PROSE WRITERS - THIS IS FOR YOU

C. Hope Clark, author of mystery series, creator of Funds for Writers, has written an article for www.blacklilackitty.wordpress.com and it is a free writing lesson. She writes about problems of beginning writers and gives detailed information on how to cure those problems. Read this. You might learn something that could be very helpful.


"Rather than telling the reader what’s going on, my students could now make the reader experience what the character does, when the character does it, tallying the stimuli in an attempt to reach some sort of summation about that point in the story."  C. Hope Clark
