene is important for history. So you should be more important to her. By connecting this action with something interesting. For example, in which you make a drop of blood from the raindrop:
With my finger I drove my blood drop on the window pane and wondered how my life could only end.
Oh, the good idea!
I even started a crime next door. That’s right.
I’m glad I could help;-)

There are various, legendary book beginnings. For example, “The Cat nieste” (Johannes Tralow: Roxelane) or “Today is a day like any other day. Only it’s not” (Vera Nazarian: Qualify) Or “He shouldn’t have taken the shortcut” (David Weber: Der Schwur) – and many others.
The important thing about a start of a book is – it must draw the reader into the story so that it remains with a novel at least for the first 100 pages or so on the bar. If the author did not manage to convince the reader to read the book again during this route, then he did something wrong…
The beginning of the book proposed by you can also work excellently – if the story that follows it works for the reader.
Thank you.
Then there are also such books that you read and the first 100 pages are really doof and only from page 101 it becomes interesting. Then it is always a shame that the beginning is so bad (satisfactory). I always find the beginning very essential.
You always decide whether to read it or not.
So first of all, it’s important that you like the sentence. In addition, the first set of books cannot be compared with each other, as all books are different. My first sentence is:
It was almost perfect, it was only a bit of joy, but at the same time also pride and sincerity, which was not considered excessive.
This sentence may not directly make sense, but is still explained in context. And if you find your sentence as it is now good, then leave it like that. You can still rework and do better later.
Have fun and success!
PS: Make sure you write in the right time form. Not mean evil, only I noticed that the sentence was written in the past. If the intention is and you want to write your whole book in the past, I didn’t say anything.
I like writing in the past, I don’t know. …
Thanks for your detailed answer! 😀
It depends on history. I don’t write in person right now, so I don’t have an example.
But I think it can be used as well as any sentence. I usually changed them again at the end if I really wanted to have a great first set.
As soon as I can, I think of the following:
I don’t like it perfectly, but I’d let it stand like this, write the scene (it just came to my mind) and then, if necessary, see if I still think of something better.
For example, this would not be my case because I prefer to get ‘direct’ into the story with an active piece of action. This would make me create a certain basis and ideally tension, but at least my reader already knows how to approach what happens before I throw it into the prehistory to what just happens.
I also prefer to do flashbacks rather than in general, so I find it better if the characters from which it starts out can interact a little, which causes the grout.
Doesn’t sound bad, though it has nothing to do with history. Everyone could start like that. So, it does not motivate to read more, has something more poetic.
Not a story, but a start to a pen and paper, but I think the atmosphere and the sound of the campaign were very good. When it comes to the sky (and wind)…
Here’s the end of a campaign.
Yeah, the group got it. But that damn epic. Continuation follows sometime.
Interesting!
“When the last night ended and made the sky shine purple, I knew that nothing would be like it once.”
Yeah, I always find it cool.
I usually get in the middle of what’s happening.
Depends on the story and how it is told.
But you can’t write the best beginning of a story anymore. He was written by Douglas Adams:
That sounds like “God lives! But he turned to a more demanding project.”
You could say that.
