Follow the Masters

On Description.

See? Learning from the masters has been a part of us since we learned to read and write. So, don’t be afraid, don’t be shy, and follow the masters. Write what is in your mind, and do not worry about what others may say, think, or do. After all, it’s you on the page living your characters’ lives.
