Writerly Advice #2

[justine_currie]

From the awesome agent, Nathan Bransford, some general writing advice to keep in mind:

Writing isn't about capturing real life as it actually happens. We have, well, real life for that.

Instead, writers have to elevate life and add spices and all the rest. Writers interpret real life, elevate it, reorder events, and serve up something perfectly balanced and ready for public consumption.
