I just like clear instruction (takes that for my thick head to get it).<br /><br />Clarissa - The Agatha Christie one is interesting, but I can't say it was very helpful. Also, not great on the Kindle, the copies of letters do not show up well, better as a paperback or on iPad (because you can resize the pages)<br /><br />Jules - I think I'm the same, reading many more blogs than books - still, I just can't stop purchasing...<br /><br />Alleged - Yes, I'm starting to think the secret is in reading the books :-)Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642615452680721583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-23479634461502163142011-03-24T11:41:15.591+10:002011-03-24T11:41:15.591+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059559142070140041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-26996777568186928122011-03-24T08:59:26.952+10:002011-03-24T08:59:26.952+10:00Tee hee!

It not only tells you exactly how to nail that first chapter, but talks about creating a story worthy conflict for your protagonist. The author also has a blog where you will get loads of novel writing lessons.<br />I did a few blog posts about it in the past, you could check out:<br />http://clancytales.blogspot.com/2010/05/debriefing-and-hooks.html<br />:-)Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642615452680721583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-52088698950252266292011-03-23T19:44:33.571+10:002011-03-23T19:44:33.571+10:00Any handy tips for how to hook readers in 'Hoo...Any handy tips for how to hook readers in 'Hooked'?
