Barbara Wallace and Debby will discuss one of the biggest mistakes rookie writers make... info dumping. To be fair, info dumping ins't limited to beginner writers, but the experienced writer usually knows when the words need to hit the cutting room floor. Back-story, Transition scenes, and world building are three of the common dumping grounds. Barbara and Debby will discuss how information can be woven through-out the story
Too much too quick vs picking and choosing what is important
Let the story play out like and onion layer after layer

May you be inspired, feel empowered, and B. Well.
