Transitions in Writing

 



Having a good manuscript, whether writing an essay or a novel, transitions are a necessity to make your writing stronger and connecting paragraphs together to make it easier for the writer.  It also keeps the reader engaged in your story












When editing my third book, as I am still in the process, I noticed a huge lack of transitions in each chapter without transitions between two character storylines. Making the story flow is essential in your creative expression.

September Open Thread

 


At last, summer days come to a close 
as a new season is near.








Cooler days ahead

but coffee is bliss

to a new day ahead













 


By evening, perhaps a dessert coffee after a comfort

meal




Let us not forget the highlights of fall

as spooky characters appear for

trick or treats

















Remember to step out of your

element and create!












As leaves change, take a drive or walk to

enjoy the scenery.  Take a break from the norm,

see the beauty of nature's brush of colors.








A time for fun




As September greats us,

keep looking ahead


Work hard, work true

on your project















Remember to take a rest
to recharge, regroup

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: DATES STUFFED WITH WALNUTS AND COVERED IN WHITE CHOCOLATE.

 DATES STUFFED WITH WALNUTS AND COVERED IN WHITE CHOCOLATE.

This is the time of year to prepare fun treats that are cold and delicious to eat on a hot summer day. It’s the season when we try to use the oven as little as possible and focus on cold dishes.

Makes 10-12 pieces.

Ingredients

  • 10-12 large Medjool dates
  • 10-15 walnut halves

Icing:

  • 100 gr. white chocolate
  • 3 tsp. oil

Toppings:

  • ¼ cup slivered almonds
  • ¼ cup candied nuts
  • Colored sprinkles

Directions

Cut the dates lengthwise just enough so you can extract the pit, making sure not to cut all the way through. Stick half of a walnut inside a date, then gently press the date closed around the nut. Prepare the rest in the same fashion.

Place the chocolate in a glass bowl and heat a few seconds at a time in the microwave until it has melted. Stir until smooth.

Dip the top half of the dates in the melted white chocolate, then place them on a tray covered with baking paper. Sprinkle toppings on the dates, then place the tray in the fridge to let the chocolate set. Serve the stuffed dates in muffin liners. 

Level of difficulty: Easy, Time: 25 minutes 


ENJOY!
