WHAT CONCEPTUAL HOOK?


I like my water in a glass rather
than falling from the sky... on
a daily basis.
Yes, I know you can't have one
without the other ;)

As the sun is shining I’m planning to write a really short blogpost.

What is a conceptual hook?
·         It's the idea behind the book
·         And the rhetorical question you can’t use as the opening line of a query letter ;)

 What would happen if…

What would happen if all the rain was the result of a small group of alternative humans, whose evolutionary path had been different from homo-sapiens, and now, with the aid of modern technology, they planned to take the world back to a more watery existence so they could forge a differently shaped future for us all?

What would happen if there was a natural spring in your back garden when the water company turned off the supply and offered time slots for the collection of water rations from heavily armed collection points?

DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE CONCEPTUAL HOOK?
