✍️ The blank page itself.
😩 Not knowing the ending.
🤔 The opening not being 'good enough'.
🏃‍♀️ Losing momentum after Chapter 1.

#OpeningHooksWeek Tip: A powerful way to hook a reader is with a 'Promise of Conflict.' Your opening doesn't need a swordfight, but it should hint at the core conflict to come. A tense family dinner can be as gripping as a battle.
