Is this a good way to start a story?

Question

“moving again” Cayce sighed as she peered out of her window watching the sunset...

Answer 1

Sure but I suggest you send in more of it coz we cant say much on a sentence.

Answer 2

Yes. It it short, and contains speech, and you already know what the story will be about. Very good.

:)

EDIT:

It is common, but you can pull it off to make it work.

it must follow up with a good story.

ALSO: if it seems to plain, perhaps an interesting prolouge to put in with the finished copy would give some attention?

Answer 3

Nope!  It's too boring.  Nobody cares if Cayce doesn't want to move again, and you don't make us care.  There are way too many books about someone moving, and you have to distinguish your book from theirs in the first sentence.  You have to say, "yes, it's like everyone else's, but it's better" and this line doesn't say that.  Go to infoplease.com/ipea/A0934311.html to see the top hundred, and you'll understand what I mean.

Answer 4

Sure, simple but it leads on that this had potential to be a very good story.  

Answer 5

No! It's too common. Use something that would capture the readers attention.

If I picked up this book and it started with this I would put it back down.

Use something different. Unique.

Don't bore your readers. I can tell what the book is going to be about already.That's not good.

I bet the book is about Cayce moving and not liking it and having to deal with her new life. She probably hates it, then by then end of the book ends up liking it right?

Answer 6

I think that's a perfect was to start a story. It's captivating, draws the audience in, and makes them want to know more. If you write anything else, post it up.
