It is with a heavy heart that I’d like to announce that, after 12 long years, I will no longer be taking any private editing clients. Thank you so much for your support of my business over the years. Bless you all!

The best scenes I've ever written were some of the easiest ones to write; it's the writing that leads up to them that's the hard part... And that's really a metaphor for life too. #Writing

I named my pen Len the Pen. Len and I were besties. We clicked so well we could finish each other's sentences, and were always on point. Then Len got deluded. Thought he was mightier than the sword. Tried to stab me in the back. Bad way to make your mark on me, Len... #vss365

Only share the RIGHT details. Nobody cares what color Bob's socks are. They do care about his labored breathing and the tint of the asphalt after the car hits him. #Writing

Sometimes when I am writing I am aware of a rhythm, a dance, a fury, which is as of yet empty of words. Stephen Spender #Author #Quote

"Had" is not your friend! It likes to sneak in where it doesn't belong. "Jon and I had decided to..." Disturbingly akin to passive voice.

Every sentence should strengthen your character, expose us to beauty/truth, or further the plot. Everything else is bullshit. #Writing

You want your verbs to fit the situation. If a bomb is going off, use an explosive verb! #Writing #WritingTips #Verb

Writing extends the human mind. It allows the organization and portrayal of thoughts that would be impossible without it. #Writing #Write

As an exercise, emulating other authors is helpful; even so, only your natural voice will add something NEW to the world. #Writing #Write

When writing interruptions, if you first write what the character wants to say, the fragment left behind will sound natural. #Write #Edit
