On Fridays, we like to share writing tips and tricks with our readers. We hope this section will encourage and inspire you to continually improve as a writer.
Writing Tip – Don’t Overwrite
Remember, you don’t necessarily need a paragraph describing the bus or a character’s kitchen, unless you’re absolutely sure such descriptions are necessary to the mood of your story. Otherwise, a long, unnecessary portrait will not only feel tacked on, but will surely bog down your readers. Always remain relevant and concise!
Writing Prompt – “Quitting Time!”

Or quietly slip out the backdoor? Now, write a story or poem that captures your complex emotions on your final workday and the future ahead of you.
Makes a lot of sense. Just what is required in and for our fast paced society: relevance and impact
