Advanced Writing Techniques (part 1)

(CREDITS):

--Written by thewriter197.

--I Wrote this to help me write in more ways.

--There was someone who called me out on my work. It was a potential employer who had more writing experience then me. He knew I was using the same techniques from time to time. He knew it. I do not how he knew but he knew. Only a skilled writer can sense the fact that I been using the same writing techniques for long time. I do need some new ones. I been using the same techniques for a long time. His words annoyed me a bit. Maybe more then a bit.

--So, I decided to make some advanced writing techniques to give me a better edge with my writing and teach me how to write better.

--I will look at these techniques from time to time and add more later. I will put the new stuff I learn in another post.
