Example text

Hidden in their questions is a deeper query. Did Jesse bring it on himself? Was he careless? Perhaps he rode his bike into the middle of the road. Perhaps he insulted God. Maybe that’s why he won’t be walking me down the aisle, they imply. —Meg Gardiner—Mission Canyon The above example is deep into the novel so is longer than you would expect for an opening line or chapter opening. Once a reader has committed to reading a novel, the hooks do not have to grab them as fast or hard, so you can use several sentences to make your hook.

Notice how the above draft creates a more passive statement. It’s a statement of fact and, without any further information, the reader might assume this was being accepted as the normal state of events. Using the past tense decreases the emotional impact of the Action/Danger hook. The sense of urgency that something bad could happen at any moment has been watered down so the hook no longer applies. The danger, or threat, of the missile is past, so the hook is not as strong as it could be. Let’s examine an Action/Danger hook from deeper into a story.

Surprising Situation, Question Raised, Danger, Warning, the Totally Unexpected and two other hooks. That’s a six hook opening line. I would have been happy to find some. A different Surprising Situation hook than the first one, Raised a Question, and two more hooks. If nothing else, the small talk would have been less insulting. Surprising Situation, Question Raised. Now let’s expand the explanation for the hooks chosen above: There were no zombies at the party.
