My current #BedsideReads #TBR * Visual Thinking by Temple Grandin * The Marriage of a Thousand Lies by SJ Sindu I loved Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Women doing extraordinary work in a male-dominated field. After a career in policing/forensic photography, the themes felt very close to home!

#CSIWritingTips I’ve noticed that crime #writers often overlook smells in their crime scenes, but they’re such an important part of every investigation. Smells, whether it’s decomp, chemicals, or something else, tell the CSI team so much about what has happened. Don’t leave them out! #CrimeFiction

#WritingTips #AmWriting #QueryTips Strong writing is the #1 factor agents look for. A compelling voice will always stand out. Before querying literary agents, make sure your work shines. Edit thoroughly, seek feedback, and read widely. A clear, concise, and engaging query letter is also crucial. ✍️

#WritingTips Filter words (felt, saw, heard) create distance between readers and your characters. Filler words (really, just, very) clutter your writing. Instead of "She felt scared," try "Her chest tightened." Cut unnecessary words to make your sentences tighter, clearer, and more powerful.

#WritingTips #writers It’s the cadence in your writing that turns simple words into something unforgettable. Reading your words aloud helps you hear if your writing has a pleasing rhythm or if it sounds stiff and awkward.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 301: Here's an exercise to try. Try writing your sentences like this, in isolation. It will make your brain think differently about the way in which you use language. It might give you some insights about your habitual sentence length, and how to vary your cadences.
