About 1/2 the things freelancers and new publishers ask me about I have already covered in one of my #WritingBasics articles on my blog. So if you want to get my thoughts on a number of professional topics, that's a great place to start. https://t.co/271QKMXVNN #NotesfromanRPGDev

As James Gray noted, there is more to outline a book than just how many words it'll hold. I wrote a blog post about some of those concerns. #NotesfromanRPGDev https://t.co/Z5bgxlzeJw

When agreeing to write a project with an outline, read the outline carefully first. If you have questions of concerns, talk to your developer about them immediately. Don't make changes to the outline without approval. Don't try to sneak something past your dev. #NotesfromanRPGDev

Also ask what direction they want the text to go in. Paizo and a lot of established writers have frequently used an “olde RPGese” style that tends to be overwrought and unexciting. It becomes limiting, so see if you’re allowed to break the mold. #NotesfromanRPGDev

If you're trying to match a company's style when writing for them, look at recent products. Company tone and philosophy change over time. If you think you have a good reason to do things like "the good old days," check with your developer before you start. #NotesfromanRPGDev

If there's an important reason you did something, such as basing an option's balance off a previous similar thing already in print, leave a comment saying so using the program's editing tool. Your dev can't read your mind. #NotesfromanRPGDev

If you are writing for a ttRPG, and the outline calls for one topic to be 750 words, and a second to be 250 words, it is absolutely not "just as good" to do 500 words for each. That makes both sections wrong, so you a total of 500 words off, not on-target. #NotesfromanRPGDev
