The Twitter Writing Tips Sessions

Over the past two years, I’ve used my Twitter feed to deliver a series of “quick-hit” writing tips. Well, in an effort to archive those for easy access and greater usefulness, I now present them here. (The longer ones were obviously broken up into several smaller tweets, of course.)

Writing tip #1: Work on more than one project at a time to beat writer’s block. If one stalls, jump to the other.

Writing tip #2: Writing is editing. Editing is writing. No first draft is perfect. Same for precious few second or third drafts.

Writing tip #3: When you finish the first draft set it aside long enough to give yourself a more objective POV before editing.

Writing tip #4: Character is king. You should know details about your cast even if those details don’t make it into the work.

Writing tip #5: Always do what’s best for your story, not necessarily what’s best for your characters.

Writing tip #6: Lawyers do law. CPAs do taxes. Writers write. You’re defined by what you actually DO, not what you just TALK about doing.

Writing tip#7: Want to get published? Learn these 3 skills: networking, writing, and networking. No, that’s not a typo.
