Optional Discussion Topic: Beginnings

Good news! You have an idea! You have a plot, you have characters, you have maybe even an idea of an ending. 

When do you start? With the protagonist’s birth? In media res, amidst the most exciting part? At the end, and then they look back on their lives? How do you decide?
