Number 7 is so true for me! A quick run down of my story (kind of gruesome, be aware): Aria, a young girl, finds out that she has telekinesis. Her parents were murdered around the same time, so she vows to find out their killer using her newfound gift. The first draft I made started out with her saying good night to her mom and then going to bed. She discovered her powers that night and her parents were murdered the next day. It’s very slow and clunky, but I put it off to the side for a little bit before it finally hit me how I should write it. The second draft starts off in the point of view of two officers investigating some gunshots they heard inside of a nearby movie theater. They walk in and are horrified at the scene before them: the entire theater is dead and all by the same cause. Each person has a bullet through the center of their forehead. It cuts to Aria and her friend Ruby watching TV. They hear a knock at the door. The same two police officers knew her parents and break the news to them. At their funeral, Aria cracks a mirror in the bathroom, but not by her hand, by her mind. I personally think that start is better and more interesting. It took some time for me to get it right, but I’m glad that I took the time to rethink how I should start the story.

the second version is definitely on the right path to a much better presentation; however, the whole general story concept is wayyy too generic and overdone.. You need something a bit more intricate and interesting to make it worth pursuing. If you have a good, truly unique and/or interesting idea, or even a character, to work from, then a lot of it will write itself

I know it’s a bit late but I found this question. This is what I do, make a question list. First it should be as simple as possible, for example, who? Why? When? Then harder ones like What are the characters real feelings of the situation? Are they scared? Excites? Why? Try to say your story out loud. The. Tell it to someone else? Could you do it? What do you feel that is missing? Maybe characters are not appropriate? Titles don’t match the story? Too short or too long? As you work in your story make more questions. How are they going to do that? Will they be able to? What will be the obstacles for every situation? Characters personality, relationships mood and clothing or style are too hard to plan once you already started your story. Plan them before, all important characters also should have this questions. Do they modify or change the story or are they just for the perspective of the reader? Are there characters or situations that feel not necessary? I hope this helps someone.

My first comic started with a six-paged prologue, which explained the backstory of the character. This sounds bad, and it is, but I needed it all in the prologue in order to focus the rest of the story on something else. Now of course I start comics better, there is not much exposition, like in the one a couple of guys meet in a bar and argue about a girl one of them just recently broke up with and the second guy had a crush on for years. This isn't probably the most creative idea, but it exists :v

A side-thought related to #1, or possibly an expanded version of it - Something I feel is important when I read a story is also that the first few pages (especially the first page) (or the first minute-or-so if it's a movie) need to have some sort of "hook" to grab my attention. Something to set up expectations, and create a feeling of curiosity. Something that makes me want to know what is happening, or what is going to happen. A good example of this being done in a slow-paced manner is the start of the movie Alien. The slow panning shots that show the darkened and unpopulated interior of the Nostromo serve a double-purpose of both establishing the setting and making the viewer interested in finding out what the ship's mission is, and where the crew is. (The crew question gets answered immediately afterwards, when you see the cryo-pods, but at that point the viewer's attention is already caught.) A good example of this being done in an action-packed and intense manner would be the book Snow Crash. Okay, it does begin with exposition (afaik, extreme amounts of exposition is part of the author's signature style), but the starting exposition is written with a lot of character and attitude, and is then followed by a rather intense action sequence. Together, this gets the reader both interested in the world the story takes place in, and interested in who the Protagonist is and what he does.
