This is a reblog I thought I would share with you writers out there. It never hurts to be reminded too many times on how to cut the fat out of our writing. Catherine Ryan Howard has shared these tips from author C.S. Lakin.
Quick Tips To Help You Tighten Up Your Writing | Catherine, Caffeinated.
I hope you enjoy these tips. I find it handy to be reminded of these tips to keep me from falling into the same pitfalls repeatedly. As writers we don’t often notice these little oversights unless we have our ‘editing’ eyes finely tuned in.
Thanks for this link. It’s always good to be reminded.
Also a very BIG thank you for the great review you gave my book Mourning Has Broken on Amazon. I only noticed it yesterday. I’m glad you enjoyed it. You were extremely generous in your review:)

I loved it Carol. I was happy to write it. As a writer I could feel you bear your soul and as a child I could relate to so much, especially the void in expressing displays of affection within a family. π
