Thanks, Deborah. These are great tips. I love the running gag touch. Reminds me of George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life” and how perturbed he got every time he touched the knob at the bottom of the stair banister and it would come loose. Those kind of details enrich a story.
Great example, Lynn. I didn’t remember that.
