Writer’s Wisdom -Rule #49- Be Interesting with Every Sentence. “You write to provoke curiosity, to introduce something new. Think of the first sentence as a Russian doll. You open it, there’s another doll inside, hand-painted like the first, but different -- different face, more colorful costume. Each sentence opens to another. And so it continues, doll after doll, after doll, deeper into the story. Make the reader wonder where it will end, what the final doll will look like.
