no, no, no: I’ll have more to say on this in a post over the next few days; it is too facile to go unchallenged — but it is a good discussion topic 🙂

sorry if I came over somewhat strong but it is a topic I feel deeply about. What I have said may quell discussion so I am happy if it is removed.

You hear that advice a lot. Usually, they give you a little more than a sentence, though, to hook the reader:) I’m with the cat. Tuna would hook me. Love tuna salad!

That is hilarious! Someone shared on social media the other day a mom that said: The TWO most important things to know about life. #1: Never give away all of your secrets.” There was nothing else on the page.

I love this! I’m currently in my final edit (I said that last time) of a short story I’ve been working on. Its the very first paragraph that sets the tone of the rest of the story that I keep coming back to and tweaking. One chance to make a good first impression. I gotta drive that hook in deep.
