Question and answer
How will you hook readers' attention from the first sentence?
Most readers are like me. Most people don’t want to spend the first 50 pages trying to get into a book. Here are a few things I find annoying in the first lines of a story: Dialogue. [ Nice somewhere on the first or second page, but not in the first line. We won’t know who’s speaking or why we should care. Excessive description. Some description is good, but not when it’s long winded. Skip the purple prose and opt for something more powerful. Irrelevant information. The first few lines of your story are crucial, so give your reader only important information. Introducing
too many characters. I don’t like to be bombarded with the names of too many characters at once. How are we supposed to keep them straight when we don’t know who’s who? ]
