#pennedpossibilities 322 โ What piece of advice, as an author, did you once receive but hadnโt followed? Looking back on it now, you might wish that you had.
Don't switch POV in a scene.
Cocky young me thought, pffff, I can do that, who cares!
It took me weeks later on to fix the issue after I realized what that does to the reader.
@ringles I know, I grew up with these stories. But it needs to be done carefully so not to give the reader whiplash - and let's just say, I wasn't that good back then ๐
#writerscoffeeclub May 21. Do you format as you write or do that at the end?
The minute I know that something will be longer than just a scene, I do basic formatting. I'm writing in word, and it simply makes it easier to navigate the document if I've got headers, parts, and so on.
However, I do the final formatting for ebook, PB and HC only once I'm done. They differ too much, so it's 3 different docs in the end.
Hat jemand einen Hinweis darauf, dass amrun-verlag.de gehackt sei und auf Werbung weiterleitet? Ich habe einen Leserinnenhinweis darauf, finde aber selber nichts, dass etwas kaputt sei ๐ค
Womรถglich ist das Problem auf der Melderinnenseite?
#writerscoffeeclub 24-05-19. Do you agree with Hillary Mantell, who said the best qualities for writing are self-confidence and a little arrogance?
"The most helpful quality a writer can cultivate is self-confidence - arrogance, if you can manage it. You write to impose yourself on the world, and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you."
A little arrogance is ok, be mindful to not become a petunia of pretensionous
She also said something I think is even more fundamental.
"Write a book you'd like to read. If you wouldn't read it, why would anybody else? Don't write for a perceived audience or market. It may well have vanished by the time your book's ready."
