How To Write Your First Chapter With Success (In Detail)

There are several components to keep in mind when it comes to writing your first chapter. It is challenging and involves numerous drafts, editing and re-writing.

When you begin a chapter, don't info-dump in the beginning; would you prefer to start your story in the boring old way where your character wakes up in the morning with a yawn and smile on their face?

(Instead)

Start the story with a hook, it is intriguing and makes the reader want to read more. Hooks give your story uniqueness and make it interesting.

Start your story in the middle of the night, in an eerie/ vivid setting

Start your story with a philosophical question that would hook the readers from the beginning. Have them think and wonder the question 'why?'

Start it with a punch line

Start the story with some action and good dialogue

2. Don't leave the introduction of your character for chapter 10

(Instead)

Introduce your character early into the chapters but make their introduction stand out. Add essence to it.

Identify how you'd like to voice your characters

keep your main character special yet human (flawed)

Give them specific quirks and personality

3. Don't set a forced setting because of trends. Don't rely on dialogues for setting the tone.

(Instead)

Your setting should reflect your story. Set the tone you want. Is your chapter conveying a depressed scene, an action scene, a romantic scene etc?

If you all have any questions or would like to ask then feel free to send your queries! I

I wish you the best on your journey to writing.

How to avoid character inconsistency in your writing

Set your character boundaries:

What's the background?

What's your character's backstory?

What are their traits, and how do they portray them?

Know what keeps your characters motivated. (Are they reaching their goal?)

You can avoid quick shifting of scenes. Let your readers absorb the setting of the scene.

Ensure that their actions and decisions align with their development and growth.

Tip 1: Start your chapter with a scene or dialogue that comes back at the end, which helps maintain consistency.

Tip 2: Throughout the chapter avoid the fast pacing of the story, rather let the characters express themselves so that it's clear for the readers.

Consider how your characters react to situations that are hard to convey. (Do they feel nervous? Scared? Fearless?)

Dialogue writing is crucial in explaining your character's personality while writing a story.

This process requires lots of re-reading and writing, fixing character holes and rewriting character arcs.

Heartbroken Dialogue Prompts That Will Make Your Readers Cry Hard

What's a character without a little heartbreak?

do note that these are my original dialogues, credit @asmoshywrites

"All it took was one situationship to lose faith in love."

"I can't stay strong knowing that all this was a sick game."

"Don't you get it?" "I want to hold hands while staring at the stars, laugh at your lame jokes, share a milkshake, but you left me, jerk."

"All along I was a pawn for you to play with."

"It was silly of me to hold out your favourite flowers in the rain while I watched you kiss someone else."

"You lost the spark in your eyes, princess."

"I wasn't a hole in your pocket that needed stitching. I didn't need fixing. Hell! I wasn't even your problem in the first place."

"It was her all along, right?"

"There was a time when you were my favourite chapter, but now all I can think about is burning the book to its core."

"Look at yourself! Time was supposed to heal you, not turn you into a monster."

"You were once my most wonderful dream, but now you turned into my greatest nightmare."

"I rather kill myself than stay with you. You cause someone with life dread to die."

My personal favourite is 1, 3, 5, 7. What about you?

When Your Character Finds Ways To Show Affection- Romance Prompts

When the character goes on a walk he brings back flowers from roadside trees and gardens because it reminds him of her.

Character A knows about all the allergies of Character B and decides to cook their favourite meal.

Every time the Characters are getting dressed, one of them is always mesmerised by the other and stares at the mirror, frozen. Making the other characters blush and hide their face.

Character A knows his partner is a bookworm, so he gifts his partner autographed books.

Calling them before every meeting just to hear their voice because it calms them down.

HOW TO DECIDE A TITLE FOR YOUR STORY

Picking titles for your story can be crucial. Creating the perfect title that tells its own story and is unique, importantly, it should reach the right audience.

"If they can judge a book by its cover, they will judge the title."

Know the summary of your story, and build a title based on it. (Your title should relatively give an idea about the story)

Deciding the title after significant elements in your book.

Naming the title after the plot twist (no one sees it coming)

Give the title of your story based on the main character.

Avoid cliches and long titles. (They aren't as impactful as you think)

Titles often vary by genre. For instance, mystery titles might aim to be more enigmatic, while romance titles may focus on emotions or relationships.

Remember, your title should make the reader think, excite them, and create a memorable title.

Author Tip: Picking the 'perfect' title can be difficult. Take help by browsing through movie names and mix-matching the words.

emotional/ hurt dialogue prompt

These dialogues are more appropriate to show the act of 'care' towards your character or open up the softer sides of your more 'rigid' characters.

"I'm not leaving you, MC."

"Show me where it hurts."

"Sometimes it's okay to cry, I promise."

"You are safe here...with me."

"I am going to take care of you, and you will let me."

"You look rather paler than usual, MC."

"I'm here- I'm here, just stay alive! Please!"

"It's fine, you can cry. I won't snitch."

Quirks to Give to Your Obsessed Villians

(ft. Not so Villany behaviour)

These quirks are excellent for villains with soft personalities or characters with a breaking point.

These scenes can make an intense setting easygoing and give dimension to it.

They bring the victim flowers to seem like a gentleman after abducting them.

Villian accidentally spills the victims' schedule while revealing to them how they kidnapped them.

Villian is a softie for the victim and uncuffs them.

(Extra points if the villain rubs their wrist softly while feeling guilty.)

They awkwardly try to calm the hyperventilating victim by giving side hugs.

Being so obsessed with the victim that they know everything about them

The villain forgives the victim when they run away after the villain forgets to lock the door.

(Extra points if the villain effortlessly catches them while the victim is frustrated)
