The lovely ladies over at Falling for Fiction are hosting the Hookers & Hangers Blog Hop and I'm a proud participant.
Today we're celebrating chapter HOOKS, so, as directed, I'm posting three separate first sentences from three different chapters of my Work-in-Progress, entitled The Crazy Part.
Hook #1: Everything looks the same as when she was alive.
Hook #2: When Daniel was a little boy he almost drowned in a creek.
Hook #3: Once Isaac is gone, I recommend shooting the interview with the naked-man statue directly behind me to hold the audience’s interest, but nobody else latches onto the idea.
I'll be back on Wednesday with last-sentence Hangers!
If you'd like to check out other great hooks, there's a participant list >>here<<. I can't wait to hop around and read everyone's.
The third one is my favorite! It sounds like something I would recommend, so I can relate.
ReplyDeleteCurious... Do you come up with these great hooks when you're writing your first draft? Or is it something you work on later?
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome!!
I love these hooks! So intriguing! :)
ReplyDeleteLike the naked man statute one too! All good.
ReplyDeleteI'm hooked. Loved #3. :D
ReplyDeleteI love them all tho the 3rd one made go "naked who, what?" -- but in a good way. I want to know more about this!
ReplyDeleteWoo, what is going on in hooker number three? I love that!
ReplyDeleteYour first hook is so good!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Amy! So creepy and freakin' awesome! Can't wait to see the hangers!

ReplyDeleteHaha. As I just got back from a trip in Europe, with MANY naked men statues, I can totally relate to number 3. SO good. :)
ReplyDeleteI like both #1 and #2 ... I think I like short sentences or something. LOL. Maybe my attention span is getting shorter as I get older.
ReplyDeleteI love the first one! It has me intrigued and wanting to know more straight away. And the third one made me laugh. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAlthough it is a little morbid, I really like #3.
ReplyDeleteI loved #1 and #3
ReplyDeleteI really like the third one as well, although all of them are strong! :)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, #3 is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love how the first two hookers are really sad and intense. And the last one I burst out laughing. Well done!
ReplyDelete#3 would have to be my favorite. :)
ReplyDelete#1 is way great! Nice way to hook a reader!
