What is the most difficult step in writing a non-fiction story?
For me, the beginning of a story is the most challenging part to write. It has to include basic things about the setting, names of characters, and the problem they are facing. As well, the beginning has to be interesting enough that the reader is going to want to keep reading the entire story. Trying to get all of this down in a few opening lines or paragraphs is the biggest challenge for me. Sometimes I write two or three beginnings then choose the best of the bunch later on rather than becoming bogged down trying to write the perfect one right at the start.
