When people advise to make the opening of a book exciting with action, are they talking about literally having an action scene going on, like a car chase for instance; or are they talking about someone doing something in general rather than just a general opening narrative giving the reader some type of introduction to what's going on?
Like someone could be leaving the house and getting into their car, then driving off to wherever they need to go.
When I think of action I think of car chases, shootouts, etc.
