@AwdaTM I really enjoyed your Superman video. It's always nice to hear another person share why they think he's such a special character. Keep up the great work.
At this point, we'll be lucky if @alyankovic is clear enough that he's a parody for @elonmusk not to ban him.
If you can't buy thicker skin with all that money, what's it good for?

#EditingTip
When self-editing its best to do separate passes for:
1. Plot & Structure
2. Characters/arcs
4. Flow
5. Grammar
What rounds do you perform or combine? Or do you edit while you write?
#WritingCommunity#AmWriting
Don’t underestimate your readers’ intelligence.
You don’t need to explain everything. Hit & reveal at pivotal moments through characters' words & actions.
Your readers will thank you for it.

Rules, rules, rules😠
Even when you're writing fantasy/sci-fi, you need to stick to your rules.
Consistency=believability!
Style sheets are the cheapest way keep track.

Reading your MS aloud helps you find grammar issues, missing/repetitive words/phrases/info.
We don't skip/fill in words & we identify confusing sentences easier.
Do you read aloud? Use different voices?

Needless to say...
If it's needless to say, why say it?
Keep your writing concise by removing filler words and phrases, like:
I mean, I said, um, not to mention, a bit, a little, of them, just, even, that, needless to say. 🤣

You enjoy a break from the action, right?
So do your characters.
Giving them time to attend to wounds, make a plan, regroup, lets your readers process & guess the characters next move.
What do you do on break?

POV
Might seem obvious, but it’s tricky.
But there are limitations to 1st & 3rd which need to be adhered to.
If the character can’t see, hear, smell, feel, taste, or know it, the narrator can’t either.

"I love your edits! My book now reads like one I would buy at a bookstore."
During a chat with an author after my edits, they gave me this compliment.
I don't expect compliments, but my goal is to achieve exactly this.
A happy author, and a great novel.
