Writing your first chapter

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of DM’s asking on how to start a book, so here’s a checklist to help you guys out!

•Did you set the stage for the story? (Setting, weather, past, present, or future)

•Did you start with Danger, A flashback, A creepy or abnormal experience, or an unexpected perspective?

•Did you clearly introduce the protagonist?

•Did you determine your point of view and narrative voice?

•Did you determine a tense? (Past or present)

•Did you introduce a theme?

•Did you worry about likeability too much?

•Do you have too many stereotypes or clichès?

•Do you have a fair amount of action?

•Did you come up with a problem for your characters to solve?

•Do you have a strong idea of where you want the story to go?

•Do you have small details to make your story unique and special?

•Did you end with a hook?

i want to live life with you. not just the big moments, the parties, the concerts, the exciting parts of life, but the little things too. i want to go grocery shoping with you, decorate for the holidays together, see your beadhead in the morning. i wanna live my day to day with you by my side.

people that send death threats in fandoms because they don’t get what they want need to think before doing stupid things like that, eventually do it enough times, it will get reported to the police and you will be found and for what, a fictional character that doesn’t exist… plus most importantly think of the people your doing that to, there feelings matter and stop being a bitch and enjoy your own thing.
