I just start 'em. Usually it picks up where the last chapter ends, but sometimes I do a bit of a time skip if nothing important happens or if I change pov characters. I try to stay away from in medias res.

I generally start my chapters with words ?‍

Productive.

Usually I start my chapter with a series of words. And usually readers will tell me if it's good or not.

Innovative.

Hmmmmm. Relatable.

I'd say "Not at all", because I'm a procrastinator, but if I had to choose, it would be killing off a character. I could deny it, but my three Webnovels all start with me killing the Protagonist in the Prologue (one is going to be edited though, so the death scene moves to the end of chapter 1).

Honestly relatable. I would rather have them commit suicide.

I write in third person and I'll start chapters by letting readers know which character we'll be focusing on. It might be the MC, an important side character, or even the antagonist.

So original!

 

[Representing_Tromba]

You start off where you last ended, from another characters POV, or the next place of importance(if there is a time skip, small or large).

These choices all seem too extreme. Building up to the climax is key. Starting off with some insane scene often lowers the enjoyment and pacing of later scenes.
