One of the things I read several times now is that writers often write a great hook- but then write a different story, or their story never lives up to their hook. If you were to take a story you wrote and could change it- or let's pretend you change the first page- how would you now write your "hook"? Some questions: Is there a hook in your latest story? What is a hook anyway? Does it work? Is it possible to make it more powerful and, if so, how? Does the hook feel contrived? Thanks. -C (who is presently wondering if she is hookless or hooking.)
