Your first chapter outline is extremely interesting!
Kingdom Pen has a really great article that has helped me a lot and covers just about everything on first chapters that I can think of:

Yes, Norway and Russia is a fantastic places for settings, (I haven’t done Norway yet myself). I’m no professor, but if you ever have any questions about ancient Russia, I might be able to help.

With WIPs, I usually have one that is my main focus (where I put all my resources, researching, energy, etc into) then I have a few that I work on when I need a break from my main WIP. This method might not be for everyone, but it’s worked very well so far.

Welcome to Kingdom Pen! It’s great to have another KeePer here:) I’ll have to check out Scribble Society, it’s hard to find good writing resources, but if your looking to finish a first draft, NaNoWriMo has a great method.

Welcome:)

Heyo!!!  How’s it going?

I’m Ella, btw, and a couple of things about me:

-I like tea better than coffee

-I LOVE basketball

-I adore music (shoutout to @joy-caroline )

-I use emojis and exclamation marks a LOT 😉

What are some interesting things about yourself?  Do you play sports?  Do you like coffee or tea better?  (I bel…[Read more]

@issawriter7

LOL!! 😆

That’s the hardest thing for me, because I don’t know how quickly to start it.  Some people write the inciting incident in their first chapter and some write it in the third, lol!!  (I personally agree with you on that)

Thank you SO much!!!!!

@epicaddie2

I totally will, thanks!!!

@scoutfinch180

Hmmm…  Yeah, I definitely see myself getting VERY distracted, but I think it’s something I need to work on… 😃  I definitely agree with you there!!

@godlyfantasy12

Will do!!

@gracie-j

Thanks SO much!!  I’ll definitely try it out. 😃 We’ll see how it goes… 😉

(btw, I just noticed–one more post and you’re at 700, lol 😄)

@william-starkey

Oh yeah.  So true.  I have a feeling I don’t do that well enough…

Wow, yeah , this is great stuff!!!  Thank you SO much!!  I’ll definitely have to keep this in mind!!!

Thank you SO MUCH everyone!!!  SUPER helpful!!!!

@joy-caroline

That’s GREAT advice!!!!  I especially love what you said about if the reader needs to know it or not at that moment.  Thank you SO much!!

@devastate-lasting

I know you’ve written a bunch of great chapters!!!! 😃

@epicaddie2

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!  That’s SUPER helpful!!!!  I agree, first lines tend to hook readers.  I do spend a lot of time on that, but I don’t want to overdue it.  (I have read some books where it seems like the author spent two years writing the first line, lol!! &#x…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I am!!!  Are you working on that story w/ Arabella and November?  (sry forgot the title 😬)   How far are you into it?

I have a question:  do you find it easier to work on one WIP or two or more?  like, when you get tired of one, you can switch to another one temporarily.  or do you make yourself stick with one?  i’ve been trying…[Read more]
