Through her experience as a writing teacher, she knows
how difficult that can be; this book is about the habit of writing as a way
to keep track of what’s going on in the front and the back of your mind. It
inspires different ways for us to look at the moment we’re in right now and
will help would-be memoirists find their own “side door” into a subject.
Thomas writes eloquently about how to get started and find that jumping-off
point for your work, and provides exercises that liberate our creativity,
enable us to get the distance and perspective we need, and open our eyes to
possibilities that may not at first seem obvious.
Whether your words are for publication, for your loved ones, or for you
alone, Thomas makes the process fulfilling, thoughtful, and even fun.

Hooked: Write Fiction That Grabs Readers at
Page One & Never Lets Them Go
*The first pages are the #1 key to acceptance or
rejection of manuscripts--most agents and editors claim to make their
decision on a manuscript after the very first page, which means that
no writer can afford to have a weak story beginning
*The first and only fiction-writing book that
focuses exclusively on beginnings--no other book on the market
addresses story beginnings in a comprehensive manner
Agents and editors agree: Improper story beginnings
are the single biggest barrier to publication. Why? If a novel or
short story has a bad beginning, then no one will keep reading. It's
just that simple. Hooked provides readers with a detailed
understanding of what a beginning must include (setup, backstory, the
inciting incident, etc.); instruction on how to successfully develop
the story problem; tips on how to correct common beginning mistakes;
exclusive insider advice from agents, acquiring book editors, and
literary journal editors; and much more.
