Summary
Want to Know the Biggest Secret in the Fiction Writing Industry?
Want to know the #1 'make it or break it' thing editors look for in potential manuscripts?
It's not Plotting techniques, Characters types, Themes, Settings, Genre formats, or anything else like that.
It's the story's Sentence Structure.
Disclaimer: This is how I was taught to paragraph and write dialogue for publication purposes by my professional editors. If you don't want to do it this way -- Don't. (Less competition for me.)
NOT a punctuation article.

Summary
My BIGGEST Pet Peeve: Description-less Fiction.
I utterly loathe reading a story where everything happens in a colorless vacuum. You don't know where they are, you don't know what they're doing, you don't know what the Characters LOOK LIKE! I despise a story where I can’t SEE, or worse can see only bits of what's going on.
How the heck am I supposed to imagine the scene like a movie in my head without knowing what stuff looks like?!
This tutorial will show you exactly how to fix this heinous problem.

[Tutorial] Writing ACTION Sequences -- The Plug & Play Method by OokamiKasumi

Summary
If you want the Reader to SEE the actions that you are trying to portray as a movie in their minds, Chronological Order is the ONLY way to do it Right.
DISCLAIMER: As with all advice, take what you can use and throw out the rest. As a multi-published author, I have been taught some fairly rigid rules on what is publishable and what is not. If my rather straight-laced (and occasionally snotty,) advice does not suit your creative style, by all means, IGNORE IT.

Summary
The Fourth Wall is the Audience.
-- Every time the writer addresses their story's audience --their Readers-- they are violating the fourth dimension, or wall, of that story's Reality. Those violations are known as: Author Intrusions.Author Intrusions show up as little comments that express the author's personal feelings on what's happening in their story, or heavily hint at things to come during the story.
Author Intrusions are a Bad Idea.
