Writers tips

1.Don’t go straight out and tell what the profession of a character is but let their profession be slowly revealed.  The reader will figure it out.

2.Think closely about what the story is about.  Is it about an idea? Or is about a single character? If it’s about an idea each character should be revealing that idea in their dialogue and actions.

3.Be careful of wordage in your writing like using  “had” too much.  It takes away from the intensity of the plot.  Example of a wordy sentence is: It took all afternoon.

4.When your writing about a tense situation, you need to show more emotion throughout the section.

 4.Moral decisions, good or bad, need to be consistent throughout a book to make the character believable.
