I’m coming in really late, and your blog is awesome. I’m doing the first round of revisions on my WIP, and I see I’m doing much of this. So, Margie, your lessons are sinking into my brain!

I’m off to your blog now, though I see I’m late there too.

Hey Margie, a bit late here. I ran across your blog by accident OH NO AN ALMOST missed opportunity. HUgs and thank for posting the five. I needed them as I have a wip I hope to enter in a major contest. I sent the link to the blog to my critique partner telling her we need to use these things to look over our work when we send it to each other. I hope to take your class again I think if I keep taking them eventually they will sink in and become second nature to me. Hope to see you in July in Nashville.

Vonnie –

Your insight is as accurate as it is eloquent.

VONNIE WROTE:
The most important thing I learned is that a writer can empower her story by carefully digging deep into its heart and soul to mine its inherent treasure, word by word, line by line. It’s the content (i.e theme, plot, characters) that inspires the rhetorical devices, emotional hits, dialogue cues, and cliche twisting that will propel a story from mediocre to outstanding NYT stature.

What a magnificent “A-ha” insight!!! Thank you so much, Margie!

VONNIE — THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR INSIGHT. IT’S PERFECT.

BIG HUGS………….MARGIE
