The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.” – Nikola Tesla

 In this week's episode, I outline 8 tactics for creating a cohesive novel. It can be hard to make sure your novel is consistent and clear from beginning to end, so I decided to outline my best tips for ensuring that you can achieve this writing goal.

1) Foreshadowing is key 
2) Ensure your characters have consistent attributes
3) Ensure the theme is represented in all scenes
4) Don't forget to mention the passage of time
5) Eliminate plot holes
6) Ensure consistent voice
7) Balance action with reaction 
8) Don't over-explain

I created the Turn Write Podcast for beginning writers, indie authors, for people who are looking for their voice and who want to know how to use it. The idea for this bite-sized podcast came to me as I sat in endless traffic commuting an hour each way to and from my 9-5 job, wondering why do I write? Why do I rush home every day with the agonizing hope of trying to string together meaningless words to create a feeling deeper than I could dare hope to describe? Well, day after day I kept thinking and there was only one answer: I loved to write. I am on a journey to becoming a published author, and I want to help you get there too.
