7 TIPS TO LIFT YOUR WRITING
​Saturday February 10th

* Conflict and resolution: There is no story without conflict. But conflict doesn't have to be violence. We examine the conflict that writers can use to make their story strong and interesting. 

* Similes and metaphors: These are very valuable devices to make your writing sing, but many use them incorrectly. Ron will show you how they are best used. 

* Foreshadowing: This is a great tool for creating tension if used correctly. 
 
* Using strong nouns and verbs:
Getting rid of adjectives and adverbs can strengthen your writing and make it more exciting. 

​and several other strategies to give your writing the X factor.
