The Hook: Crafting unforgettable scenes – one perfect opening line at a time.

We gather as friends—old and new—to create a welcoming space where creativity thrives. Every voice matters. We write with encouragement, acceptance, and a pace that ensures no one is left behind.
✍️ Workshop Focus
Led by local writer Windy Lynn Warren, this multi-session series explores the Hook, the opening line that grabs a reader and compels them to keep reading.
Last time, we tuned into the five senses through props, prompts, and quick-fire challenges. This time, we’ll push further: crafting unforgettable hooks that make readers ask, “What happens next?”
🎯 The Next Challenge
Topic: Types of Hooks. Pick one type and combine it with a sense to create your opening line. Bring it to share!

• 💥 Bold Statement → “Everyone in town knew the storm was coming—except him.”
