Sunday plan: football on, tea in hand, nodding at the score like I understand it. Really I'm here to spot Taylor in the stands and admire the parade of grown men in spandex. Joie's supervising from the arm of the couch. It's research, obviously. #booksky #authorsofbluesky #writerslife

Exposition gives readers context, while action keeps the story moving. Too much explanation can slow the pace, but too much action can leave readers confused. Balance both wisely.!

Two-page spread. Image on the left page is of a street mural in London, UK. Head and shoulders of a woman crying black tears, a tattoo on one shoulder and a raven on the other. The following poem on the right page.

Portrait Sitting
_________________o◊o_________________

She pulls clothes, plastic flowers,
a sock monkey out of her bag,
sets them aside in the studio.
I click off a few shots. Turning
to the camera, she holds
a comb to her hair. A notepad
to her chest.
"This represents
my first achievement and
my last achievement. I learned
to part my hair when I was four,
and this is the suicide note I wrote
yesterday."
Stunned,
I lower the camera, but she pleads,
"Keep shooting. Just
keep shooting."

The right pacing keeps readers hooked. Give tense scenes room to build, slow down for emotional moments, and speed up when stakes rise. Every scene should move story forward well!!

Silence is a convenient tool for those who don’t want anything to change. But the world doesn’t change through silence. It changes because someone, at some point, chooses to speak…

A good subplot adds depth without distracting from the main story. It can reveal character, deepen themes, create tension, or add consequences that make the main plot feel richer.!

Readers connect with characters who feel human. Give them desires, flaws, fears and emotions. Believable struggles help readers understand them and care about what happens next too!

The funniest thing about being a writer is that the better you get, the more you realize how much you don't know. It's a beautiful, humbling trap. #AuthorsOfBluesky #WritingLife #IndieAuthor #Booksky

As it's over 7 years since I last attended a con, it occurs to me I probably should go to one before I hit the decade...

Great ending feels earned, not forced. Choices, conflicts and consequences should build toward it. Readers can be surprised, yet understand why it had to happen. That is the goal!
