@LILY61 Someone once said that things that make people ashamed often make great stories. It kinda makes sense, don't you think?
Writers conscious and worrying about how people would think of them...are working on a barrier.
My thinking is always the same. If you want to write something others would read, make sure it's something you would read first. If you want them excited, you gotta be excited as you read it first. Because if your story is boring to you, then something's wrong.

You work it out as you go along, first you just write anything then you put it into chapters and then you finally put it in some sort of order. I can't remember which author it was who wrote what I'm quoting but he/she also went to say 'write something' it may be terrible but at least you've started. If you think you've completed the book all you've finished is the first draft and this won't be good enough to publish. They said quite a lot of other similar stuff too but that's all I remember.

It all seemed so boring at the time, but as I look back on it, I realize it was quite incredible....

Try the non linear approach.. start from the end , switch to the middle.. and then yo the beginning and back to middle.. like Oppenheimer

It's generally best to start where the action is, then go back and expand on the underlying themes. Attention spans are short nowadays
@plungesponge true

Maybe begin with the reason you wrote it? Also might make it easier to understand the storyline for the reader.

I don't know. Its up to you. Write what you feel, and fix it up later...

I was born naked in front of a bunch of strangers. It made me cry!

How about a memoir?
@Spoiledbrat isn't that the same?

Beginning would be best
