If you've queried a publisher or literary agent and they say they want to acquire your book, but that there's a small editing fee or publishing fee... RUN.
That's 100% a scam.
Legitimate literary agents or publishers do not charge the authors anything.

I'm opening up two extra editing slots in October to cover the cost of car repairs. If you need an editor, help with a query, or a writing coach to help you finish the novel you're working on - hire me!

She was supposed to smile now. Supposed to keep all those memories locked away before they got her killed.
Smile.
SMILE.
Rowena forced her lips to curve up as old wounds seeped poison into her mind and her heart beat against her ribs.

I'll be honest, a lot of the struggle with writing the first draft of a scene with Big Emotions is just screaming in your own head in a small panic as you try to get coherent words on the page.
Books are hard to write.

Start with lower stakes and then escalate as the book progresses. Forcing the characters to choose between their original goal and a new one creates the friction of indecision that you can use to power the plot.

Writing books takes longer than some people think. The reason your favorite author is talking about a book they're finishing that doesn't come out until next year is that they are going through edits and setting up promotions.

If you are in the Malik System & someone from the Fleet asks if you want to "hit the mats" for training, that's a date. They are 100% hitting on you. Don't pull your punches, and remember it's not a bad thing to be on the bottom.

Why are there typos in professionally published books?
Because the average novel is 75,000 - 100,000 words. It is almost impossible to get perfection when you have 75,000 chances to make a mistakes. And spellcheck can't tell the difference between Here and Hear.

It is super important to set small goals when writing a novel and not push past them. Trying to write 10k a day is a fun experiment, but not sustainable in the long term. If you want a career you need to be able to set small goals and keep them small.

My April editing client is rescheduling so I am offering a 10% coupon to anyone booking an April edit so I can fill this slot. I can take your novel on April 6th and the edits will be done by the first week of May unless the novel is over 100k.

I use social media as my watercooler for everything from industry news to local weather alerts. I want a place where I can chat with friends about the latest Kdrama while browsing the news, checking the sales ads for my local grocery, talking about my books, and hearing about a cool festival happening in the next province this weekend.
Mastodon is too isolated for what I like, but what I like overwhelms a lot of people.

Writing Tip Of The Day: If you're planning to publish it helps to have a file where you can drop pull quotes into. While you're editing grab the lines that stand out to you so you can use them for promo later. #LianaEdits #PubTip #Publishing #AmWriting

Getting outside and looking at trees is a really good way to reduce your stress and boost your dopamine.
If you can, take five minutes to get outside today and enjoy nature.
