I’ve been thinking a lot about writing sharp. As I see it, to keep
driving the plot forward I need to:
Ø Structure
the plot
Ø Shape
chapters including some rough edges
Ø Slide
over time
Ø Sharpen
sentences – I find the Tweet comment box useful for this
Writing in first person from a
young POV gives me a lot of time to notice everything and understand only the
things that have importance for my MC.
Children have very sharp powers
of observation - probably sharper than adults - yet at the same time their
emotional reactions are murky and much more primitive. ~ Donna Tartt
I hear the little children of the wind
Crying solitary in lonely places. ~ William Sharp
DO YOU PREFER WRITING IN FIRST OR THIRD PERSON?
