I am so excited right now. I am having my short story professionally edited. This is a first time for me. A first step towards professionalism! When the story is completed I hope to shop it around to publications accepting submissions for my type of writing. I am working on making a name for me out in the publishing and reading worlds. I want some street cred before my big stuff is put out there.

I just received this assignment and have been working on it. Try this and see what happens. This a really amazing exercise!
Pick one of your original stories or scripts. Flip to the middle of that
story. If your story is three pages, that means go to the middle of page two. If your story is 90 pages, that means go to page 45. Now, pick the most dynamic paragraph, conversation or character action or interaction
from the middle of that page. It can be a few lines or a couple paragraphs.
Imagine this is the new beginning of your story! For the purposes of this discussion, this is where your story sets into motion. It does not have to be clear from the few lines that you post what your story is about. Often, stories that begin in medias res can be mysterious, intense, even confusing—but there has to be something about the beginning
the compels the reader (or viewer) to want to know more.

Anne Liu replied to the discussion 'Where to Begin...' in the group Your First Novel"Welcome to the fun!
I think the great thing about being at the beginning of your first draft is that the first draft DOES NOT HAVE TO BE GOOD. It just has to get written. Finishing even a crappy first draft is a huge accomplishment, so…"
