FIRST CHAPTER MISTAKES NEW WRITERS MAKE ✖️ how to write the first chapter in your book
Today I'm discussing first chapter mistakes new writers make. The first chapter is one of the most important chapters in your novel, as it has to hook the reader if you want them to continue on with your story. I've made a handful of these writing mistakes in my own books, so don't get discouraged if I mention something you do in your first chapter. Writing a book is difficult, and writing a good book is even more so. My recommendation is to write your first draft and then come back to your first chapter so you have a better idea of its purpose in the story and can more effectively edit it to suit your book and characters.
