Great article.
I too agree that the introduction is veryyy important in any writing you do. It sets the tone and style of writing the reader is about to experience. And having misleading information in the introduction can have catastrophic results.
Subsequently the conclusion can decide whether the work is just meh, or OMFG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. Nailing that conclusion is the difference between a masterpiece and a ahhh, it was alrgiht.
Anyways, I'm quite new to this site, so I would appreciate anyone checking out my blog. It's about Fantasy writing, if you're interested in that sort of stuff. :)
Cheers!
