Hey peoples!
I accidently started my novel with Chapter 2 of my book! :oops:
I've been trying to figure out how to fix it, but I can't!
The button doesn't pop up with the, "This Feature is Not Working Yet" message....so i assume it's working...right?
Also, whenever I click "Procede to Step Two," nothing happens...
Can anybody help me? Thanks a million!
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl.

got trans?

Did you put in a plot in the "plot" part? If so, that happened to me.

Yeah, I did. So I shouldn't put it in there and leave it blank until it's fixed? Or should it be the other way around?
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl.

If you leave it blank, you can continue with the next steps. I've had to leave mine blank for now.

Okay, thanks! I'll try that. Now...is there any way I can edit it so that the Prologue and Chapter 1 are before Chapter 2?
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl.

No, I think it's supposed to be like that? My prologue is after my chapter 1 too. =/

Okay... I just figured out how to make your first chapter/prologue come first!
Just make sure they have practically the same title (i.e- The Pain-Prologue and The Pain-Chapter1)
Add the prologue and first chapter to your novel, rename the novel your prologue (i.e- The Pain-Prologue rather than The Pain-Chapter.2)
And viola!
It puts everything in order!
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl.

Not yet, but I do promise it is coming. As you figured out, everything right now is just sorted by the time it was posted. That works for most works, but not every work. So, it's something I'm going to add when I do another site update (unfortunately, probably not until mid-May).
