I'm finishing up research for a new book I hope to have a rough draft for next year. The story will be based off of some things I had written in a notebook a few moons back. Think supernatural tentacles into the present day from people in the past (or vice-versa).
Finishing off my breather after refining my query. Onto perfecting the synopsis, then onto sending the manuscript out again. Oh, and writing Book 3 starts in January. Oh, the toils.
@EdenMae69298190 said or asked can be said commonly. I try as much as possible to keep adjectives / adverbs away from dialogue tags. (Think of italicization - Let the dialogue describe).
@recoverednow Personally, I can never final edit (after the different iterations of previous self edits / pro edits of my manuscipts). I am such a perfectionist that every time I read my work, I correct... I let someone else do the final edit, or even a read, then leave it.
@authorajmiller One accomplishment has nothing to do with the other. Being a creator is always the BEST accomplishment. Keep going! (if not on paper, mentally, spiritually, enrichment).
