And here are some things that might be handy for writers who are doing a variety of things writers do.

Adding tension to your work and trimming it down: The Fire in Fiction by Donald Maass

Framing your plot with a structure: The Seven Basic Plots by Christopher Booker (with many thanks to George Galuschak)

Reducing your verbage: The 10% Solution by Ken Rand

Writing sex scenes: Stacia Kane’s 26-part series (Thanks to George and Miranda)

Writing fight scenes: Marie Brennan’s multi-part series

Hope these come in handy.

Hi there!

Thanks for the link-back! Just letting you know, the “Be a Sex-Writing Strumpet” series on my blog is actually 26 parts, not 5. The whole thing is like 40k words. 🙂

Thank you! I appreciate the new information, and I will amend that link!
