First Impression Matters

by Chibuzo
(Abuja, Nigeria)

Whatever you are writing, wait for inspiration about the choice of words and language construction for the first paragraph.

The first paragraph is like the door with a tag on it. What it says determines who comes in. Sometimes, getting the right preamble, introduction, overview and the what-nots, can be tiring, but if you could exercise the patience to wait for those words that come by inspiration, it makes the rest of the writing much easier. It lays a path for you to just stroll along from idea to idea.

Always give that first paragraph your best shot, no matter how long it takes - it sure is worth it!

The writer's solitutude
by: Simon Chima Nwachukwu. New zealand.

As a writer, one has to be always prepared to jot down notes as the inspiration hits. It doesnt matter where one is. The voices that speak at very solitary moments usually brings the best ideas to bear. At such moment even when tired in bed , get up and write the ideas down.

I always have my cell phone ready to speak and record my voice at such moments when i can't write; then develope them later. never loose out on those key moments.

The first part of any writing needs to set a standard of excellence which exhibits the quality of the literature the reader is about to engage in.

The incredible first sentence
by: Griffin

The first sentence is VITAL (the ending, of course, being the zenith of the piece). As a writer, you need to hook the reader early and drag them through your ideas. When you have writing that mesmerizes the reader to a point, they are craving more simply because of the first sentence...you are destined for greatness.
