Patrick Kanouse:
I love when writers are able to hook the reader with the first sentence, chapter one. How do you craft that opening yourself: do you agonize over it - write it last - is it a cinch?
Patrick Kanouse
I do agonize over it. I spend a lot of time playing around with the opening, tweaking it small or overhauling it completely. Of all the sentences in my books, it is the one I rewrite the most.
