"Wordiness"


Many beginning writers think writing a picture book has to be simple. WRONG! The real truth is it's much . . .harder. With longer works the writer has more words to play with. With picture books the writer is limited to a certain word count. EVERY SINGLE WORD COUNTS!
There's no room to get decorate with you words. Make your work shine with the old rule of thumb: Less is better.

Happy Writing,
Magdalena
