Every story has something it's trying to become. I help authors uncover what's missing, strengthen what matters and shape stories readers truly feel.

@nooootzCove What genre do you write?

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

@caj_writes How can I be obsessed with characters from your wip?

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

@celestemcoffman I'd rather find a line and copy editor to take a look at my opening chapters or get the entire submission package assessed.

@HLDocherty Take your 💐

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

You do not need to explain their entire history. I’d look for one concrete detail that makes this moment matter to this particular person.
What does your protagonist stand to lose in your opening scene?

I’d check what the reader has a reason to care about.
A chase can be exciting, but I still want some sense of who is in danger, what they want, or what losing would mean to them.

@LouiseWalters12 Loving this for you💓 What genre do you write?

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

Writing a book looks like 2+2=4 from the outside. From the inside it is that second chalkboard. 😂
Messy, confusing and somehow still worth it. Keep going. 💓

If you are an author, an aspiring author or someone who just simple loves books feel free to say "hi"

@sergecowan It actually depends on the way you want it to go. And that also depends on if you want to remove some scenes that are no longer serving the plot threads or if you need to develop any character. There's no hard and fast rule to that really.

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

@RealRVanDusen Yes, I'm loving the fact that you know what is good for your story. I've seen lots of authors asking others what they think for just about anything in their book. Eventually they don't get to like the story as much as when it goes the way they originally envisioned it.

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

Seriously this😂

[Roberta Indie Author Finds @freeboostpromo]

You know you're a writer when you spend two hours researching something your character needs to know for one sentence nobody will ever question.😬

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

@AuthorGoodwin @NovelistRJones You really should have control over your editor or betas suggestion. That's one of the reasons why my editing comes with tracked changes and annotation for my clients.

@julianreads2 😂

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

@HLDocherty @JeneeDutary Do you have an in house team or an editor you work with? Burnout is real😳

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

It's been a while here. Let's play. First line of your WIP without going to check. Let's go!

@KhristinaChess What's the possible cause of the delay? Revision or edits?

[Susan @the_Scribelle]

@JeremyFoot1977 Good mindset! Loving it for you.
