The Secret Power of a Good Opening

Why is writing a good opening so difficult?
And even when a writer opens a story with everything they are supposed to: character, setting, tension, intrigue, story questions -- why is this so often not enough to hook a reader?

We'll discuss these questions and more at our November meeting. We hope you can join us!

Participants are encouraged to bring the first full page of their work in progress to share aloud, if they'd like.
