I enjoyed reading your training Diane and I am glad to say I also use the hooking tips you mention. Enticing your reader to want to know more, is a cool way to grab their attention. I believe the intro is a must in hooking readers, otherwise they would move on some other catchy intro.
Thanks for your insight in this area it will help many who jump in for a read👍
