Over the past few weeks, I’ve been writing lots of new things, editing and thinking about how my writing has changed since I signed with Agent A almost one year ago. (Seriously! Wow!) We’ve all got our writing strengths and weaknesses. Mine? Okay. My strongest writing comes with my plots. When others read my MSS, their first comment is usually, “Wow, I didn’t get bored for a second. You kept things moving.” Then the next comment is, “But I didn’t feel inside the character’s head enough.” So, strong at plotting and weak with internal emotion. Fixable, right? Sure, and once someone points out your weaknesses, it should only make you more aware of them so they can be addressed. When I first started writing book-length fiction in November 2006, I had no idea how dialogue tags worked. They were a MESS. Now, it’s second nature. Don’t even notice my tags. Practice definitely pays off.

So, what are the strongest and weakest parts of your writing? Have you mastered something you once struggled with?

P.S. Isn’t the class of 2k8 widget (see right and scroll) adorable? It’ll show a new book every time you refresh the page! Clever.
