Writers must master all sorts of skills, from learning how
to best describe a character, to creating good dialogue to understanding
grammar, spelling and usage. Whether you are writing fiction, memoir or
creative nonfiction, it’s my belief that the single most important thing a
writer must do is to immerse the reader in a story. Even a lot of nonfiction
comes to life when a story is presented. Most of us can always use better
skills at scene writing, because scene writing is integral to helping the
reader connect with the story.
