More writing tips

I don't want you to get the idea that you're not a good writer. It may well be that you're the next best-seller!
But there are things you need to know about writing and basic observation.
Considering the latter, how sharp are you? Do you know that most male strangers acknowledge each other and women don't? There is no prejudice here, it is just a fact, and I illustrate a truth of our society.
Let me give you some more hints about good writing.
Consider, above all, that you are creating a distinctive world for your reader. It is not a real world, so you will have to adopt some techniques to give it the sense of reality.
Long sentences and words appeal to the mind. Short sentences appeal to the emotions.
You would do far better to use blunt, Anglo-Saxon words than those borrowed from other languages.
Yes, there are distinctive structures that have the power to move an audience; specifically, the triad; a group of words or phrases arranged in threes. Now don't go overboard on this technique. I once gave a practise assignment on balance and triads to my students and came across a work which was full of triads from one end to the other! Quality techniques should be used sparingly!
They include: balance; contrast and short sentences for effect.
Do not use capital letters for impact. You can create a better efect by shortning your sentences.
Generally, you should use a balance of long and short sentences.
Dialogue and dialect.
There is no question that good writers have an ear for rhythm and dialect in their work. Let us presume that you do not have an ear for dialect. Trust me, you will do yourself no good to enter the world of dialect unless you have a perfect ear. However, there are ways that you can bypass the problem. Bottom line; use words to indicate dialect and not any tortured twisting of letters. If you can't handle dialect, and few writers can, just pepper your character's dialogue with suitable words that indicate the character's background.
These are my words.
Be well and do well.
