That crucial, yet problematic Introductory First Chapter

Revision, edit, call it what you will!  I sailed through the story I created in National Novel Writing Month in November 2013, but I did not realize then, that my first chapter had not yet been created!

Each day, I successfully wrote the required number of words, not aware then, the very important beginning was still to come!

However, I am not sitting down at a PC pouring over a table, and writing profusely.  The opening lines and storyline are being created on the treadmill at my local Gym!

And surprisingly it is now coming altogether, as I am lucky in that I know completely how this future Mystery Novella is going to evolve, with its many twists and turns.

So all going well, I hope to be able to publish by the end of the year.
