A Paragraph a Day: One Liners
"YOU MIGHT THINK what I do is bad, but that doesn't mean I can't be good at it."
THIS IS MORE OR LESS what a villain in the movie Raid: Redemption says about an hour and seven minutes into the movie. What an epic line!
THE LINES MOST WRITERS need to worry about are the opening line, the ending line, and the finishing line (look at me, making up terms). The opening line serves for the first sentence in the entire book and the first sentence for each chapter. I would argue the most important words in a story are the ones that open the book. The very first words better be epic and interesting if you want your readers to remain hooked and then buy your novel. You want your chapters to start just as strong and end with great sentences, ending lines, that'll keep them hooked and ready for more.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF, the last line of the novel should be fulfilling for the reader. After all, they just spent time and money invested in your story. Give them a good send away, will you.
