Hook your readers: A letter to Creative story writers (PART 2)
<p>Continuing from the previous post..</p><p><br/></p><p>Starting with conflict, tension, or action grabs your reader from the very first line.</p><p><br/></p><p>When something happens straight away, the reader instantly wants to know... Why? What’s next?</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Conflict</strong> is the heartbeat of every story.</p><p><strong>Tension</strong> keeps your readers on edge.</p><p><strong>Action</strong> makes them see and feel the moment as if they’re right there inside it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now, imagine this... </p><p>Instead of a slow start about the weather or someone brushing their hair, your story opens with a scream in the dark, a secret exposed, or a door slammed shut.</p><p><br/></p><p>Boom! You’ve got them.</p><p>Curiosity takes over, and they can’t stop reading.</p><p><br/></p><p>That’s the power of a strong start... it pulls readers in before they even realise it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Once you’ve got their attention, then you can sprinkle in the background... who your characters are, where they come from, and why that first moment matters.</p><p><br/></p><p>So next time you write, here's what you should remember:</p><p> <strong>Start strong, explain later.</strong></p><p>That’s how you keep readers reading till the end.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/big">#BIG</a> DEE</p>
