Your first paragraph should grab the reader
Try starting with a question.
Begin with a bold statement.
Use an interesting quote.
Put the reader in medias res, that is, in the middle of things. ...
Challenge the reader by speaking directly to him/her.
Tell the reader what you do NOT want to do in your writing.
