The Nut Graf

The Nut Graf is the sentence following the introduction paragraph. It explains why the story is important, also hooking the reader. The Graf is also used as a bridge to connect the intro to the story, giving the story more to explain in detail, and to prep for the body of the story.
The Nut Graf's length can depend on the story, usually a few sentences long. A Nut Graf has to be placed after the Intro sentence. When prepping for the body, the Nut Graf can pull in some new information.
