Building Paragraphs

Picture
Sentences are the building blocks of a paragraph, and each paragraph works with the others in a novel, an article, or any copy to tell the story you’ve chosen to write. Treat each sentence as a vital part of your creation, and every paragraph will come alive.

•  Read each paragraph aloud and “listen” for the hiccup you will feel if the logic is amiss.

•  Don’t use pronouns without a clear antecedent.

•  Don’t let your sentence structure minimize important points.

•  Eliminate wordiness: repeated words/phrases, long-winded phrases, vague expressions.

•  Use active verbs whenever possible.

•  If a list will achieve greater clarity, then use one.

•  Check for smooth transitions or segues from one paragraph to the next. Don’t leave the reader wondering what they missed!

    Working with words is my passion. Working with others to help them reach their goals is also my passion. Editing incorporates the two. Perfect!
