Does anyone have any tips for writing books :)?

Hm, not quite.

When I began to take the letter seriously and I firmly felt that this craft was improved, I gave my first short story to a fellow at the time, which I had written for a competition. She gave me some very helpful tips on the start of the story, which I still use for mmeie’s first chapter.

The problem of many beginners is that they focus on the wrong thing. I had the feeling that I had to start first. The area describes and build an atmosphere, like a good movie. The problem is, however, that a book is not a film.

A book is immersive. As an author, you might need the forerunner to get in the right mood, but your reader does not. He must have the feeling of being in the middle of history. You get that through tension.

You can create tension by getting your story to pieces. In the first chapter, questions already have to be raised. In this chapter you will NOT explain. At the end of this chapter, your reader should have questions. You deliver the answers in the course of history.

Here is a short spontaneous example:

A man with thick horn goggles and narrow side ash is watching a child through a monitor. This is just packing gifts. Every time the child takes a gift, he looks exactly. But leans back. When it grabs the packet with the red loop, it bends forward, pushes its glasses right, rubs its hands and grabs its joystick.

End of the scene.

So, now analyze the scene. What are the questions for you?
