Writing with Punch

The things I like to find in a story are punch and poetry.
~ Sean O’Faolain

Flat writing is boring. These ten mistakes writers make list was very informative. Read mistake #2 on flat writing.

Read the list, find your mistake and spend some time editing today. Which doesn’t mean you shouldn’t write but by stepping back as an editor you may find easily fixed mistakes. But don’t waste too much time, there’s writing to be done. Set the timer for 30 minutes, editing time. Set the timer for 30 minutes, writing time. Now get back to work.

Lovingly,
