Penelope's curator insight,
October 17, 2013 8:04 PM
Writers are apprentices. We should continually be working on our craft. Perfect it? Nah. But we can always improve.
This wealth-of-tips article was quite a find. The 12 tips are like tiny gold nuggets. If you apply even one, it should actually take your writing--as it is right now--and color it golden.
A few nuggets:
o People love STORIES--don't be afraid to tell one
o Apply a little ALLITERATION - Using the same letter or sound to start multiple words in the same sentence. (EX: Write the way you want)
o Consider CADENCE - Play with syllabication. Just as in music think "rhythm" (Quick and the Dead)
o Power of THREES - Give examples, adjectives, and sentences in three's (3 little pigs, 3 wishes, etc.)
o Longish SENTENCE, then a short one. The short one will sound TRUE.
Read through all the tips to pick up some new ideas to add more color to your own writing.
