Giveaway! Song of the Meadowlark by Sherri Johnson!

Welcome to Writing for Christ Sherri Johnson, it is great to have you here! Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader probably doesn’t know?

Thank you for hosting me!

One thing many do not know about me is: Recently, I have become hooked on the TV show Swamp People and secretly dream of going to the Louisiana swamps to catch a gator!

Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?

I love to read Christian Romances and Thrillers. I write Romances and would love to write a thriller for my next novel.

Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how you view writing?

I have heard lately (more than once) how important it is to write “tight”. Tight writing sells. In the past, I thought word count was at the top of the list. I thought it took a lot of words to say what you needed to say. I could not imagine writing a short story or a novella. Recently, I wrote a 1,000 word romance for a contest. Talk about having to write tight! At the end of it, I saw a romance that was no less a romance than my 90,000 word novels. It was fun having to cut and compress—tighten things up a bit—to say what needed to be said in as few words as possible. My advice would be to write as tightly as you can, remembering that the average reader is smarter than we give her credit for and she can infer our meanings without us having to spell it all out for her.
