A familiar path with new focus
I'm an excellent story starter. But I bog down in the midst of the journey, just about the time when a reader should be downright breathless and in a hurry to get the page turned for the next sentence of my tale.
I need to work on keeping my story as exciting to write as it is to read. One of my future tactics is to have some visual clues that press writing momentum onward. I'll include short passages of other writers' tightly-written adventure or suspense novels on hand to read over in order to maintain a forward-thinking mood. I may be walking a familiar path, but I'll be quickening my pace to get to see what's now hiding beyond that friendly old tree, just ahead.
