How should I go about starting a book with several different POVs

anyone got like a starting sentence?

@Oakiin

Do you intend to switch through the pov's fluidly? by chapter? By scene? What's the plan? :)
For me, I just…start. I RARELY write a book with only one pov, so whatever you want you first sentence to be should be more about your plot, than the different povs.
If you have any more detail, I'll be happy to help further ^^

@blxckbxrbie

it will change every few pages and thank u ^^

@Oakiin

No prob! If you need anything else, lemme know <3 I'm happy to help, I've written many pov switchers xD

I recommend starting with some kind of driving event to start your story; e.g. one of my stories that has multiple character povs starts with a fire that destroys the home of one of the mcs. The fire causes her to become involved in a war that had been going on for more than a century, teaming up with one of the other mcs.

oh thank you that sounds like a great hook actually!
