"All is well" can be a great place to start or end a novel, but it's best avoided at every other stage.

RT @Carmunist: The word "salary" comes from the Latin word "salarium," which was a payment made to Roman soldiers in salt.

RT @Carmunist: "Disheveled" comes from Old French "deschevele," which means "having the hair hanging down." It's a hair-raising history!

RT @Carmunist: "Glamour" and "grammar" share the same roots! They both come from the Old Scots word "gramarye," meaning "enchantment, magic."

Have shuffled a few scenes around, and am heartily resisting the urge to go back and edit what I wrote last year.

Have settled on not switching POV at all during this novel, and am instead working out a way to show everything from our intrepid protag's POV.

Also, creepy motorcycle riding demons.

RT @Carmunist: "Many successful and published writers get away with it. Stephen King is one of them. So there is a way to head hop that is at least passable enough to get into print, and yet many readers still cringe when it happens."

RT @Carmunist: "Your writing sample is the true test. A golden query letter won’t save you if agents don’t connect with the voice or if they aren’t quickly immersed in the opening scene."

RT @DarlingReaders: "You will probably have already considered if you want to write a novel that’s plot-driven or character-driven. But what if this doesn’t have to be an either/or choice?"

What drives tension isn't merely risk; it's risk in the face of potential failure--the protagonist *must* take this risk because they have a goal (a need!) that is bigger than the possibility of defeat.

Amazon delivery at lunch. Have to finish 'The Other Black Girl' first, then Jojo Moyes next for my book group, then time to sink into CJ Tudor. I can read her books in a weekend if I have time - real page turners!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

"Destiny does not send us heralds. She is too wise or too cruel for that"

One of my favorite classics 🤎 it would be a five star if not for the 1800s casual racism.

Unique character voices have (probably) been achieved, now back to it. A brief holiday season interlude and one graphic novel mostly written in the meantime, though.
Hoping I can get a fair amount written before I go back to university on the 6th of Feb.

Deciding to publish your own book is a big deal. Choosing self-publishing for the right reasons can help set you up to succeed as an independent author.
