I prefer to have something happen as soon as practicable. It may only provide background for character, but I'm not a good enough writer to impress with my burbling prose alone...

Something should happen right away, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the main plot. It can be a subplot or the McGuffin or what have you. However, something interesting should happen asap. _________________ Douglas E. Gogerty
