How is the beginning of my story? Does it intrigue you?

In one of my creative writing cles, we went over and over beginnings because it will decide if a reader continues reading. I do not agree with the whole boring aspect but it did start a little slowly. Rather than telling us that the mission was too challenging, you could have it start in the middle of an argument. She could be insisting upon going on the mission and then whoever you decide to have on the other side could be explaining why its too dangerous. Then you could introduce Seeley. Maybe she was thinking about him as she finally lost the argument and wandered away. Just invite us in and give us details rather than telling us what happened/will happen. It'll keep more people interested rather than having Mr. First Answer here fall asleep. Good luck and happy writing!!
