Join NY Times Best Selling #author @angela.knight.7161 for Master Class: Spells of the Heart: Editing Your Romance for Maximum Magic Nov 11-Dec 18 https://bit.ly/AKMasterClass #writing #class

You’ve just typed The End. Sigh! You’re done…

Not so fast. You can be absolutely sure that somewhere in that stack of pages are: embarrassing plot holes; limp love scenes; sentences that clank instead of ring; conflicts that go nowhere; colorless cardboard characters; and fight scenes with absolutely no punch.

But don’t despair. That, my dear romance novelists, is why God made rewrites.

In this month-long online class, New York Times bestselling author Angela Knight will demonstrate how to excavate the outstanding book buried under layers of dreck. She’ll cover everything from finding and plugging logic holes to transforming a dull love scene into something that will make your reader’s toes twitch.

What’s more, you’ll be able to email your work to Angela for private critique and help figuring out how to fix problematic scenes.

Topics include:

Introduction -- What the class will cover
More than Storytelling -- A terrific story does you no good if your writing is limp, confusing or so illogical you break your reader’s suspension of disbelief. This lesson will explore why rewrites are crucial to excavating and polishing your gem of a story.
Merciless reading -- Spotting problem scenes and deciding on a solution.
Hunting Holes -- Plugging pesky plot holes. “Oh, my God, this makes no sense! How am I going to fix this without throwing out the book?”
Razor Blade Fangs -- Using emotion to give a dull scene big, sharp, pointy teeth.
The Dance of Dialog – Adding interest and sparkle to flat dialog
For God’s Sake, Tell a Joke – Snark, smartassery and sarcasm.
Spicing up the sex – What to do about a love scene that just lies there.
Tear Jerking – Depicting the character’s pain without getting maudlin.
Blood, Sex and Romance -- Giving a fight scene maximum punch
Down in the Dumps – Repairing info dumps.
Fixing a shi**y sentence: How to spot and fix sentences that stop readers in their tracks.
