I recommend "Murder Your Darlings," by Roy Clark. He touches on things like sentence length and structure, just as you're suggesting. It's like a mixtape of fantastic writing advice.

Writers, if you feel like a scene is slower than you'd like it to be, try mixing things up with shorter sentences and/or more active verbs. Your mileage may vary, but for example, instead of "She took off running." you can try "She ran." as a punchier alternative.

PS. Penguin Random House has announced it'll donate up to $10,000 to the Hurston Wright Foundation, which works to develop, discover, & support black authors. PRH says it'll give a dollar every time people tweet the hashtag

Today's recommendation for 2019 fiction is the short story "Do Not Look Back, My Lion" by @AlixEHarrow in @BCSmagazine.
A story about love, sacrifice, social change, and how not all fighters wield swords.

@EvanWinter's THE RAGE OF DRAGONS was one of my favorite novels of 2019, epic secondary world fantasy strongly influenced by Sub-Saharan African cultures, in a Game of Thrones meetsThe Count of Monte Cristo plot, with wars, magic, revenge, and yes, Dragons.

Deepest apologies. Of course, YOUR tweets are selling copies. :)
In all seriousness though, some tweets--those that get good engagement, are community building, or are related to your novels--actually do help with reader awareness!

Perhaps this has more to do on the non-fiction side? There, it certainly is very helpful.

Authors, don't stress out too much about social media if it's not your thing. Good publishers can sell just as many copies of a book by an author with 10 followers as we can of an author with 10,000 followers. It's about the quality of the book. Always. :)

RETICENCE is now available in trade paperback from Orbit US!
Bookish and proper Percival Tunstell finds himself out of his depth in this delightful conclusion to NYT bestselling author @gailcarriger's Custard Protocol series.
