Ways to Begin

Here are some helpful ideas for starting your writing project...any of these will work just fine as your opening!

(using he/she/it)
She was
He was
It was

(using the ever popular "there")
There was
There were
There is

(using they/we)
They were
We were

(using time*)
Once upon a time
Yesterday
Today
*or any specific date in the past, usually prefaced with On, such as, "On January 13, 1078"

(Using my/her/his/their)
My dog/car/spaceship/horse/computer/apartment/(any person,place, or thing, really)
Her dog/car/spaceship/horse/computer/apartment/(any person,place, or thing, really)
His dog/car/spaceship/horse/computer/apartment/(any person,place, or thing, really)
Their dog/car/spaceship/horse/computer/apartment/(any person,place, or thing, really)

(using onomatopoeia?*)
Bang!
Crash!
Clank!
*Possible, but the author agrees with conventional wisdom that writers who use this opening are hacks.

Well there ya go! A few easy ways to get started...and thanks to this little post, literary (or internet) fame is right around the corner!
