Hey everyone!
So I'm almost done my first novel and I let one of my friends read it and they said that the beginning wasn't 'dramatic' enough, like there wasn't some big thing that happened. So my question to you is, at the beginning of the book does something big need to happen? For example, someone dying or someone moving away.
Mine starts off with a prologue of my characters at a young age, and then the first chapter is 5 years later and it shows how things have changed. The next chapter is about a party.
I find the beginning of the book interesting and it makes me want to read more, is that all I need? An intriguing beginning?
