WRITER TIP THURSDAY - Elizabeth Bromke

 Good morning, everyone!

Our tip for today comes from Elizabeth Bromke. We get to see her Writer's Nest tomorrow. In the mean time, here's her tip:

Give yourself permission to write where you want. The words will flow better.

All my best

~Angela

THURSDAY TIP - from June Faver

June Faver has lots of advice to offer writers. After having written every day for the pasts 3,946 days, she has to have learned some things, right?

In the past she has told us to 'write every day- no matter what'

Today, she offers this sage advice:

 Avoid backstory in the first few pages. 

Grab the reader with the first paragraph 

Need an example, read any of her previous books. You can also pre-order The Best Cowboy Christmas, Ever

WRITER'S TIP THURSDAY - on Friday - Fran Thomas

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am thankful for all the authors who've shared their time and stories with me this year.

~Angela

Fran's tip is all about finding your best writing time.

What works for me is to write first thing in the morning. If I allow myself to check email or look at Facebook, I usually don't get anything accomplished on my book that day.

WRITING TIP THURSDAY - Kayelle Allen

One of my favorite tips is how to increase the emotional aspect of a story. Instead of adding words that tell us how a character feels, layer aspects of emotion into the setting. Readers will pick up on the emotion created by the setting and assume what the character feels. For example, in the opening of my book Bringer of Chaos: Forged in Fire, it's obvious how he feels, based on his perception of the setting.

Would this incessant nightmare of darkness never end? The steaming, lightless rainforest stank of alien spores and enough flowers to choke the dead. Let the rescue party inhale, but this cloying scent left a sickening taste in his mouth. 

WOW!  Going back through my manuscript again :-) Thanks for sharing!
