Expanding time is a brilliant tool that most writers don’t empower as much as they could. An expanded time passage that’s written well locks the reader in the POV character’s emotions. Those strong emotions keep the reader immersed in the story from one high emotion scene to the next.

We've all watched movies with dialogue we can predict. Watched movies with scenes we can predict. It's the same with some books.

Don't write that sometimes predictable book!

You can share impact in small ways and big ways. Sometimes that impact hits the reader with an EMOTIONAL BOOM!

You know you want more emotion. But sometimes you don’t know how to get it on the page. Sharing impact on the POV character will add emotion and depth and take your scenes from good to stellar.

Attend this webinar and I’ll show you how.
