Starting to write my novel...?

So I have my paper, pens, my ideas, my characters and all the rest. But I just can't put pen to paper, anything I write seems boring, or stupid. Can anyone help me with starting to write; I don't know whether to start with describing a place or an event, or an announcement (like the Lord of the Rings). What do you think starts better??
 
I'm writing a novel at the moment too. But i didn't have the same problem as you. I already had an idea in my head of what i was going to write before i started, then i just kept getting more ideas and before i knew it i'd already written 17 chapters. ^^
Just be creative and different. You don't have to start the book with the beginning of a story, you could write the most exciting part of it in the beginning then tell the story about that (if that makes sense, sorry i'm bad at decribing stuff like this).
And just keep the reader entertained and into the plot.
Have fun, i hope all goes well for you.


***EDIT***

Oh, i forgot to say.
Don't feel like you need to write it all in one go.
If you get stuck for ideas, just take a break for a few days until you get an inspiration again, then carry on.
That's what i'm doing and it's going pretty well, so far.
 
well you can't start writing unless you have a plot and your charactors put together. That is the most important thing. Also the place. And yes you'd have to describe it.

The begining of a story does not have to be about the area that the people in the book are about. MOvies are like that..... the book can start where the character is. Like if he or she is sleeping, have her wake up or have the character have a night mare.

most books start with a prologue though.
