WHEN IN DOUBT, SPELL IT OUT

There is nothing worse than writing a complex story line and finding yourself lost in a maze of characters and plot with no way out! Readers appreciate twists and turns unless it stops the flow of the story and especially, if it makes them mentally patch the pieces together.

It is well worth the expense to invest in the talents of a professional, development editor to read a draft. Their objectivity and skills ferret out rough spots in a story, such as: gaps and gaffs in dialogue; plot cadence and accuracy; and missing passages. These types of omissions usually occur when we take for granted something we think is a universal chord with the audience when, in fact, it isn't. I like the mantra, when in doubt . . . spell it out. When in the midst of an edit (as I am now), it keeps me focused on producing the best story I know how.

I hope this tip helps you with your projects.
