This presentation is about elevating the efficacy of your writing process, without asking you to change it. In doing that, the focus isn't on process, per se; rather, this session focuses on the outcome of your process, framed as element-specific target criteria.

In the mystery and thriller genres especially, audiences have specific expectations, as well as a high bar. While a story may emerge organically for the writer, rare is the story that ticks off the requisite boxes at that early stage. There are craft-specific strategies to help you meet the criteria for an effective mystery or thriller, regardless of whether you are a pantser (an organic story developer) or a plotter/planner/outliner. The criteria, and the desired outcome, are exactly the same.

Experienced authors understand that the criteria for the first part of a novel are very different than the middle or the end (which al also unique, criteria-wise). But even that is overly simplistic. This presentation reduces the core bones of an effective mystery or thriller down into specific elements and essences, giving you context for the creative decisions you must make within each of them.

Half the battle is won at the story-idea stage, and how that translates into a complete - and completely functional - dramatic premise. There are specific criteria for this, which frame the efficacy the parts and parcels that emerge from that premise.

You may have studied the basics before now. This presentation is a deeper dive into what makes bestsellers out of otherwise pedestrian story ideas, and what makes career-authors out of those who still seek the nuances and true purpose of the craft principles that can unlock the highest potential of the work.

Nice, but easily chewed apart.
My dog loves it, but needs supervision because he can bit off bits. He's a small dog with little teeth.

JAYU PET Toothbrush Toy Dog Chew
The JAYU PET Toothbrush Toy Dog Chew is pretty cool. I used my toy poodle’s favorite toothpaste and he had a hard time really getting into the grooves. This seems like a good idea and it’s hit or miss with anything like this. My dog loved it more and tried harder when I used peanut butter. I just end up having to clean o it the grooves as he can’t get to it all. Big breeds might do better, but this is cute and could work.

Highly Recommend for Aggressive Chewers!
I recently purchased the JAYU PET Toothbrush Toy Dog Chew Toy, and it has exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for dog chew toys that are both durable and functional, this is a great choice. My dog is an aggressive chewer, and this toy has held up extremely well without breaking or wearing down. What I love most is how it helps clean my dog’s teeth while chewing. The textured design removes plaque and tartar naturally during playtime. It’s much easier than brushing my dog’s teeth manually, and my dog actually enjoys using it. This dog dental toy is perfect for small and medium dogs and keeps them busy for long periods, which helps reduce boredom and destructive behavior. It’s sturdy, safe, and clearly designed with dental health in mind. Overall, this is one of the best dog chew toys I’ve purchased—durable, engaging, and great for maintaining my dog’s oral hygiene. I will definitely be buying another one!

Not for aggressive chewers
My 14 pound puppy chewed a big chunk out within 30 minutes. Would not recommend if you have a dog that likes to tear into things
