#WednesdayWritingTips 4/4
Regardless of the length, shorter does not always make telling a compelling story any easier. As an exercise, try taking a scene from your novel (or someone else’s) and turn it into a standalone short story.

Not sure how long your story should be? This week’s #writingtips will cover the general word count range!

[Chrysalis Editorial @Chrysalis_DC]

#WednesdayWritingTips 3/4
A novella is 25k -40k words, while a novel runs somewhere between 60k-100k. The ideal length for short stories (for publication in anthologies and literary journals) is between 2.5k -5k words. Some magazines will publish a 10k-word short story or memoir.

Happy Monday!

“When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.” George Orwell

Whichever POV you decide on or who your POV character(s) are, consider each will add to the tone of the story and what information you want delivered to the reader. Try writing from alternative character's view points and see how that impacts your story

WednesdayWritingTips 10/11
Remember, within the same scene each character's perspective of that scene should be drastically different. Sometimes it’s a useful exercise to write the same scene but through multiple POVs. #writingtips
