This has been a fun week, sharing “one sentence writing tips” from a wide range of FB friends – from literary agent Michael Snell, to newbies, to Amazon bestseller Kathy Dunnehoff, everybody had interesting, sometimes hilarious suggestions. Here’s the final five:
Michael Snell - “Good writers need editors more than bad writers; the best writers need the best editors.”
Linda Swink - “Never trust speel check.”
Peggy Zabicki - “Before you even pick up a pen, sit down and day dream.”
Kathy Rowe - "If you don't know anything about it: RESEARCH!"
Dixon Rice – “If you could use improvement at writing dialogue, challenge yourself by drafting a screenplay.”
Excellent tips!
