Challenge
Best Hook: It should dazzle the soul's curiosity with an earnest yearning for resolution.
Write the best hook you can come up with. Use previous ones to see if it's solid or make up a new one to test your creative ability to pull in a reader. Any genre. I am a believer that a good hook can and should pull in all readers regardless of their preferences. It should dazzle the soul's curiosity with an earnest yearning for resolution.
SOMETHING IMPORTANT
There was a baby crying. She could hear it, sounding muffled to her ears, muted as though she was under water. Something tickled in the back of her mind. She knew it was something important only, she couldn't remember. It probably doesn't matter, she thought. Nothing seemed to matter anymore. Everything felt hazy, heavy yet, strangely peaceful. So peaceful. She let herself drift, floating away into blackness while somewhere outside her halcyon world, a baby still cried.
