Last writing gathering

Our writers group at Kelly Greens met for the last time this season. What great writers live here. We continued to talk about character development and plot as we suggested things that could make stories more dynamic. It is obvious a different vocabulary is needed if you are writing for adults as opposed to writing for children.
One writer added a paragraph at the beginning of her story and made it a great beginning. She is writing for children and that first paragraph will pull her readers into her story. Another writer is using her "voice" in her story and it is a fun read. I am excited to watch these writers finish their manuscripts and send them to a publisher.
If you have a story and are wondering if it is something that a publisher would like, give it to someone to read and ask for honest feedback. Make some changes to give your story more character and send it to a publisher. Remember, never give up if you want to be a publisher author.
