I am restarting my novel Skyburner. And I am in converse within my mind! I am leaning towards last two options... but I cannot decide if they would be a foundation for my story as starting where I did last time.
I will give you some examples of each option:
1) It would start where Viarri is heading home from buying meat in Zuaccanor. She then finds Skyburner's egg and presses on. It is the dead of night and she is weary from hunger and fatigue. She collapses in the middle of the road, unconscious.
2) She and Yathri and Skyburner will be on making their way into Villvantra. (This will be a rather uneventful beginning. But this will be a good natural way to explain the past events without having to do a lot of by-the-way-explaining, because of the conversation Yathri will have with a guard.)
3) This one I really like. You would enter the story in the dead of night, as Viarri, Yathri, Essuada and Htogarh are secretly waiting for Driiad (who was sold as a slave by their father to pay off his debts. They are helping him run away.)
4) Here it will start as Viarri and co. tread the dirt road. Then they hear the men who are pursuing them. So they hide in the ditch. Kinda tense beginning, I would use it to draw the readers in faster, though # 3 should do that just fine...
SO please vote!
Help; I need it!
