And so it begins again

I am not a daily meter kind of gal, but maybe I'll post this weekly. Unless I don't feel like it. Since the word meter neither helps nor hinders me, it's sometimes a random kind of thing.

I've added a megaton of stuff to chapter one and am now worried that I've buried my hook, but I'm pushing forward from this point. I'll have to worry about that/edit that at some future point.

I actually think I have two hooks, though one is rather mild: a family mystery up front, and a major hook at the end of the chapter. It's hard to say at this point (perspective!) if that will be an effective way of drawing in the reader. Only time will, etc., etc., etc.
