The reader doesn't need as much backstory as you think they do. Start in the middle of the action. However, make sure you've given them a reason to care about the action first. #writetip

Turn details into a #story hard to forget, a story so real, embarrassing, personal, that it stays with your readers even after they finish your book! ✨ #storyplot #storydetails #inkstacks #writingtips

All first drafts are crap. Mine...yours, Stephen King's. That's what revision is for. You're in good company. #writetip

“Yes, but” or “No, and” – End Writer’s Block

When you have a truth worth sharing, writing becomes easier, more meaningful, and therefore more impactful for those reading it. Focus on telling your truth. #writerstips💡 #writingtips #writingcommunity #writersquotes #authors #Litburgbookpublishing #bookpublisher #books

Don't stop to edit yourself too much during that first draft. Get the words down first! Finish the book! Edit later. #writetip
