Novel Nights Virtual Cafe

Writers, pop into our Virtual cafe to meet other writers, share top tips, chat about writing, and be inspired. Let's gather to talk about the writing year ahead. 

At today's cafe we are discussing first sentences.

What is the trick to getting your first sentence, first para and first page right? Should you write your first sentence last?
