How do you hook a reader? It all comes down to one thing. Story.
Story is universal. There is not a society on earth that does not tell stories. It is no wonder, though; stories entertain in a way nothing else can.
Story is what allows you to envision the future and prepare for the unexpected.
If stories are entertaining, readers will pay attention to them. For writers, the real
breakthrough is the discovery of what triggers that delightful sense of enjoyment readers feel when a story hooks them.
Curiosity is the trigger that gives the desire to find out what happens next. It’s the story; what captivates the brain.
