Hey y'all I have an ideal for a story but have no clue how to start...

        ꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷

'The main character slowly realizing they are the villain of the story'
I have the last line of the story "Am I the villain? "

Any help would be amazing.

If you don't know how to start, then don't start at the beginning.

#

Just picture a scene with your MC doing what he does naturally and see where it leads.

#

You may have a few scenes that you know will happen, so write each one of those (and keep notes on 3x5 cards).

#

Then shuffle the cards around to make the story flow.

#

At that point you'll probably have figured out how it all starts!

oooo thats a good idea, i still dont know my mc yet tho

#

Maybe you need to follow your MC around a bit to see what he does...

#

Get to know who he is and what he likes and dislikes.
