1. I'm always a little suspicious of writing tutors who talk about "hooks." Sure, it's important to grab your reader's attention as quickly as you can, but it's important to do it in a way that doesn't end up with the reader feeling cheated. #TenThingsAboutHooks
2. I'm all for an arresting opening sentence, but make sure you consider tone. An over-flashy or over-dramatic opening can sometimes end up sounding like a cheap device to attract attention, and may ultimately alienate your reader. #TenThingsAboutHooks
