As authors, giving our characters a stage is vital to a satisfying reading experience. Linda Yezak, over at Author Culture, talks about setting descriptions. How do you avoid boring the reader, while making the setting vivid?
One of my new Facebook friends, Teri Smith, contributes to A Novel Writing Site. While the lessons are geared for homeschoolers, there's much basic information for aspiring novelists.
Kathy Ide, over at Pixnpens, lists some pitfalls to avoid when writing dialogue.

Hi Jess -
Don't we all? Trying to keep up with my word count, email, blogging, and Facebook has my head spinning. :)
Enjoy the weekend.

I love Kathy Ide and her suggestions. Did I tell you she did a 15 minute critique once for me? Awesome!
Hi Terri -
Kathy gives excellent advice. You were fortunate to meet her and get a critique.
Blessings,
Susan :)

Hi Eileen -
The comments on this post are making me wonder if it's time to change the Friday Round-Up. Any suggestions?
