Betty Crocker's Quick Writing Class

Sorry today's writing post is so late. Plenty of excuses . . . if I'd climbed out of bed at four this morning, maybe it would've been on time. But I woke up at my regular time. It's been one of "those" days.

All the things I've thought to write about, before I actually got over here to write about them, seemed to require more thought than my brain is capable of today. So I tried to think of something quick and easy - like the Betty Crocker Quick Writing Rules - 15-Minutes from Start to Finish.

So here you go.

Before you begin, have these items handy:
Idea
Basic knowlege of grammar and punctuation

Mix together:
Characters
Plot
Setting
Conflict
Tension
Stir until blended thoroughly.

Edit for:
Overused words
Redundancy
Pacing
Flow
Plot holes
Character motivation

Bake for at least one day.

Re-read as it cools.

Serve.
