Real Life Diagnostics is a weekly column that studies a snippet of a work in progress for specific issues. Readers are encouraged to send in work with questions, and I diagnose it on the blog. It’s part critique, part example, and designed to help the submitter as well as anyone else having a similar problem.
If you're interested in submitting to Real Life Diagnostics, please check out these guidelines.
Submissions currently in the queue: Ten (+ two resubmits)
This week’s questions:
Is this a good start? Does it show and not tell? Did I manage to stay in the hero's POV? Did I use strong verbs and avoid passive voice?
Market/Genre: Contemporary Romance
On to the diagnosis…
