There was so much in here that had me saying "YES!" because L.J. had such a way of putting into words, the very tactics that writers need to know to make that "magic" happen...that "something special" that causes a reader to reach eagerly for the next sentence, paragraph after paragraph. He knows how to teach it, because it happens in his books, continually. I also loved his willingness to admit that even his already published works could have used some pruning in places, and he shares those places with us. He then invites us to see how that particular correction would have read more smoothly, and why. I consider him to be a master teacher of writing fiction.
