It's the 2nd day of my MOVING PARTY to celebrate the change to my new pen name~Mia Marlowe! On my blog today we're dealing with how to tighten prose so that it pings. My volunteer critique guest would appreciate your suggestions, so when you leave a comment you'll be entered in my daily drawing for one of my books.<br />

I'm continuing my online workshop on writing hooks at <a href="http://www.emilybryan.blogspot.com">www.emilybryan.blogspot.com</a> today. It's about end of chapter hooks, how to set them and why they'll take your story to the next level. I confess I took Jessica Andersen's name in vain while composing this post. Her Nightkeepers is one of my examples.<br />

When I sang professionally, I used to take part in master classes. I'd sing my aria. The acknowledged pro would take my work apart and show me how to improve. Amazingly, they sold tickets to these public baths. On my blog, we have no acknowledged expert. A critique group is only as strong as its weakest link. I may have missed something.
