Five Ingredients for POOR Writing

Five ingredients for Poor Writing --Author Nicola Morgan shares these tips on her blog. She calls herself the Crazy Old Bat, but she knows her stuff.

A Few to Watch:
LOW STAKES – what does the MC stand to lose if he/she fails?

OVER WRITING – cut the  back story, excess adjectives, adverbs, and rein it in.  Mainly, don't give the reader more details or info than they need or want.

    These are pretty helpful. Now I've got to go check my WiP to check and see if my MC has any real stakes at hand. Thank you.
