🪄 Prompt of the Week: Creative Writing Hooks

🎯 Use this to elevate your intros, copy, or articles:
“I’m writing a piece on [topic] and I want the introduction to instantly grab attention. Give me 5 different types of creative writing hooks I can use—such as a bold statement, a surprising fact, a relatable scenario, a rhetorical question, or a short story. Each hook should draw the reader in emotionally or intellectually, making them want to keep reading. Tailor the tone to be [e.g., witty, dramatic, inspiring, casual] and ensure the hook connects smoothly to the main idea of the piece”
