2. I try to leave out the parts that people skip. ~Elmore Leonard
Don't bore your readers with unnecessary information. If you have "back story" try to weave it into the main plot. Cut out unnecessary adjectives ... we already know she's brave because you told us she protected her children even if it meant losing her life.
