I Need An Advice How To Start A Story. The Stories I Have Started I Really Hate The Beginning. I Always

I need an advice how to start a story. The stories i have started i really hate the beginning. I always have story ideas for stories but getting very frustated how to start.

Also have inner conflict how to start. I call it a snail shell.

Example character A is in a room and slowly expores the world around or the world slowly zooms in towards character A's room.

If you want specific advice comment some information on the plot, genre, etc.

Most first drafts start too early (this is not true for everyone obviously, just a common mistake). I highly recommend picking a story structure (I use the 3 act story structure), and organizing your story that way. You don't need to plot every second, but its helpful to have a base.

Set a 5 minute timer and write as much as you can for a beginning scene. Don't worry about it being perfect or even good. Just write it. It might feel like a waste of time but it's 5 minutes and it'll help get your ideas flowing.

Find an opening chapter/scene you like and compare it to what your wrote. What did that author include/exclude that you didn't? Now you know what you like.

Then use those techniques where your plot begins. Maybe someone is attacked, bump into a love interest, MC does something embarrassing. Remember that you can always edit later and you don't have to start writing at the beginning.
