About: First Line   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The first line of a novel is crucial. It should hook the reader. Agents and publishers don't have time to read through every manuscript they receive, so they'll look for any excuse to dump your work and move on to the next in the pile. Background information in the first paragraph starts your story "on pause". No forward momentum will frustrate a reader who wants the story to begin. If you must start with description, then try to keep it short.
