#RWLWritingTip Spend time in nature. Take deep breaths. Write using your own, human brain. Write about human experiences, human emotions. Let yourself be inconvenienced. Let your process be inefficient. Let it be hard. Hard is good.

#RWLWritingTip Don’t let yourself be held back by the seeds of the story you thought you were writing. If something else more exciting starts to bloom in its place, give it room to grow. #writingtips #bookeditor #freelanceeditor

#RWLWritingTip Use dialogue, not just to impart information, but to develop characters and relationships. How a person speaks says a lot about that character, and the way in which two people interact can reveal much about their relationship. #bookeditor #writingtips #showdonttell #booksky

#RWLWritingTip Early on in the writing process, it can be hard to pick a direction. Some are better than others. But there isn’t just one right way your story can go. At a certain point, it’s about picking a path and keeping on down it. #writingtips #bookeditor #freelanceeditor

#RWLWritingTip Having trouble getting into a writing groove? Set aside the same time every day. Some days you’ll write, some days you’ll stare lifelessly out the window. But the more consistently you show up, the more consistently the writing will flow. #writingtip #bookeditor #writing

If words are how you make sense of the world, use them. Write to figure things out. Write to manage anxiety. Write to reach others. Write to create change. Writing is an act of hope.

#RWLWritingTip My authors sometimes share their struggles with indecision. “Is this the right POV?” “The best plot twist?” “Is this even the story I should be writing?” I tell them: There is no right. No best. No should. Travel the path that most excites you. Then keep going. #bookeditor #writingtip

#RWLWritingTip I love helping writers identify what is at the heart of their story and subtly weave those #themes throughout. Rather than telling readers what you want them to take away, allow them to absorb themes through plot and character development. #bookeditor #writingtips

#RWLWritingTip If you’re having trouble staying motivated, find a writing partner to hold you to account. Check in once a day or week or month. If you know you have to tell someone what you’ve done, you’ll do more. #bookeditor #freelanceeditor #writingtips

I love taking a walk after my first read of, and initial notes for, a manuscript, before really digging into my editorial letter. In motion, in nature, everything becomes clear. #bookeditor #editingtip #writingtip #rwlwritingtip

#RWLWritingTip When developing a theme, think character arc. How does each main character’s relationship to the theme change throughout the story? Show through action, through character interactions, decision making, and their relationships to the world. #writingtips #bookeditor

Stopping to smell the #peonies before a terrific downpour and enjoying a little extra time away from my desk. As I would remind myself in college when studying philosophy, even Aristotle took breaks. Enjoy the #longweekend, friends! #takeabreak #rwlwritingtip #writingtip

#RWLWritingTip Don’t be afraid to show your main character’s prickly side. Revealing less flattering qualities can round out a character, help develop a compelling character arc, and invite readers to relate. #nobodysperfect #writingtips #bookeditor

#RWLWritingTip Want to show why two characters are right for each other? Make them intriguing and irresistible. If readers can’t help falling for your characters, they won’t wonder why the characters are falling for each other. P.S. Witty banter never hurts. #writingtips #bookeditor #booksky

#RWLWritingTip If you are writing a story with an unreliable narrator and want inspiration, you can’t do better than The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by #AgathaChristie. I first read this when I was about twelve years old, and I’ll never forget that jaw-dropping feeling. #writingtips
