I go to Barnes and Nobles, not too often, which is sad, but often enough and I buy this journaling book/magazine called, Bella Grace, Life's A Beautiful Journey. It's got beautiful pictures, and thought provoking readings that get you to write. I came across one of it's pages called, Tips for making your writing come to life. So, I thought I would share them with you. * Throw out everything you learned about writing in school. This includes forgetting about five-paragraph essays, introductions that drag along, and long-winded sentences. * Delete your opening paragraph. Some of the most compelling stories drop you right into the middle of them. * WRITE MORE. * Get to the point. Simple sentences are often the best way to go. *READ MORE. * Don't overly complicate things. * Use your true voice. Write your story as though you are telling it to a friend. In fact, try recording it first. This adds an air of authenticity. * Don't be afraid to make up word
