Writing Tip of the Day-Narrative

Narrative passages should be written as if issuing from the mind of the point of view character, with all description and observation filtered through his/her perceptions. Author intrusion is distracting and unnecessary.

Writing Tip of the Day-Secondary Characters

Secondary characters should be fully developed in their physical descriptions, motivations and attitudes. Yet they should never overshadow the heroine or hero in attraction or personality, never divert attention from these main characters.
