Workshop
Seven Deadly Sins of Writing
The Devil of
Rejection tempts every writer with the
Seven Deadly Sins
of Writing. They seem innocent enough--a misplaced comma here, an
adverb there—but
soon, the writer finds himself or herself sinking
into the dreaded darkness of the Rejection Pile. Often, the writer
doesn't even know he's been deceived. So let's reveal the Seven Deadly
Sins of Writing for what they are—Death
to your manuscript.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Writing workshop examines
seven common
mistakes:
- Poor grammar and
spelling;
- Telling, not
showing;
- Passive voice;
- Purple prose;
- Repetitiveness;
- Point of view
breaches;
- And lack of
persistence.
"I learned more in 90 minutes with Sandy than I did in four semesters
of college. I whole-heartedly recommend her Seven Deadly Sins workshop
to anyone who writes. This gal knows her stuff."
