This is a big one!! You need to space your text into paragraphs. Do not leave it all connected. If you leave it as one giant paragraph, it's hard to read and many people will view that as a sign not to read your story

Spacing is extremely important, it looks better and it's easier to read. If your chapter looks like this

EX:

The cab arrived late. The inside was in as bad if shape as the outside which was concerning, and it didn't appear that it had been cleaned in months. The green tree air-freshener hanging from the rearview mirror was either exhausted of its scent or not strong enough to overcome the other odors emitting from the cab. The correct decision, in this case, was to get the hell out of it and to call another cab, but she was late and didn't have a choice. The paper was blank. It shouldn't have been. There should have been more writing on the paper, at least a paragraph if not more. The fact that the writing wasn't there was frustrating. It was downright distressing. Cake or pie? I can tell a lot about you by which one you pick. It may seem silly, but cake people and pie people are really different. I know which one I hope you are, but that's not for me to decide. So, what is it? Cake or pie? Sometimes it just doesn't make sense. The man walking down the street in a banana suit. The Llama standing in the middle of the road. The fairies dancing in front of the car window. The fact that all of this was actually happening and wasn't a dream

DON'T DO THAT!! Spacing is important

This is what it should look like
