How did you decide on your favorite chapter? Did you know what your favorite was ahead of time, or did you have to really think about it or narrow it down?
Honestly? I picked the one that every time I've read it I think "There's no way I wrote this, it's too good." LOL Maybe that's pretentious, but that particular story I've tried to pick back up a few times so I've re-read it to refresh my memory and every time I click on it I'm just in awe that I wrote that - so it was the first one that came to mind when I tried to think of a favourite.
What makes your best beginning a great start to a story?
I found this question harder than the favourite question if only because I have a difficult time starting and finishing stories. I think that the story I chose just set the scene pretty well and off the bat painted a picture of what the period was like (it's historical) and why we care about the main character. At least, I hope it did that.
