I stumbled upon a technique that I don't think is talked about.  Why hasn't anybody suggested writing  a few paragraphs from different points in time or character perspectives.  Just play with the beginning of the story, until you find one that just clicks.

What are your thoughts?  Have you done anything like this before when writing?

When I write, I tend to jump around with time. I may write something that later on I feel would work for the middle, not the beginning.
