1. A Weak Introduction

First impressions are everything. Often, writers will start with a long description of the setting, or a mundane event like waking up from a dream or talking to themselves in a mirror. Not only are these clichés, but we don’t learn anything about the story or the character.

Readers will keep reading when you make them care about a character and their motivations. Who are they and what do they want? That’s why the first paragraph – no, the first sentence – is important to hook your readers right away.
