See! What did I tell you? I promised to get your Writing Tip before the weekend, right?
*cough*... It's Friday... *cough*
You probably expected it sooner, or maybe you knew it wouldn't be... Which is it? Or you can take the middle road; "quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a"...
Carrying on, I'm at chapter five; nearly halfway through. I'm still floating at around 56,800 words since I haven't gotten the chance to add any new scenes, yet.
Here's your Word Of The Day:
Bioluminescence:
The emission of light from living organisms; also : the light so produced
And finally:
Writing Tip:
Think your novel is getting dull? As you're writing it, are you getting tired of your plot?
Consider subplots. Already have them? Is it still boring? Consider plot twists! If its still boring by then, well, I'd love to know how and why. It's probably your characters, no offense. They might take themselves a little too seriously.
Back to plot twists; they should come naturally if you're good at pulling them off, or, if you developed the story before you wrote it (most people do, but some don't). Are you new to writing? Do you know what a plot twist is?
It's a change in the expected direction or outcome of the plot. Sometimes you can predict it, but the best plot twists are when they come as a complete shock. They're always the best, and also help you to get out of writer's block sometimes, too!
Plots twists add, well, a twist, to you novel, but it adds more excitement for the reader. Try it!
