      FOR WRITERS

          Writing is easy. Revising, editing, researching  -  now that's tough!
           Check this page for tips. Do  you want me to address something specific?

      TODAY'S WRITING TIP
      When you are writing be aware of your audience. If your reader is looking for a fast paced thriller, skip the long expository. If your reader is looking for a thoughtful, thematic work, give yourself time to explore the themes and concepts.
