Another discussion question at my other LJ

[sholio]

I have totally been Ms. Negativity today, and I apologize for that. I have a glass of red wine and I just spent a couple of hours scripting comics, and I feel much better now. Also, I yelled at the cat, which always helps. The cat didn't seem to think so, though. (Although frankly, he did deserve it. Little idiot won't stay out of my wastebasket.) I've been very on-again/off-again with the creative-ness lately, and that tends to express itself as general bitchiness in other areas of my life. I'm a temperamental artist despite my best efforts ... dammit! *sigh*

Anyway, I've posted another question on the creative process over at my other LJ. This week, my question is: What makes a good beginning for a story?

Incidentally, it was basically iamrighthere and tipper_green doing this in their own journals that got me started, and it's really quite fun! I'm also having fun coming up with different questions on a weekly basis. I'm very interested in just about everything having to do with the creative side of things -- both other people's process of creating, *and* what people take away from stories when they read and view them. So I've been really enjoying these discussions.
