Kaylin asked Joseph Delaney:

Hi, I'm currently writing a book and I wanted to know when does the actual action in the book happens? Like the real start of the book... This question might sound a bit confusing, but if you understand it and reply, that'll be great. Thanks!

Joseph Delaney I think it can be useful to begin with an action sequence that the reader will enjoy (maybe an extract from something that will happen later in the narrative). If you take too long building the characters and situation before anything significant happens some readers can lose interest.
