Question

I don't know how to start my Story! It is an open write, but I need about a paragraph to start with. Thank You!

here's the basic outline behind my story, or the story that I want:

- there is a 16 year old boy named Eric
- his parents left him, the oldest of his 2 younger siblings, Angel and Daniel, when he was 6 and they were 4 and 3, when they died. instead of being sent to their scary Aunt and Uncle, they decided to run away.
- He builds himself up from the ground, and goes to a great College full ride, and has a job that enable him to rent an appartment
- he has no friends or family that he is in contact with, and is rather lonely.
- until... Idk really know, I guess Eric will have to decide... but that should happen on its own.

Answer 1

Start your story with the premise of him being a alone but build his character up.

Explanation: Are you going for a first person autobiography of a 16 year old teen with his siblings making their way in the world? That sounds cool but honestly you kinda have the story set already to me. A bunch of siblings trying to survive by themselves. The big brother is trying to keep up with taking care of his siblings. It sounds like a great story!
