How Do I start My Novel- Where to Begin!

"I'm going to write a great novel, one day!" 

I want you to start writing  your novel today- not tomorrow and not twenty years in the future. Nothing is holding you back expect yourself!  Where do you start? I know you think that I'm going to give some incredibly advice, but I'm not. Because the answer is so obviously that you shouldn't even have to ask me, "How do I start my novel?" 

But I will tell you something that you will already know. Write one line. We all obsess about the opening line of the book.  And  I hate writes who don't obsess over the opening line of a book! For example, I cringe when I see books that start with lines, "I took a bite of my pasta." 

You could of chosen any opening line in the world and that is the one you choose?  I want to be entertained and if you're already talking about your characters unappetizing dinner, then I'm bored and I'm never going to read past the last line of your book! 

You can obsess about your opening line, but here's your challenge: Come up with a gripping opening line in less than two minutes. Write the first paragraph which should be at least five sentences in three minutes. 

I'm honestly being too generous with my time here. The point of posting is to flush out a rough draft! You can agonize over creating perfect lines later!
