@Aries_Arises Yeah, do what HotDogMary2 said, but also (as someone who struggled to try to make my first book, NOT A PROFESSIONAL) try to write it as attention-worthy as you can. Make it stand out, leave a cliffhanger (if you want) so the readers want to read more and more. Write it as if it's the MOST important thing (the other chapters too)...
Well, i don't know if this is wan you're looking for but..
I mean, this is what I do, so I don't know if it'll work, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure it will.
I also have a few tips that I learned while writing...
Try to have around the same balance theme for the story.
Make sure, while you're writing the story..everything is not going to fast or too slow..for an example, in one chapter, there can be strangers sitting down on a bench without any explanation on it, then the next chapter they're a couple..that's an example of too fast, unless you explain it all out.
Try to make sure when writing that there are the punctional marks (i forgot what's it called) grammar, spelling, and etc.
Have a description that can grab people's attention. Like you can add phrases, deep quotes, anything you want.
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FIRST CHAPTER!!
btw..if you're writing a book on here..I could make a book cover for you if you want, if not, it's okay, but if you're interested...please press on the link. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR DAY/NIGHT!!
