Crafting a First SentenceI am the ficklest of readers. It's possible to bore me on the first line of your book. I'm not the only one. There are scores of people who don't even like reading. Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to make them care. Make them want to read. Make them fall in love with your characters. When your protagonist dies at the end, they better cry their little reader eyes out.Crafting a First Sentence
But how do you get the fickle modern reader to do that?
It all starts with your first sentence.

Sola, fane y descangayada
la vi esta madrugada salir de un cabaret.
Flaca, dos cuartas de cogote,
y una percha en el escote, bajo la nuez.
Lonely, ugly and all broken
I saw her this dawn coming out of a nightclub.
Skinny, a full yard long of neck
And a hanger by neckline under the chin.
