Dandelion Break The First Five Pages

[Eva Ulian]

Do you ever wonder what your first chapter should contain... nay... the first five pages even?

Well, this is what a friend of a friend suggested:

PIERS

P-Prime the Story,
I-Intro the MC,
E-Entice the Reader,
R-Reveal some stakes,
S-Set the stage

What do you think?

Cool anagram!

I like that. It is succinct and I have copied it to my notebook. Thanks to you and your friend's friend for sharing.

Gypsy Rose Lee, as an ecydisiast knew what to take out and what to leave in. She does it in 2 pages.
