When To Start New Paragraphs In A Story Novels & Stories

"He wrote the ending first and constructed everything toward it." "How can you tell." "The image in the opening paragraph appears in a different form in every subsequent chapter. It's a countdown." I looked at the page. "By the time you reach the actual ending you've already experienced it twelve times without knowing." He was quiet. "Read me the opening paragraph," he said. I did. He listened. "I wouldn't have seen that," he said. "You would on the second read. That's why you wanted to reread it." "I didn't know that's what I was looking for."

Infinity thought carefully about how to answer it. "Maybe both. But almost all writers start with what if. What if the one you love so much broke your trust? What if fate is not in your favor, so you can't stay together? All stories begin there. Then the story will naturally flow. Writers are crazy. They will create scenarios and problems from what if’s and then choices will be presented. But they are also the ones who will choose, based on the character or principle of the character they have developed." She was busy explaining, so she didn't notice the man was just staring at her.

And somewhere. Far beyond every page that had already been written... A storyteller dipped a pen into fresh ink. Smiled. And began writing. The End... Or perhaps... The First Beginning.

It was the most basic unit of narrative structure. A container. The effect was not instantaneous enlightenment. It was like giving a child a set of building blocks after they had been drowning in a sea of loose sand. The frantic noise didn't stop, but it began to organize. The swirling "what-ifs" started to cluster around potential beginnings. The chaos began to seek a middle. The terror of infinity found solace in the concept of an end. They weren't telling a good story yet. But they were telling *a* story. And for the first time since their liberation, it had a shape.

Most stories start with once upon a time, and when they do they usually have a happy ending, yes? Well maybe not all, my story doesn't have a start or an end, that's why it didn't begin with once upon a time You may be wondering what's with all this talking, I should get on with the story already But you are forgetting this is my story so I can pretty much do whatever I want, even if is to waste your time Okay fine, don't you dare leave, but sorry today is a whole different story

She finished the story at the Moonstone Grove, at the Coronation, at the Night the Stars Wept. She did not end it with, “And then everything was perfect.” Instead, she closed with: “And then, with scars and new stars and a lot of work still to do, we began. Again.” A quiet fell. Then a pup broke it. “So,” he said thoughtfully, “we are in the middle of the story, not the end.” Luna smiled. “Yes,” she said. “We are.” He nodded, satisfied. “Makes sense,” he said. “Stories are better when they keep going.”

I could see he is anxious and so is mom. Where should I start on telling them the truth. I don’t know what to say or how to say it, I know I have to start from the beginning but before that I need to do something else. It’s now or never. I took out my phone and scroll through my gallery and found a clear picture of the triplets. I look at them and smiled, my children are my life. I don’t regret having them.

How do I even start this story? Where do I even begin? Should I start right before she died? Should I start right at the good part? Oh I know, I should’ve thought of this in the first place. I’ll start the day I met her (literally where every story should start.) Be warned before I begin telling the story, if you want a happy story this isn’t it, sure there’s romance and fun, but I can tell you she dies at the end so don’t get attached. Anyways, it begins in the middle of winter, the start of second semester when she first started school.

It wasn't what I had hoped for myself, but it was a start, and I was determined to make it one way or another. Flipping through the pages, I immersed myself in the story that didn't have legs yet, and a sense of pride washed over me. It wasn't ready to be drafted yet, but it was coming together, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Once I returned to the place I’d left off, I quickly remembered why it wasn’t finished yet. There was something I needed to add. An inciting event, or an object that would help steer the story in a new direction. Leaning against the counter, I gazed out the front door and watched as one of the streetlights flickered on while dusk settled in. There wasn’t a single car
