So I've been planning for a really long time to write a story. Not just a one-shot but with chapters and all. I always had this idea of a forbidden romance during the great war. So now I decided to start writing it. It's not a gonna be easy, it's gonna be a long long journey until I get it done. But I'm determined. I love war stories, they are so intriguing to me and I'm searching A LOT of info for the story. I've been doing research for 4 days now and writing down roughly what I want to to happen in each chapter. It's also very difficult when English is not your first language and you want to write the story in English. I'm so excited about it and really invested. I've got the title, I've got the characters' roles (soldier louis, combat medic harry), I've 163 words and it just took me an hour to decide the perfect words to start the next paragraph. Apart from endings (which I always struggle to write because I don't want to let go of the story and I want it to be good and worthy of the rest of the read), I think it takes up the most time to write the beggining/first chapter. Cause you want to get people hooked, give the reader the info they'll need without being annoyingly descriptive and at the same persuade them to keep reading. You don't want to be vague or confusing, but captivating and interesting. So as the perfectionist I am, I'm gonna take my time with the first chapter until I'm proud of it. But I'll keep adding to my notes random dialogues meant for chapter 6.
