Today, we are doing a very close read of Red's opening narration and how Red’s voice communicates both character and world in an effective and efficient way.

Also Mary Robinette talks about what she thinks is the most effective way to draw your readers attention to something. Thing of the Week: Planet Crafter Homework: Take a sentence from your work in progress and rewrite it to adjust the age of the character to make them a child.
