Writing Tip for Today

WRITE THE WAY YOU SPEAK
Don't overthink it and don't overwrite. Sometimes people, especially beginners, want to sound smart and literary and professional, but that only makes your writing stilted. Write so that people will want to read your work. Make it natural and casual, particularly when writing dialogue. Read it out loud. If it doesn't sound like you and your friends talking re-write it until it does.
