In reply to Alicia Rades. Hi Alicia, one recommendation I give many of my editing clients is to use a yellow highlighter in books they really love and feel are written well. Highlight the lines that are bits of backstory and explanation, then examine just where and how much that has been sprinkled into the story. You can learn a lot of technique by doing that.

In reply to James Pailly. Every once is a while a different verb for a speaker tag is effective and powerful, but the consensus among great writers and writing instructors is to make the speaker tag invisible so it doesn't detract from what is being said.

In reply to Penelope Silvers. I have the same problem. I like to over-explain. It seems counter intuitive to think less is more but it usually is, and more effective.

Thanks, CS! Circumlocution. That word jumped out at me like a big, fat furry spider. Big words just float my boat and I have to be careful when pulling them out in my novel. Three instead of four. Two instead of three. It ain’t easy! 😉

I’m going through a bit of an argument with a fellow writer over #4. She wants me to avoid using the word “said,” replacing it with words like “responded,” “speculated,” or “declared.”

I like #6. I’ve been working on figuring out the best way to introduce my characters and incorporate back story without boring readers. I think I’m getting better at it.
