1) well first off i learned that you should open your story with a hook. That is what will keep the readers and or viewers attention. This is some good advise because if you have a choice between two books and one starts with a boring explanation of everything that is going to happen in the book, or a book that starts out with a fight scene and lets you figure out whats going on but gives you little hints.
in my opinion the later of the two is the better choice.
2) secondly i learned that listing the back story of a character is a bad idea. This is a smart move in my mind because the readers dont want to sit there and learn everything about the character at once they want to figure out some of it by them self. This is why it would be a good idea to give little hints to the characters past without coming right out and stating it.
3) lastly i learned that you need to use all five seances. you want the reader to believe that the world that they are reading about is real in some form of was. I personally think this is great advice but i also believe that you should show that your characters have all five seances. You should show them not just using sight but smell, hearing....ect.
The only question i have is for the writer of the article, and it would be "what would be your opinion on having multiple dynamic characters in one story?"
