when youre writing in third person, what should you describe first in a scene?
theres so many things that need describing in this opening scene im trying to write that i dont know which way it would flow best
is starting with what the character is going through first then zooming out to where they are good?

Start with whatever's most important to the scene.

Describe the entire scene as much as you can on a separate page and then use literary tools to plot the flow of verse after that on a separate page which is the main story. Basically just have a separate document where you exhaust all the ideas you have about a scene in a disorganized fashion then bring it all back together into the order you wish.
