As writers, we hear it all the time. We need to "write tight," which just means we need to trim all the flab from our manuscripts and make every word count.
Here are some self-editing tips that will help you "write tight" and take your manuscripts from flabby to fit for publication in no time!
1. Avoid a lot of back story - information about the POV character's history and background. Weave all this into the story instead of loading the manuscript down with too many sentences or paragraphs of straight narrative before the action begins.
2. Simplify your sentences wherever possible. Watch for redundant or unnecessary phrases. As writers, we need to "show, not tell" as often as possible. Yet, some writers tend to show and then tell the same information, which is redundant. Watch out for this in your manuscripts. Also, look for the redundant phrases below and others like them.
Stand up = stand
Sit down = sit
Turned back = turned
Turned around = turned
He thought to himself = He thought.
She shrugged her shoulders = she shrugged
She whispered softly = she whispered
He nodded his head = he nodded
3. Avoid adverbs for the most part. Use strong, descriptive verbs instead.
Flabby: She smiled slightly at the photographer.
Fit: She grinned at the photographer.
4. Avoid using the same word over and over in a paragraph. Go back and reread each sentence. Have you repeated the same word several times within a single sentence or paragraph? If so, substitute another word with the same meaning.
5. Don't overuse names. Beginning writers tend to have the characters address each other by name too often. When you speak to a friend, you don't constantly say his name. Don't have your characters do this either. It doesn't ring true, and it draws the reader OUT of the story.
6. Limit the description in a dialogue tag. Again, beginning writers tend to load down the dialogue tags (the "he said, she said," part of the dialogue) with too many details. If you must describe what a character is doing AS he says something, put that information in a separate sentence, not in the dialogue tag. And keep it short.
7. Avoid participle phrases - particularly at the beginning of sentences. Participle phrases end in the letters -ing. Go back over every page of your manuscript and circle the places where you've started a sentence with a participle phrase. If your manuscript is loaded down with participle phrases it tends to distract the reader and pull him out of the story.
8. No idle chit-chat. Be sure the dialogue advances the storyline. Readers don't need to hear the characters talking about anything that doesn't somehow relate directly to what's happened so far or what will happen next or later in the story.
9. Minimize use of the passive voice. Here's an example of passive voice: The ball was hit by Susan.
Here's the same information in active voice: Susan hit the ball.
10. Use active, descriptive verbs.
Flabby: I was the one who made the decision to go home.
Fit: I decided to go home.
Strengthen weak verbs. You can usually eliminate was and were by replacing them with stronger, more descriptive verbs. Usually, was and were precede an -ing word, and you can change the -ing word to make it stronger.
Flabby:He was talking to my brother.
Fit: He talked to my brother.
11. Minimize use of the verb "to be" to keep the word count down.
Flabby: She is a graceful dancer.
Fit: She dances gracefully.
12. Cut the verb preceding an infinitive if it's not needed.
Flabby: She was able to fix the bicycle.
Fit: She fixed the bicycle.
13. Avoid using the word that when you don't need it. Reread each sentence that includes that, then read the sentence without that. If it sounds all right without it, cut it.
Also, avoid other crutch words we tend to rely on yet don't add much to the story. Other crutch words include just and really. The word suddenly should be used as infrequently as possible. Otherwise, it tends to sound as if your characters are constantly jumping around.
14. Watch for pet words or phrases you tend to favor without even realizing it. Common words like then, as, and when tend to get overused often.
15. Avoid stall phrases that slow down the action for no good reason. Phrases such as: tried to, began to and started to can be changed to the simple paste tense of the verb.

Unique Mens Rings
Let's face it, guys; we all look for ways to differentiate ourselves from one another. We may not be into fashion or hairstyles, but we all make a personal statement with the cars we drive, our taste in women, and our favorite sports, movies and books. Even the type of cell phone we carry can be a means of self-expression Maybe this explains why unique men's rings are being purchased in record numbers.
Why are unique men's rings so popular?
First of all, they don't cost nearly as much as that fancy sports car and they can be a far more personal way of conveying one's individuality and style. Unique men's rings help guys identify with their favorite pastimes, celebrate their national heritage, or tell the world they've found their "endless love". With so many unusual styles to choose from, men are finding that there is a fashionable and unique men's ring to match every interest and lifestyle.
Let's take a look at some popular styles of unique men's rings:
Biker Rings are as indispensable to an avid motorcyclist as his favorite leather jacket. They are available in oversized "skull and crossbones" designs, in rings that resemble bike chains, and adorned with snakes, eagles and chains.
Men's Carbon Fiber Rings incorporate a black or gold textural carbon fiber inlay with a tungsten, titanium or stainless steel band for a truly unique men's ring.
Spinner Rings have really caught on, and are now available in numerous styles. Favorites include an interesting five-band spinner ring where each slender stainless steel band rotates independently. Men can also select spinner rings from nearly every category of men's fashion rings, including Celtic rings, Christian rings, and many other popular designs.
Men's Sweetheart Rings have also become quite popular for men who want to wear a ring that expresses their love. Women love to buy these sweetheart rings for their fiancés as an engagement gift too. Some bestsellers include a stainless steel band with the word "Forever" printed on a black enamel surface plate, and a stainless steel fashion ring with the words "Endless Love" lasered onto the polished face.
Some of the most unique men's rings utilize industrial metals like tungsten carbide, stainless steel, or titanium. Black ceramic and black stainless steel can also be a striking backdrop for several spectacular designs.
Whether you are looking for a spinner ring, commitment ring, biker ring or another unusual style, chances are there is a fashionable and unique men's ring that will express your personal style.
