Where to begin a piece of creative writing?

Begin with the inciting incident. The Inciting Incident is the event or decision that begins a story’s problem.

Here is an excellent quote from Evan Marshall about creating a strong beginning for a story:

Some writers don’t write, or rewrite, the beginning of their stories until they get to the end. Once they’ve written to the end, they know more clearly what it is they want to say.

The main thing though with creating on the page, is to put words down. To get going. To make a start. It doesn’t matter where. After all, writing is rewriting.

I hope you find this advice useful. Let me know.
