Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Use the element of suprise!.!.!.

Write a seemingly calm paragraph of, i!.e!. somone walking down the street, then all of a sudden!.!.!.!. CRASH!!!!!! a car flies out of nowhere, almost crushing the person to death, but a mysterious figure in black picked her up, dropped her on the ground!.!.!. and left!.!.!.

also, make a lot of action into it, that is the best way to do it, something that will catch the reader's attention!

Of course, it will still be a decent length, i!.e!. Bourne series are filled with action, yet some are 600 odd pages!.

Good luck, hope your book/story/novella comes along nicely!Www@QuestionHome@Com

without reading the book (what u have so far ) there is really no way to know what u r up against!. but!. each chapter should have something suspenseful in it or cliff hangerish to push ur reader into the next chapter!. good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com
