Re: Re: Re: Old mail. New tricks?
Yes, I think I was muddling the hook and the inciting incident.

The point is to set up the story. It doesn't have to be super exciting, but if there isn't some level of activeness to the scene, it just won't pull the reader in.

I suppose hooks can be inciting incidents, but don't have to be.

Thanks,
Matt
