The first chapter of a book is even more
important than the first track on a musician’s album. The first chapter has to
reach out and grab a reader by the throat, penetrate the deepest parts of their
thoughts and make love to their mind. Then, those first few paragraphs have to
seduce them with the skill behind the strokes until the reader is totally
addicted and obsessed with finding out what happens next. They should be able
to feel and taste the ink deliberately splashed across the pages. Get
it started the right way so that first chapter is foreplay to keep them engaged
as you spontaneously and creatively keep them excited. The last page should
make them feel an explosion of emotions, leaving the reader as spent and as exhausted
as those blissful moments after the best orgasm.
THAT is what I try to give my readers, every
single time….
