We have a similar set of "rules" but one fun thing I like to do is this: Instead of covering every single little detail about my person or place or event, I try to base each story on an outstanding hook that can draw the readers in (John Smith's 12 great escapes, for example, or the opposing points of view of George Washington and King George III). Ideas like these automatically make readers want to turn the pages to find out what happens next.Rosalyn Schanzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605814379256096903noreply@blogger.com
