Being a food writer, in addition to a fiction writer, I often use culinary terms as analogies for fiction writing. Obviously, today is no exception. We do it all the time anyway, when we say things like “honing our skills” or “trimming the fat” off a story. Today I encourage you to sharpen your knives. … Continue reading Sharpening Our Knives
