#63: How to Concisely Start a Chapter in Six Words or Less

from Always Choose Orange · host Alex Accornero

It’s possible to start a chapter in six words or less AND have your reader want to keep reading. How do I know? I analyzed the opening sentence of every chapter in Raymond E. Feist’s Riftwar Saga (Magician: Apprentice, Magician: Master, Silverthorn, and A Darkness at Sethanon) and found some eye opening patterns. In this episode, we'll see what we can learn through studying Feist’s short and striking chapter openers.FOR EXCLUSIVE CREATIVITY TIPS, MUSINGS, AND EXERCISES, SUBSCRIBE TO THE ALWAYS CHOOSE ORANGE NEWSLETTER: https://www.alwayschooseorange.com
