Shannon’s advice for Writers

Posted by Shannon C. on November 16th, 2007 filed in musings

Given that I pay for a blog and I also got a 100% on my Psychology term paper, not to mention the fact that I won a national essay contest in seventh grade, I feel that I am quite enough of an expert to offer up advice on improving one’s writing. And I have, at last count, four, maybe five writers on my friendslist who I know for sure are published/will be published, so I know I have a built-in audience.

I would say that this advice will become a regular blog feature, but I simply cannot be bothered bestowing such pearls of wisdom as I’ve gained on a regular basis.

That being said, today’s advice for writers is:

If you’re writing paranormal romance and instead of your readers picturing buff, studly paragons of primal masculinity, said readers picture the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you are obviously doing something wrong. Unless, of course, you are going to make mutants the next big trend in paranormal romances, in which case you can be excused.

Thus concludes Shannon’s writing advice for the day. I hope you have found it instructive.
