@jasondoroughauthor: Readers decide fast, so the first page has to hook, immerse, and make them care. Spark a question or a character they cannot look away from, use sensory detail instead of an info dump, and show the world through action and dialogue. If it drags when you read it aloud, it will drag for them too. A first page is an invitation. Get it right and they keep going. #WritingTips #BookTok #WritersOfTikTok #WritingCraft #NovelWriting

You could care!, if your writing to become famous. If like me you only write to tell a story then put what you want.
