    1: Start off with a strange first chapter or parragraph. Make it unusual and uniqe... 2: For the first sentence, make it very descriptive, for EX: I watch the rain glide down the crystal clear window, it washed down the sides like a snake, slowly slithering down a tree....) use metaphors and simileys to make the frist sentence exciting. 3: After every couple of chapters leave the reader hanging with suspense, this will make the reader want to read more, and more of your stories, this also makes a good mystery. 4:make your mystery something exciting and questionable, dont make the mystery turn out to be something dumb like for EX: somebody dissapears, nobody can see them ect. they are still really there but it turns out to be a magical blanket that they slept with that made thm turn invisible.) thats really bad, no offense. Just make the story dramatic and fanacizing. 5: Dont hesitate to put your mystery on hold for a little while, this will really make the readers want to have more... 6: Dont be afraid to add a bit of drama, horror, humor, fantasy ect. to your story this will add a little spice to it. 7: When you are finished writing a chapter, go back and edit it to make the story mor e readable and more professional, you should relly do this with all of your stories. 8: If any chapters in your story dont make sense, or you dont like them, no need to delete the whole chapter, just go back and add some spice. 9: For the ending, leave the readers hanging, cmoplete the story with some Drama and maybe even some horror for EX: i watched as her image faded from my sight. She was gone....) MAKE PEOPLE HANG!!!!! 10: SHARE YOUR STORIES AND HAVE FUN!!
