How to Write a great Intro for Your Story.

When it comes to writing an intro, what comes to mind is writing a small introductory passage. However, this is not all that’s to it. What you need to do to engage reader interest is to bring out your story in the right way. In order to do this, you need to encapsulate the spirit of the entire story and bring it out through an example. When you do this you have to be careful because capturing the story essence alone is not enough, you need to grasp the main point of the story, else the purpose of the story is lost.

If you have decided to write the intro, make sure that it is brief. Write a headline corresponding to the intro content because readers expect that the headline should reflect what is mentioned in the content below it. Your reader is not going to be spending much time on the intro when it talks about sports when the headline says vacations.

Furthermore, you may have captured the essence of the story very well in the intro, but you have to ask yourself the question.. is the intro short enough to engage reader interest before the content return to elaborating on the subject a hand?

If you look at the intro piece given above, you will find that it’s really short. This is the kind of intro that works with the reader. Why? Here the reader is aware of the subject matter that they are reading, They are aware of the information they will be getting from the intro, in a general sense and so they know what they will get when they read the story.

Starting with a long introduction that appears to bear no relevance to the headline is the number one killer of otherwise good writing.

Another point is when you use anecdotes. You should let your reader know before-hand how your anecdote relates to your topic before you tell it to them, else the reader will leave out your topic, even before you begin to elaborate your point.

More essence in fewer words; the function of an introduction is to convey something about your broader point.

If you want to do this right, you have to think about your intro in a broader sense and include those details which bring this out and leave out those that don’t. So, if you have extra details such as dates, names, descriptions and diversions but which are not really necessary for the essence of the anecdote, do not mention them as they will only distract the reader.
