What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
After you have finished writing the beginning of your novel, you will need to spend some time on revision to make sure that the story and details are in line with your vision for the novel. Give yourself at least a few days to read over the beginning of your novel and check for continuity, clarity, and development. Some questions you might ask yourself include:  Does everything that happens in the beginning make sense? Does it flow well? Are there any drastic tone shifts that might be confusing for readers? If so, how can I adjust the tone in these places? Is there anything in the beginning of the novel that might confuse readers? Is it possible to work on clarifying and/or developing these passages? After you have completed revisions on the content of your novel’s opening pages, you will need to take some time to edit your work as well. Read through the chapter to check for errors like spelling, punctuation, and grammar.  Reading out loud is a great way to catch minor errors. You can also try reading your first chapter backwards to make it easier for you to catch minor errors. If you find an error, one way to check for similar errors is to use MS Word’s find and replace feature. For example, if you find the typo “opwn” when the word should be “open,” then search for “opwn” and replace all instances with “open.” Once you have your first chapter nicely edited (but still not perfect-- that will come later!), find a writing friend or teacher and ask her to be your first reader.  The ideal first reader is someone who has a strong command of the language, loves to read novels, and will give you honest feedback. Ask your reader if the opening chapter draws her into the story, and what she is left asking at the end. Your reader will be able to tell you if the story makes sense and can also let you know if it is engaging. Remember that the beginning of your story is the most important part! If the reader gets bored at the beginning, she probably won’t finish it at all. You can also have more than one person read it to give you a variety of opinions. This would be a great time to engage with a writing workshop or creative writing class. After you've mastered the novel's beginning and you've received feedback from readers, don't waste any time in starting chapter 2. You want to keep writing while you have momentum in order to avoid writer's block!  Remember to stay consistent with the writing style, point of view, and characters that you've worked so hard to develop in your novel's beginnings. Also remember to tie up any loose ends from problems, dilemmas, or mysteries that you left unsolved in the novel's beginnings.

Then, flip back to your very first chapter and read it over. What has changed since you wrote it? Are there new characters or plot points you think you should bring up? What do you think of the writing quality? Jot down these points and spend some time thinking about them before you start your second draft.
Revise the beginning of your novel. Edit the beginning of the novel. Ask someone else to read your draft. Continue with the rest of the novel. Revisit your first chapter once you're done.
