Dialogue and action are critical to keeping your reader’s interest and moving your story forward. Don’t stop and smell the roses too often or for too long. #amwriting #writerslife #WritersCafe #writingcommunity :-)

Everyone’s life has elements of the mundane, and these dots connect us. Don’t avoid such moments in your writing. They draw the reader in, allowing them to become part of the story. #amwriting #writerslife #writingtip #writingcommunity #authorsoftwitter :-)
Every word must count, regardless of the length of the overall work. Readers don’t want filler in their novels. Just, very, said (a fair amount of the time) – these are your enemies. #amwriting #writerslife #writingtip #writingcommunity :-)
