Struggling to start your story? You’re not alone. If you’ve ever stared at a blank page thinking, “How do I hook a reader before they scroll away?”—this episode is your lifeline.
In this week’s episode of the Christian Writers Podcast, I’m walking you through how to craft a powerful, page-turning opening scene—using the same bonus worksheet I give my students in the Middle School Magic writing class.
Whether you're writing clean fiction for kids, cozy mysteries, or faith-based stories for grown-ups, this episode will help you write an unforgettable first page—with heart, tension, and clarity.
We’ll break it down into 5 simple steps:
- Show your character’s “normal” before the chaos
- Hook readers with emotion, not exposition
- Skip the info dump—drop them into action
- Give us a reason to care
- Leave a question dangling so they have to turn the page
