Example: Lisa Cron explains how to use the brain, neuro-
science, to hook readers. Dopamine emits pleasure to the brain,
and this is triggered by curiosity in your story.
What does this mean for writers? It confirms that a great story
is more than just beautiful language. Readers love beautiful
prose, but they want to know how everything affects the
protagonist. How does he/she feel as opposed to what they are
doing on the surface? Why is she angry? Not--She threw a cup
across the room. Use internal conflict. What happens next?
