"...around 14 B.C. that writers should attempt “to say at once what ought at once to be said.” In other words, grab your reader by the throat from your very first sentence."
You mean, like, a shocking opening/statement or catchy twist? Something like "she had an affair while her husband was lying on his sickbed" or "little did he know that this woman was going to make him pay back what he had done to her years ago"?
BTW, I committed to this project by devoting at least 30 minutes everyday so far. But I just can't write 300-400 words a day. Sometimes I write just 2 sentences. Yes, it sometimes takes me a whole 30 minutes to come out that 2 sentences. The progress is slow but kind of steady. I probably won't finish this story in the first 100 days. But I can keep going.
