Thoughts:
釣魚最重要的步驟之一是什么，讓魚上鉤厘托。
讓魚上鉤的秘訣是什么：魚餌食呻。
那寫作的魚餌靠什么流炕，a good lead澎现。
在這個可以“先嘗后買”，處處是distraction每辟，每個人的attention span只有140字的年代剑辫，魚餌的作用有多重要？
問問自己渠欺，有多少次在試讀章節(jié)以后妹蔽，放棄一整片森林。又有多少次挠将，在看到“熬過前兩章胳岂，后面很精彩”的點評以后，不愿意去嘗試一本書舔稀。
原因可能有很多種曾撤，但歸根結底修己，開頭不夠吸引人，不足以吸引讀者讀下去缀磕。
學著做魚餌洞渤，先從學會講故事開始熊咽。積累素材來講一個好故事拉背，總會有人來聽住闯。
那么，釣魚的另一個重要步驟是什么：收線拂酣。
寫作中的收線靠什么：a good ending。
收線講究的又是什么仲义，timing婶熬。
收早了，魚鉤咬的不夠緊埃撵，魚會跑赵颅；收晚了，魚掙扎的太厲害暂刘，線會斷…
ending也是同理饺谬，該收就收，講完該講的谣拣，完美謝幕募寨。
Use your bait, with the perfect control, you'll hook the fish.
