Focus Your Writing to Easily Avoid Overwriting
Sometimes the most important concern when it comes to crafting a manuscript is to focus your writing.
To a point we already know that. In fact, we discussed how to focus your writing quite a bit last month in the second installment of our series on overwriting. Specifically we discussed the dangers of too many points of view, and how focusing on a limited number of perspectives can enable readers to experience a story the way we intend.
