How to write a strong opening line

Lose them in line one and the rest never happens.

How it works

Open in 5 words or fewer

The checker tells you while you type.

When you have too much to say

Pick one. A single idea taken all the way beats ten touched lightly.

When excuses keep creeping in

Cut every “well, but”. The sentence stands up straight without them.
