I make Reels on Instagram about how to write.

I’ve read many things, and I’m an author, obviously. You won’t know who I am, but that’s your fault, not mine.

I could be writing, but I’m doing this to help you.

5 Things You MUST Do in Chapter One to Out-Compete the Market

1. Treat the reader like a chimpanzee at a tea party. They are just monkeys in tennis wear.

2. No sudden movements. Think: same arse, different knickers.

3. Raise the stakes. Give them a gambling problem. But no Italians. Preferably the Irish.

4. Ask yourself, “What would I do in this situation?” Then do anything but that.

5. When in doubt, introduce a dog. But give it PTSD and a better backstory than the MC. That’s where the money is.
