I have been reading a lot of slush. A surprising number of stories begin with the same thing, namely, the protagonist wakes up. I've said it before and I'll probably say it again: do not start your story with the protag waking up. This is because so many submitted stories begin this way. You may be thinking, 'But I haven't read that many published stories that begin that way.' This is because Editors rarely select them, or, if they do, they modify this in rewrites.
I better get back to the slush pile.
Thanks for submitting your story!
