Writing Recipe
Read
Read all you can
This will change your writing craft,
Additions, subtractions through draft
Imagine
Imagine the incredible
But believable characters and scheme
Thought up in unlikely places or a dream
Cut
Cut out the nonsense that stalls
Your story, and stops it from rising.
It’s an important aspect when advising.
Show
Show the reader
And balance it with tell, so they can imagine
A harrowing man, or the last standing dragon
Love
Love your story
The writing, setting, the whole caboodle
Then go celebrate and eat a strudel.
Recipes and Writing,
Bea
The advice to love your story matters so much. Since I've been working on shorter pieces again, it's getting easier to love the process like I used to so long ago.
