how should I begin?

Beginnings are tricky, if you ask me. How are you going to begin your story? Not every beginning is the first thing that happens, sometimes it's not even the first thing you remember. You can start your story at any point, and thus comes the importance of the first thing you'll say: in a way, your point of view is there in the beginning, your choice of the importance of events tell us about the author more than it does about the story. It's a personal information that we only get at the beginning, it's the most important choice an author must make with the story he wants to tell, because it's not about the story, it's always about the way you'll tell it that will make a difference in the end.
