Alexa Donne | 3 Game Changing Writing Tips (For Me) @AlexaDonne | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
I'm sharing 3 pieces of writing advice that have been game changers for me as a writer. These aren't new to regulars on the channel, but they're all here in one compact (for me haha) short list! If you're already a decently accomplished writer looking for writing advice beyond 101/newbie stuff--these are the 3 things I learned from industry professionals that have made a real difference in leveling up line level prose and craft. When I look back at exactly how and why I've improved from book 1 to now 6 (!!!), and even the jump in quality between my first and third published books--it's these three things!
00:00 Introduction
01:21 Magic pacing fix
04:51 Narrate vs. dramatize
07:58 Echoes, crutch words, word choice
11:40 Final thoughts
