Vary scene openings:

- Orient during action

2. SENSORY ENTRY
- Lead with sense impression
- Atmosphere before plot
- Environment as character

3. DIALOGUE ENTRY
- Begin in conversation
- Hook through voice
- Context from talk

4. THOUGHT ENTRY
- Interior moment first
- Establish POV deeply
- Then expand outward

5. CONTRAST ENTRY
- Deliberately jarring from previous
- Tonal shift as statement
- Disorientation then orientation

Write the scenes first paragraph five different ways. Analyze which best serves continuity, mood, and engagement.
