“ I'm also… ” or “ Also I'm… ”?

Question

When starting a new sentence, which way would you arrange these terms?

I'm using it mid-way through a paragraph, following on from a previous point.

On that note of placement, would you ever start a new paragraph in this manner even if it related to the last?

I'm also open to suggestions for synonymous terms.

RMIT lists some sentence connectors. 'Also' seems unusual in that it is readily repositioned after the subject (We also go walking in ...) or subject + auxiliary (We will/might also take ...). 'In addition' would need setting off with commas as a parenthetical. 'Too' would be placed in sentence-end position in the UK. (*BrE 'Too, we go walking' / We too go walking (different meaning) / We go walking[,] too (two meanings). — Edwin Ashworth, Dec 11 '14 at 9:17

The usual position is after the verb "to be". Placing it at the beginning gives it more emphasis.
