Only a few days to go before @lancymccall.bsky.social CODE BLOCK is out! I’m super excited for her. I had the privilege of being her writing coach in the early drafts of the book. This meant cheering Lancy on when she needed it, & getting the confetti ready when CODE BLOCK hits the shelves.

#writingtip #writing
Text: Quick Tip: Having trouble moving your dialogue along? Consider your goals for the scene: What does your reader need to get out of it? What do your characters need to get out of it?
Text: Quick Tip: Are your characters: Discoering something? Hiding something? Working together? At odds? All of the above? How does the dynamic change the conversation?
Dialogue should move your plot forward and develop your characters.
Ask yourself: Why is this scene here? What do I want my readers to know about my characters when it ends? What do I want my characters to know at the end of the scene? (Those aren’t always the same things!)

"I read hundreds of pages of submissions that didn’t appeal to me. After all, I had been sitting on the other side of the editorial desk for years, dreaming of acceptance. How could I say no to a novel without reading 50 pages and seeing if the fifty-first was where the story really started?"
