#writerscommunity #writerrules #writing #advice #writingtips Rule 7. Edit as you go. Read the last paragraph, better yet, the last chapter you wrote, and fix spelling and grammar. Put a # beside unresolved items to revisit later. Write forward.

#writerscommunity #writerrules #writing #advice #writingtips Rule 6. Every scene must have a purpose. Part of that purpose is to move the plot forward. Read your first draft, identifying 10 scene which do not reach this goal. Fix them.

#writerscommunity #writerrules #writing #advice #writingtips Rule 4. Do not use colons (:) for any reason in fiction. These are operators in computer programming and effect the creation of ebooks. No, I don’t know how they get around this for non-fiction.

#writerscommunity #writerrules #writing #advice #writingtips Rule 3. Grammar matters, so get fresh eyes on your final draft. Put the MS on a new device to read it, email it to yourself, or have WORD read it out loud to you. These tricks all help, but still read it over again.
