Hey I'm writing a novel for my first true major writing project. I was wondering what the perfect opening chapter consists of? What should it include to get you the reader coming back for more? I want to blow everyone away! Any advice would be appreciated.
You probably wont have a first chapter until sometime towards the end of the book. Start with the second tbqhf
You should start with the Greeks.
"A screaming comes across the sky" is a good way to start

interesting characters and tension. it doesn't need to be the main plot tension but start with something at least.

Something that

>introduces the main ideas and themes, but not necessarily the main plot, characters or even setting
>establishes style/tone
