Expand on...My writing tip learned from Penumbra: <br /><br />Expand on the strongest parts of your manuscript. Writers have parts of a manuscript that they are well done, because of inspiration, a unique idea, or expertise / special knowledge. Often these parts are the same length as the ordinary or 'filler' parts of the manuscript.<br /><br />However, if you expand on your strong passages, they will over-shadow the weaker parts. Not only will your final draft be stronger, but you will enjoy the writing process more because you are writing to your strength and passion.Walter Knighthttp://www.waltknight.yolasite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510182515140078180.post-57344865133708926942011-07-09T16:42:22.270-05:002011-07-09T16:42:22.270-05:00Thanks, Walt, for that encouraging note.

At least with Penumbra Publishing you get an honest look, although they are getting busier.<br /><br />Keep writing and do not be shy.
