Hi!
I'm currently working on a post-apocalyptic novel, and I'm in the beginning of the story. I have an idea laid out for the rest of the novel, but it doesn't matter how I write the first scenes, they just read as crap. There's so much I need to keep in mind at the same time -- captivating the reader, showing and telling, writing description, filtering etc.
I'd like to write one chapter where I introduce the world that these characters live in, the struggles they have to encounter. But I don't know what scenes to write that captivates the reader and introduces the world.
Does anyone have any ideas you could share with me?
Thanks.
