One thing...The fictional dream. Love that wording. <br />One thing I've found that I tend to do a lot is change senses. In the same paragraphs. So it'll be like, "I glanced over at him. He's walking over and I giggled hysterically." Don't worry, I didn't pull it out of a manuscript. And hopefully I'm not that bad. But now you know what I'm talking about!emiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042164350910286833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-56377766930386441022012-02-06T23:09:46.151-06:002012-02-06T23:09:46.151-06:00I'll definitely remember this list for when I ...I'll definitely remember this list for when I edit. (When I make it that far.) Things I'd add to the list are: consistency errors, (I often change my mind about facts in the middle of the novel), check that people always have the same names, and check for enough emotions and internalisations, all things I'm really bad at.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746017057593508370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-3909655878031436902012-02-06T16:22:12.683-06:002012-02-06T16:22:12.683-06:00Stephanie, I’m looking forward to meeting you at t...Stephanie, I’m looking forward to meeting you at the next conference.

And apparently (...So glad you're here, Amanda!<br /><br />And apparently (according to Roseanna, anyway) we sat together at ACFW. Not sure how I managed to not notice eating dinner with you! The only explanation I can think of is I was a total airhead that whole night because a friend had asked me to pick up her award if she won, and I was super preoccupied with my fears of tripping and bumbling her speech. (Sadly, she didn't win. And Roseanna learned that she does NOT want to ask me when she's nominated for a Carol....)Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-52696328966688408362012-02-06T10:42:57.543-06:002012-02-06T10:42:57.543-06:00I'll definitely be saving these tips and print...I'll definitely be saving these tips and printing them out.
