Writers Link Up Your Hooks and Start Commenting!
From today until Sunday you can post a link to your blog through the Hooked on Hooks linky that is available at the end of this post. To do so, just add type the name of your blog and the URL for the specific post in the box below!
The only requirement is to stop by at least three other campaigners blogs to give them comments about their hooks. The WIP may be any piece of writing (short story, essay, fiction, children's book, MG, YA, chic lit, fantasy, article, poetry, blog post, etc) that you are currently working on. The first few sentences (your hook) may be for the beginning of your WIP, the beginning of a prologue or chapter or sequel. If you write poetry, it may be the first few stanzas. You may share one or two hooks on your blog, because you're more likely to get feedback on one or two rather than several.
This event is made possible through Rach Writes Third Writers' Platform-Building Campaign!!
And if you don't mind, please take a moment to read my hook and comment on it!
Thank you!
This is the opening for a short story I am currently working on:
My Hook:
My previous brain expired at the age of eight. On the eve of its death I fell asleep wiggling my last baby tooth and dreaming of a newly minted silver dollar. My teacher had already slipped the bomb earlier in the year: Santa Claus did not exist. Two plus two and my little boy brain extracted the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny out of the equation, leaving only my parents to pick up the slack.
