“Unlocking the Secrets: How the Hidden Elements of Plot Can Transform Your Storytelling!”
The Hook
How much time do you give a story to capture your undivided attention? A chapter? A page? A paragraph? How long will it take you to grab your readers’ attention? The hook is what gets people interested in a story. It’s placed near the beginning of a story to entice readers to keep turning pages. Hooks often present mysteries or interesting questions — the readers’ natural curiosity makes them want to see mysteries resolved and questions answered. In addition to the beginning of a story, hooks can be placed elsewhere to keep readers engaged. Good spots for hooks include the beginning of each of the three acts or when a major plot thread gets resolved.
