Today's writing tip, from a reader: your first sentence is crucial. You'd be surprised how many people decide whether to read on, from the first sentence alone.

Personally, I flip to somewhere near the middle to assess the writing quality and style, but most people don't do it that way, I think?

Anyway, it might be intriguing to find out what your favorite first sentences are, of any book you've read.

It was written when OTA television was still common, so I have always envisioned it as that grey mottled static.
