Don't just write.get animated! Tuesday, April 2, 2013. Did you do your homework? Though it is FINALLY spring LOL, kids are still in school, and I have to make note that this is a good reminder to authors in general.especially newer authors. Don't forget to do your homework! This is a good life lesson, and especially in the publishing industry. Study your craft constantly. Learning never stops (even for editors :) ). Can you do what is asked of you in the general form? And I'll let you in on a secret, tho...

The same can be said for a manuscript. Shaping is crucial to a story, and cutting lines, paragraphs, scenes that slow down the pace can make your manuscript that much tighter, brighter and engaging. Stacy D. Holmes. Thursday, January 24, 2013. This is a question I get a lot:. First, and most important, do your homework. If th...

Don't just write.get animated! Thursday, June 13, 2013. Well, actually I don't.and that is often a major problem. I can't stress enough how important it is to PROOF your manuscript before you submit. The hard part is that being so close to the work, it is easy to miss the simple errors like turned quotes or two periods or misspelled words that look similar to the original word, ie: 'maent' instead of 'meant'. A few tricks of the trade:. D) Read the story out loud. Yes, the simple action of verbalizin...

Do you think it's best to limit most stories to two POV characters? Yes, MOST times it is best to keep stories to two POVs. This makes for an easier read and allows the reader time to become invested in the two main characters and their journey- for instance, in a romance, staying to two POVs keeps the reader emotionally invested in the HEA for these two characters.

Don't just write.get animated! Thursday, March 7, 2013. Today’s question comes from Sarah H.:. I would like to know why romance is never written in first person POV with the exceptions of The Outlander series and The Twilight series. First person stories are an interesting breed as the interest in them is really about 50-50. Some readers enjoy them and others don’t. For those that do, there are quite a lot out there and I asked a few of my friends and fellow editors for some titles:. And Bared to You.
