Jane Maree replied to the topic Scene Description Helps in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
@edmund-lloyd-fletcher One great piece of description advice I was once given (which has changed my life) is to go through each of the five senses in each new setting.
It doesn’t have to be all five in every place, but sight, sound, smell are good ones for a room. If it’s something touchable, describing the texture is also good.

@edmund-lloyd-fletcher No worries, I am one of the lucky few who’s accounts were suddenly and quite randomly blocked last week. They’re working on it. 😛

@duskflower I think I’ll have to work out some things–like instead of him having to go to the starlings after he finds God, the starlings check in on him, or maybe they are getting impatient. Then something is misunderstood about him like you and @edmund-lloyd-fletcher reccommended, and badda bing, badda boom, he’s caught up in a huge lie that he…[Read more]

@edmund-lloyd-fletcher Ok, I have posted my notes in the Google Doc at the above link. Hope you have a nice day!

Thank you Dakota. I have been doing the edits I ended up having to do a bit more rewrite than I thought but the book is looking so much better. Thank you.
Would you be interested in having the next section? I will give both parts so you can see what changed if you want to and The next section.
Thanks again for all the help you have given me so far.

Kayla Skywriter replied to the topic Re-introducing Characters? (in a series) in the forum Characters 7 years ago
Hi, just coming at this from a reader’s viewpoint.
I once read this series where the author used the same five paragraphs every time the main character appeared for the first time in a book. The series was nine books long and she never did this for any other character. It was really irritating and pushed me out of the…[Read more]

Ariella Newheart replied to the topic Re-introducing Characters? (in a series) in the forum Characters 7 years ago
Hey, @edmund-lloyd-fletcher! I understand the struggle. There are times when recapping is inevitable, even helpful, but lengthy introductions do tend to drag down the story and make the reader lose interest. Try to find a happy medium. Maybe weave in the details gradually. Even adding a few previously unknown facts could help retain interest in…[Read more]

I’m starting to do some more editing on my major novel again!! I’m kind of excited about it, kind of wishing it was done already, but I’m going to press onward!
At the moment, I’m just brainstorming what to change and how to fix stuff, but hopefully soon I’ll have a proper plan of action in place.
What about you…[Read more]

Awesome! Thanks so much. It will probably take me a little bit before I have a chance to read it all, but I’m excited to check it out. Thanks! 🙂-
Sela have you been able to look at what I gave you? Things have changed a bit in the book if you haven’t and if you are still interested I can give you an updated copy. Let me know

AH, thanks for asking me. I’m sorry. I have not had a chance to read it yet at all, and a lot of things have happened that have kept me crazy swamped. I will still read it asap, but I’m sorry I haven’t gotten to it yet, and I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to. Argh!
