In reply to dholcomb1. Hello dholcomb Yes! Excellent point. Everything we write needs to flow. Sound natural. We don't want it to come across like the writer is trying too hard to impress the reader.

In reply to Not Your Mama’s Character Descriptions – From the Writers in the Storm blog | Author Don Massenzio.

Hello Don Massenzio -

Thanks for posting my blog on your blog.

I enjoyed touring your website. You listed several favorite authors, and had Harlan Coben first. His writing is fun and powerful. Many of his paragraphs are locked in my brain, word-for-word.

And - you shared that To Kill A Mockingbird was your favorite book.

My granddaughter is named Scout. 🙂

Wonderful article, loved the creative way the writers you selected described their characters. Translucent skin. Bright blood on a white t-shirt.

In reply to Margie Lawson. Oh, I'm determined to see you in December! Even if I had to plant myself right in front of the ship to intercept you. Thanks, Margie! (And thinking today about last year's April and our wonderful walk through the French vineyards! Loved that day.)
