Writing The First Chapter Novels & Stories

Sigh. Have you ever felt that you have to go but cannot make that first step? That is how I feel today. Cassy and Caleb’s story has ended, yet I feel sad at the thought of saying goodbye. I started this story December 2023, and since then, it has brought me so many firsts: * First book with more than 200 chapters, * First book with 200k+ words, * First book with a banner promotion, * First book with highest reads at 70.2k to date, and

How can real people vanish? I read through the dream sequence in one of the journals on my laptop. Two hours for the boarding call, and one hour in the air was good enough to find at least the exposition. Dream sequences in the first chapter of a book are pieces of trash. Every third book starts with a dream sequence! Definite turn-offs for literary agents and editors. No, I am not judging. That’s what the agents and publishing house editors say in their How-to-write-a-great-novel videos. That’s what they warn aspiring authors against – NO DREAM SEQUENCES PLEASE! Not at least in the first chapter! And that’s where my dilemma was! No matter how much my dream sequence was real, how often I got

Quin was the first to get home Saturday morning; her roommates were nowhere to be found. Before sleeping, she decided to bring out her laptop and write chapter 4 of her book. She needed to submit her first five chapters quickly, and as such, she needed a nice event to happen so she could write chapter 5, and since she did not want her book to be rejected, whatever has to happen has to be a great deal. After hours of typing, she decided to shut her laptop and shut her eyes; she needed rest.

The city was loud but she was quiet. She looked at her notebook on the table. Opened it to the page from last night. _Chapter 1: The day I almost broke. Chapter 2: The day I decided not to._ Below it, she picked up her pen. Her hand hovered. What comes after “decided not to”? She wrote: _Chapter 3: The morning nothing felt strange._ Then stopped. Because that was all she had. Words. No action. No progress. No bullets. She closed the notebook. Walked to the couch. Sat down. Did nothing.

His eyes, heavy with desire, glowed faintly red as he huskily suggested, "Let's start from the first chapter." I couldn't recall what I had written in the first chapter. I only remembered that I had intentionally made the opening extravagant and outrageous to attract readers. But that was purely for survival, and now I felt like crying. "Is this how it goes?" he asked, his voice low and close to my ear. "Am I doing it right? Do you like it?" Faced with Johnny's whispered questions, I was unable to respond, nor did I have the mental capacity to do so. I felt completely under his control, swept up in a whirlwind of passion, utterly lost.

I plan some things, but often I have no clue what will happen next on a day-to-day basis. Like this chapter. I actually wrote something completely different yesterday, but it didn't feel right. It felt rushed. So I took a day to think, and because of that, I know where to take the next few chapters. Anyway. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the feedback. For those who don't know. I actually have seven werewolf stories out, this is my first ever Billionaire story and I'm not used to these type of stories just yet.

Feared. But something deep within her stirred, ancient and electric. Change was coming. She didn't know when. Or how. But she felt it in her bones. And so did her wolf. ⸻ Hello everyone, Finally finally, we have our first chapter. Thank you for taking your time to join us as we begin the journey of this amazing book.

She asked again but this time, it was so weak like she was already surrendering to him. The pain slowly faded away and was replaced by the feeling she had just felt for the first time in her life. He made her shudder and she felt her feminine throbbed. She never expected that she would feel that for the first time with someone she didn't know. The heat and lust are blinding her and wants to curse herself at the same time. His hand went to her hip and Nina knew that he wanted to touch her so she was so shocked to hear his angry growl then he ran out. And she didn’t know whether to be grateful or angry.
