Relevant infodumpng

the-right-writing:

In the beginning of your story, you often have a lot of information to deliver so the readers can understand the stuff that comes after. This information needs to be given at a relevant time. It’s confusing and jarring to read “I dribbled my basketball. By the way, my mom died when I was five and my dad keeps all her stuff in the same condition she left it.”

Give your POV character or the narrative a reason to tell the readers what they need to know. Some good ways to do this are to have the main character look at an object relevant to the information or perform a task that needs to be explained using the information.

The first paragraph in particular is not there to cram as much disjointed backstory and worldbuilding into as possible.
