Writing Tips
▶When writing your novel, try using layers for each chapter. Write the first layer as a draft, then with each draft, add senses, descriptives, and details. The first layers, you may be writing in a hurry because the words are coming to you fast and furious, let the creativity flow and get the words down without worrying about details.
▶After you complete the first draft, you can go back and add details, for example, the first draft perhaps you just said someone’s eye colors were “blue,” in the second draft you can be more detailed, “her eyes were as blue as the Caribbean sea.”
▶Don’t let details hold you up in your writing. Keep the flow going.

This poster is something I need to hang over my desk. This works well when writing short stories and books for kids as well, especially when you aren't into writing novels or chapter books. I love your tips.
