Argh.  I’m doing the very first thing Nathan says not to do!

Revenant my WIP starts out like this.  My main character wakes up.  There’s a very good reason for this, in my opinion.  It establishes something important about my main character.

I’ll give it some thought, but I doubt I’ll change it.  I’ll just hope it falls into the area that Nathan Bransford’s thinking about when he says:  “Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you can’t use one of these openings or that there aren’t good books that start this way.”

I will do what he says next:

“I am saying that you should think once, twice, and five thousand times about using these.”

I still doubt I’ll change it.
