Question: Would this be a good way to start a story!?
i like writing alot of stories but i haven't written one for months!. i'm rewriting a vampire story i wrote in 8th grade that i never finished and i'm changing it completly

would it be a good idea to start off with the main vampire having a dream or should i do something else!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

That would most likely be great as long as the dream is interesting and pulls in the reader!. Maybe you can email me a rough draft or something when you're done with the dream part!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, that's actually really good!. When I saw the title of your question, I thought that you would have a lame beginning and that I would either have to lie and say it was good, or I would have to burst your bubble and tell you how crappy it was!.

But really, I think beginning the story by using a dream sequence is entertaining and creative!. It will keep the reader on his or her toes!. Good job and good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I think that's a great beginning!. Just remember not to make it too confusing!. Make sure at the end of the dream for the girl/boy to wake up!. just say this in the story, "(name) woke up with the black shaddered sky outside her bedroom window!.

hope that helps! :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

you should stick with the dream idea but if the reader doesn't pay attention to the story or you forget to they might think that it is in reality in the bookWww@QuestionHome@Com

The dream thing is a great idea!. Another idea is to start with a really philosophical quote!. Good luck and if you can you should share it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It would be great! And interesting as well because it will start from the mind of the vampire and his perspective, if ever you decide to proceed with the story that way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its good - but it all depends on how you proceed!. A great books to read as a beginning novelist is Stephen King's On Writing!. Lot of great advice and stories!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That sounds pretty cool!. I think it would be a good way to start, to build suspense and stuff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
