Ineed , i want to write a short story, but where do i start? i almost always try for a vivid scene to peak interest, but i am not sure if that is best, can anyone ?

Within the first 1-3 paragraphs (depending on how lon your story is going to be,) you need to give your readers a general idea of what the story is going to be about and somewhere within those 1-3 pharagraphs, I recommend giving some minor details about the character such as sandy blonde hair, their name, etc. You need to get people intrigued so they'll read the rest. Hope that helps, any questions?
