Give yourself permission to write what ever works for you in the first days, is my advice. Then put a pin in it on about the third day when you're more in touch with what's going on and who your character is turning out to be. I've seen lots of new (especially young) writers get completely stymied out of starting because they can't think of a good opening. Sometimes you need to come back and do the opening later, when you know more.
This is spot-on, golden wisdom. Do this.
