[quote]and in this thing the protagonist is getting hunted by an assassin.[/quote] Why? I don’t know what your outline looks like, but you would probably benefit from hammering out each character’s motivations. The problems you’re having writing the intro make it sound like your story is more plot-driven than character-driven. Take the time to figure out what each character wants, [i]why[/i] they’re doing the things that they’re doing, and it’ll help your writing flow more naturally. Why’s the protagonists being hunted? Who wants them dead, and what do they get out of it? Who is the assassin? Is he an actual character, or just fodder? And if he’s a real character, why’s he going after the protagonist? Why’d the other people intervene? Don’t focus on how you’re gonna force the three together, focus on why they would [i]want[/i] to team up.

    Oh, don’t worry, I’ve got all that stuff figured out. Not the first thing I’ve written, so I made sure to figure all that out, first. I always write a big outline doc before actually writing anything with the book itself, and I always make sure to ask those sorts of questions before anything.
