Good storytelling tips here, most of which you’ll probably know about, but it never hurts to be reminded. I can attest to two strategies that work for me: writing about what I don’t know (writing is about discovery, right?) and reading the work aloud. Especially the latter–*hearing* the story helps me pick up on language problems, gaps, unrealistic dialogue . . . If I stumble over my own words, it’s time to take a closer look. Thanks, WordPress, for another great post.
