Hooks

When writing a story you should always start with a hook. A hook is when you start with something that grabs the reader and makes her want to keep reading. For example, if you start with." My story is going to be about some mounains." this does not keep the reader intrested, because she already knows what the story is about! But if you were to start with " The night was coming and so was the cold of the mountains." this creates suspention and keeps people intreiged.
