Things to avoid in the first pages:
– Tell Vs. Show issue
– Too worldly
– Throat clearing moments
– Word repeat
– Too many adjectives
– Character 'waking up'. Literally #wcla19 pic.twitter.com/059hs9GVPE— Kirtida Gautam is @ Draft-1 (@KirtidaGautam) May 5, 2019
Attended my first writing conference! The classes were inspirational and helped me in more ways with my writing than I could’ve hoped. So grateful to the staff, agents, authors and everyone who came out to help us writers perfect our craft and be the best we can be #WCLA19 ♥️

Had a great time teaching YA/MG writing and giving critiques at #wcla19 today, and also got to sit in on some useful talks from @EvePorinchak @KariSutherland and @DanaNewman.
