At yesterday's meeting, Rick shared articles from Writer's Digest, the July/August 2009 issue.
In particular, I very much enjoyed "Hook Readers With A Strong Beginning" by Les Edgerton.
Excellent; short and to the point; tight wording; and biting humor. My kind of teacher.
He mentioned something which one of my critique partners harps on all the time: DO NOT use "_______, he/she thought to him/herself". Is there someone else inside his/her head to tell [unless there is a mind reader in the story].
Excellent thought. I shall share it with Nic as soon as I can.
