I have been fortunate enough to attend three, four-day writing excursions this summer. Since leaving the full-time teaching world, my home office hours are mostly dedicated to paying gigs. But, on these writing retreats, I splurge, allowing myself to dive head first into my fiction work.

This summer my fiction project is revising my YA Fantasy manuscript. As I’ve poured over these words (in some cases for the 3rd, 5th or 8th time!) I’ve learned a thing or two.

Curious to hear my tips? Head on over to my friend, fellow Wisconsin author Valerie Biel's blog to read the rest of this article by clicking HERE.

Then, check back here next week, and every week, for more Writing Wednesday goodness.

Happy writing,

Amanda
