If your plot feels messy, try this: write one sentence answering “What problem is this story really about?” Everything else should orbit that.

Craft Tip: Tension doesn’t always come from high stakes—it comes from uncertainty. Try these 3 ways to build tension in a quiet scene: 1️⃣ Withhold key information from the character. 2️⃣ Let the setting work against them. 3️⃣ Introduce conflicting goals between characters. How do you build tension?

💥 Writing Tip: Want tighter prose? Start by cutting adverbs. Instead of “she ran quickly,” write “she sprinted.” Strong verbs carry more weight—and clean up your pacing. It seems simple but it's often forgotten. What’s your favorite adverb-swap? #WritingTips #EditingTips #AmEditing #WritersLife
