& they can’t bc theyre busy
or they say Yes but never give me feedback
& i know my friends don’t Owe me anything
but it would be nice if someone Wanted to read my book #writing

Thriller Tip: Stop the "Backstory Overload." 🛑
Readers don't need the detective's divorce history in Chapter 1. They need to see the body.
Hook them with action first. Explain the trauma later.
Writers: What’s the opening "action beat" in your current WIP? 👇
