Science fiction really isn't my forte.
That being said, I'm excited to start Scion next week! (Sweet, beautiful fantasy. You will always mean more to me than rockets and black holes.) I'm going against Kristen Lamb's advice and starting with an action scene. I'm fairly confident it will work--my alpha readers will let me know if it doesn't, right? ;)

I'm no expert - hello, still trying to finish up the WiP and working on trying to get an agent - but I find that when done right, opening with an action scene really pulls me in to whatever I'm reading.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck as you take on Scion and may the New Year be grand and wonderful.
