Lesson 4

By adding characters to your sentences doesn't leave your readers clueless. In some cases there isn't a need for characters and in these cases as a writer you should have a verb; who is doing what? As a writer you should try to use active voice versus passive because passive adds words and usually draws away from the subject/action. You should only use passive when the agent of an action is self-evident or if it lets you replace a long subject with a short one or when it gives a coherent sequence of subjects. I wrote these out because this is something that is new to me. To sum up there are appropriate times to use different writing tactics. Always make sure that you a subject and a verb or a character and an action in your writing. Be as clear as possible and make sure that it is something your reader can understand.
