Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore …

The same way you would start any other story: with a hook.



Katniss Answered:
Graveyard scene. Need to think of something dark and gloomy. People like combine forbidden love, murder and mystery to the fire. Eat some breakfast and play some smoothing rock music. Sometimes I like to get my ideas from my nightmares or horror movie



The Teardrop Artist Answered:
With a hooking introduction that draws in the reader.

Something dark and myserious.

The darkness called out to her. Beckoning. She wanted to answer the call, leave behind the bright cheerful world she hated so. No one could stop her…..
Good luck!

Lily Iris Answered:
Depends on what your style or genre in the "gothic arts" is. Would you write like Anne Rice? Edgar Allan Poe? H.P Lovecraft? Or something all together different?
This novel doesn't have to be booming with action on each page, but it would be a good idea to find a way to draw the reader in. Perhaps try to come up with an idea that isn't overused?
Original ideas can sometimes be impossible because someone somewhere, may have thought something along the lines of this.
Another important thing, who's your intended audience?
