Barbara Wallace, award winning author of romance and mystery, will join Debby today to discuss the ten biggest mistakes writers make. They will show you how to identify them, how to avoid them, and how to fix them when you do make them. This week they're discussing what makes a good beginning that will grab your reader and hook them into your story. A good opening scene will introduce us to the main character and their big problem. It will set the tone of the book and hint at the story's theme. Most of all, a good beginning will make the reader want to keep reading!
- A good beginning should grab the reader
- Set the tone
- Introduce the main character
- Identifies the main conflict
- Never break the promise with the reader
- Story action vs action action

May you be inspired, feel empowered, and B. Well.
