In the first page of any book there should be a hook, some means of bringing the reader into the story and keeping them there. My hook was in the first paragraph, but it was not the first sentence. The class and Vicki encouraged me to rearrange and put the hook up front. Their suggestion works much better than mine. This is why I love writers' groups if the groups are honest and are strong readers. Readers know what they like and what pulls them into a story. That is why writers must read, read, read.
I worked on the first ten pages as well as the hook last night. They flow now and I am excited about getting back to writing tonight.
