Just got back from a quick run up to Clemson to hear my girl play in a concert and stopped by to vote before heading home. Kudos to the school kids who made these stickers! 🤩

My husband was 100% sure his pizza had prosciutto on it. It didn’t.

Writers do the same thing with their drafts. You know what you meant, so that’s what you see on the page. That’s why a fresh reader can be so useful.

What’s one thing a fresh reader caught in your pages that you couldn’t see yourself?

Finding the clues along the way, and trying to solve it before the protagonist says, is half the fun of reading a mystery. Planting those clues is one of the harder parts of writing one.

Too obvious and the reader solves it by page 50. Too buried and the reveal feels like a cheat. The fix is to give every clue a second job, one that shows itself on a second pass.

No one’s born knowing how to write a novel. They practice until they do.

Which mysteries sent you flipping back to the first chapters to find the clues you missed? Tell me in the comments.

I finally made it to a CreativeMornings Charleston event! CreativeMornings/Charleston The theme for September was Current, and the morning lived up to it.

The MARSH Project The M.A.R.S.H. Project shared how a few neighbors, home more with their kids during COVID, started caring for the marsh they walked every day. Trash cleanup grew into native plant restoration, and then into a pretty cool movement that’s gaining momentum.
Afterwards everyone headed outside to the edge of Noisette Creek to plant SC native frog flower (a.k.a. frog fruit, or turkey-tangle fogfruit… gotta love the names) along the bank. (Photo courtesy of my new writer friend.)

People who love a place notice when it changes.

(Writers, that’s setting. A place that keeps changing, and characters who notice.)

My best friend almost blew her husband’s surprise party when she saw how disappointed her husband was on his actual birthday, hours before the real thing. She nearly threw in the towel and told him everything early.

She held the line. The payoff arrived exactly on schedule, at a lakehouse down the road, surrounded by his best friends and loved ones.

Writers do the same thing to their own manuscripts, rushing to explain a scene the second it feels flat, before it’s had the chance to earn its ending. Full breakdown in the slides. 👆
