Hello :D

I usually love writing short stories, :pc:  but lately, I just don't like the beginning of anything I start, :trash:  so I wanted to ask if you have any tips for me on how to write a good beginning. :eyes:

Bye :seal:

If you can't write the beginning, then don't start with the beginning! What scene are you most excited to write? What gave you the idea to write this story? Start there. You don't have to write in chronological order. A lot of writers actually say you should start at the end and then work backwards. My brain doesn't work that way, but it isn't bad advice to try.
