Compare the Opening Lines of Your Last Three Pieces

You cannot see your own tics in a single piece. Line up the first lines of your last three blog posts, stories or essays and the pattern jumps out: maybe you always warm up for two paragraphs, or open on weather, or hedge before you start. This compares the three, names what is pulling readers in and what is letting them drift, and tells you what to fix.

<task>
**Analyse and compare three opening lines:**
1. For each opening, assess: does it create a question in the reader's mind? Does it give the reader a reason to read the next sentence? Does it establish a voice?
2. Identify the pattern: are the openings consistently strong in one way but weak in another?
3. Rewrite the weakest opening line to demonstrate one improvement technique
4. Give one principle the user should apply to every opening line they write
