February 8 – March 6, 2016<\/p>\n

Three Brilliant Publishers Doing Things Differently<\/h4>\nA Digital Book World Article<\/h5>\n

Writing about cops? Changes in police training – \u00a0a Law and Fiction Blog by Leslie Budewitz<\/a><\/h4>\nThese articles on the changes in police training are several months old, but still very interesting, exploring the changes introduced in Washington State by the new director of the Criminal Justice Training Academy, former King County (Seattle and environs) Sheriff Sue Rahr.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Amazon Link Anatomy: What You Don\u2019t Know Might Be Killing Your Reviews<\/a><\/h4>\nAmazon URLs can be confusing. \u00a0Sometimes they are super short and other times they are three lines long. \u00a0So, what exactly is all that stuff in between?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Emotional Peaks: How to Make Sure They’re in Your Scenes and Chapters<\/a><\/h4>\nWhen you read a great story, you don’t even notice\u00a0how\u00a0you’re engaged.\u00a0 You just are–right?\u00a0 But skillful writers plant a rhythm into their writing.\u00a0 Like breathing, there are peaks and valleys of emotion and tension through all great scenes, chapters, even whole books.<\/p>\n
Well that is it for this week.\u00a0 I took these links from places I visited through social media and email.\u00a0 I hope they are helpful and entertaining.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nDon\u2019t touch anything sharp.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
