My Homework

I got the book "Writing advice for Teens: Creating Stories" by Mike Kalmbach on Kindle unlimited, and I started to read, the first few pages were a sort of "about the author" and a cheer-leading section "ignore what others say you can do it!" He uses more cheer-leading to express the importance of not forgoing college, he even made some suggestions on courses that could further ones writing.

Getting Started: General advice for any beginning writer. Methods for helping you start writing like a professional.

Strategies for generating ideas: How to overcome the sometimes-daunting blank page. Learn how to create story ideas from scratch.

Story Construction: Basic story structure to help you frame ideas and develop an outline.

Typical writing problems: Showcases common writing problems and how to recognize and resolve them.

FAQs.

 Well, not very exciting to me. And everything that I expect in a book on writing. Absolutely no hook on that line. But then, I'm judgy and I haven't gotten to the meat and potatoes yet. As far as academic writing is concerned, for me this is no great surprise.

Chapter One starts and the line Mike has dropped is finally set with a hook.
