Reel the reader in

23/11/2020

 
We, the readers, have total control over your story. We control when we start to read and when we stop. You cannot force us to do anything. This is our choice.

We want to read stories filled with a sense of continuity and life. We are looking to step into the characters’ skins and to be immersed in new worlds.
​
Problems grab our attention. The more difficult the problem, the greater the hold the story has over us. The job is to show us how it is done. Hook us, play with us, and don’t reel us in till the end.
