Re: Contemplating the Beginning
*Dollar* 1,000 GPs were sent to Anders J. Skeleton Author Icon with this post.
When reading fiction, or watching a film or even TV, the opening scene can cement the whole venture or sink it like the Titanic. If you don't grab me within a chapter or two, or within at least 15 minutes of video, then I'm going to put that book/video/movie aside and move on.

Drama. We want to be engaged. We want to be entertained and involved and engaged in whatever story is being told to us.

Thanks for the information.
