That's the crucial part where a writer uses a little background to generate some drama and some personal tension. When used right, the reader not only follows the story, but the reader then wants to see that hit; they want to see that big win.James Presslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395582214077061432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8061089556786959378.post-30018021198200958982018-08-20T11:50:55.071-05:002018-08-20T11:50:55.071-05:00Thank you.

Writing draft after draft also helps. You should share this post at a September Writers, We meeting.
