I've been struggling with an opening for my story (Redux) for a long time. Chapter 1 is already up and it's not the most exciting of openings. But I feel like I need to start the main story here.
So I've been thinking and thinking and thinking. What would people think of a second minor character story that appeared at the start of each chapter. Just a few paragraphs following one character in the same world alongside what else is going on. Eventually they'll meet up but I'm just wondering what you guys would think of this if you read it in a story you'd picked up off a shelf?
Also would this work in first person considering the rest of the story is in third?

so people don't get confused... my author name is the same as my actual name!
