Well, they say, write what you know... so...

Done! I'm on substack too so hopefully you'll reciprocate.

Honestly, I cannot believe that man is still alive. He has pissed off enough people, he needs that disgusting combover just to try and hide the ever-growing bullseye on his forehead

I purchased Scrivener 10+ years ago and never looked back. It's incredible for novels (no, I don't work for them) Saves on exit, you can open any chapter instantly without scrolling or waiting for load, has space for notes, character profiles,etc and exportable as print, word, pdf or ebook formats.

Best advice I've been given on this is, let it sit and simmer for at least a month or two before starting into revisions. Just think about it but don't touch it. When you finally do go back into it, read it from start to finish and make notes on what it needs. Then dive in! #writerscommunity

I still write many things in first person although the novel I'm just finishing is a double narrative where one is in first and the other in third. I've written several cnf pieces in second person as well--sometimes it's the only way to deal with a really tough subject.

Often, word counts are lower at the beginning while you're still trying to work out the story and find yourself backtracking, then they ramp up towards the end. Keep chugging! You got this!!!

Best of luck! Make sure you keep a list of what you send where, either a computer spreadsheets or start a note book and be as detailed as possible: whether it was the first chapter, entire mss, date sent, what their response time should be, etc. #amquerying #writingcommunity

Silly autocorrect got me again! Not only did it turn Emma Hooper into Emma Cooper but Caroline Adderson got turned into Anderson! One day I'll learn to do a better check before hitting Enter.....

Sorry to have missed this, was camping on the Island with no cell service, hope to catch the next #TWSOchat

Sill autocorrect and me not wearing my glasses, Emma Hooper not Cooper!!!!!!!!
