http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and today we'll be talking about what book editors hate a piece of advice every writer should follow is to hire a professional editor to go through their work once they have completed their book however to actually prepare your manuscript for that stage it's a good idea to be aware of the common pitfalls that writers fall into and if you know what editors hate you can make their lives easier and save you time and money too not only is it good to look out for and fix the mistakes that editors hate before you send your book to them but also for when you send your book to publishers and agents if you want them to seriously consider your work checking that you have already eliminated any of these editors bugbears from your book before you send it off will give you a much better chance of success so what is it that editors hates let's take a look no basic grasp of grammar or spelling if every second word is a spelling mistake and every sentence is punctuated incorrectly it's going to take a huge effort and many hours to get through your book this will mean editors have less time to concentrate on structure character development and plot elements which is important to receive feedback on do yourself a favor and run your manuscript through a spelling and grammar check before you pass it on to an editor huge passages focusing on backstory having backstory is a useful device for establishing your characters and allowing the readers insight into their past lives however if you focus too much on backstory both the editor and the reader will get bored include details that are relevant and necessary cut the rest out an entire chapter where the character is walking somewhere driving somewhere or sitting in bed reminiscing an excellent book will be fast paced and full of action if the character spends too much time getting somewhere or reminiscing about something this slows down the pace of your book a pet peeve of editors melodrama making your story overly dramatic and make it seem farcical and unbelievable readers need to buy into your story to believe it editor's know that and so should you making the same point over and over again if you draw out a point laboriously or repeat it in different ways over and over again it simply looks like you're trying to hit a word count rather than write a story that appeals to your readers you say something well you only need to say it once going into too much detail creativity is all about having poetic license and beautiful descriptions can be really effective in a book and enhance your story significantly however when you spend an entire paragraph describing a vase in your character's living room it better seriously be significant otherwise you need to cut it down over writing is a big no-no for editor silly inconsistencies when you are editing and redrafting your novel look out for inconsistencies these can be anything from where character is standing to the time of year inconsistencies are easy to make but will frustrate your editor as these should be picked up by you repetitive vocabulary if you continuously use the same descriptive word this will quickly get tiresome for your readers try to be unique and exciting with all of your descriptions if you know you've overused a word try doing a Find and Replace search of your manuscript so you can easily pick these up and change them long passages of dialogue dialogue creates immediacy can drive the action forward and reveals more about your characters however don't turn every piece of dialogue into a massive speech or monologue use it as a device to break up the narrative instead telling rather than showing editors hate it when you tell the reader something rather than showing them comb through your novel and pick up instances of when you're doing this this will save your editor having to point them all out for you if you can go through your manuscript before you send it to an editor agent or publisher and look out for these 10 things you make their and your lives so much easier so make sure you take the time to edit your book first thoroughly and you'll find you get so much more out of your editor and are more likely to have a positive response from a publisher too don't forget if you're having a hard time writing or finishing your book check out our free writers toolkit it can help you overcome procrastination get

hello there is Peter here again from Writer's life and today past all present tense the pros and cons when creating any new piece of writing selecting the tense in which to write is often something and also struggles with not longer your writing in the past tense was strongly favored and particularly with works of fiction it was very rare to find a novel written in the present tense however in recent years this has changed and we have seen a shift to the present tense with some writers believing that writing using the past tense makes the work itself seem somehow old-fashioned so what has made the past tense increasingly unpopular and the present tense now the tense of choice well it seems for most seasoned writers it's an instinctive and natural decision however for many novice writers this is just another choice to fret over so it's important to understand what they have Vantage's and disadvantages of each might be so here we've broken these down so authors can make an informed choice when deciding which tends to write in so first the present tense the prose present tense creates immediacy in a way that the past tense cannot it allows the reader to experience changes in the story and changes to its characters as they happen this creates a bond between the reader and characters as they experience things together simultaneously therefore tension suspense and drama can be more easily calm vade characters become more lifelike and tangible and real and selecting the present tense when describing a character truly reflects their nature drawing the reader closer to them the use of the present tense also reflects the overall theme of the book if your book tells the story of events that happened to your main character in the past but he or she tells them in the present tense the effect can be very powerful simply by telling the events in this way the author is hinting at a past that is very much part of the narrator's presence and perhaps will always be so using the present tense in your work also simplifies how we use the other tenses in the story when writing in the past tense is slightly that a writer will dip in and out of the other 12 tenses that we use in the English language however using the present tense restricts our use of the others with the majority of stories written in the present tense only using the simple present the present progressive and occasionally the simple past and simple future even then the majority of the writing is likely to be kept in the simple present this simplicity can be used cleverly to the writers advantage conveying clear ideas and allowing the reader to fully immerse themselves in the story with no confusion about when the events took place and now the present tense the comments if employing the present tense in our writing we become restricted with how we can describe time try to manipulate a sequence of events or change the chronological order will be difficult and potentially confusing to the reader the point of the present tense is to tell a series of events as they unfold if you don't want to evoke the feeling that what you are writing is happening now then the present tense is not a good choice building a multi-layered characters is more of a challenge if you use the present tense because you can no longer influence the order of events or the duration it's difficult to put across the characters own personal experience of the time how they understand the past the more context we have for a character the more we are able to understand them and their motivations for why they are a certain way now without the kind of context flashbacks into the past there is a risk of the characters committeth across as tediously uncomplicated suspense is harder to convey with a story written in the present tense the protagonists of a present tense story don't have any idea what is going to happen to them from one moment to the next and subsequently neither does the reader tension and suspense come from having that knowledge knowing that something is about to happen whether the protagonist is aware of it or not finally if we are not careful use of the present tense can cause us to be sloppy while the past tense allows us to write selectively and only include necessary plot advancing details using the present tense more naturally encourages inclusion of mundane irrelevant details because such events will happen in a natural sequence of time before beginning any work it is worth thinking about which tense will best suit your story each have their own advantages which if use Cleverley could enhance your work whatever you do make sure you pick wisely as it's certainly not an easy job to go back and change when you are halfway through your book and don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to write and finally get that

hello its Peter here again from Writer's Life and today how to write useful a chapter outlines writing chapter outlines can be an incredibly helpful way of staying organized and motivated to write your story many writers choose to write chapter outlines before they begin their book doing so means they can see for sure that their story will work it's a more detailed overview of the plot down and how to ensure that each chapter drives the story forward so what sort of things are useful to include in a chance at outline let's take a look first focus on the key plot points remember while your chunks are our lines should be thorough you also want to keep it succinct focus on the key events that will take place at the chapter note down the action points and make sure they fit into your story as a whole next describe how your character feels at the beginning and the end take some time to think about how your character is feeling at the beginning of each chapter and how the events that take place throughout it change them remember your character should always be growing and changing so make sure that you take their emotions into account and next how does each chapter flow to and from the next each of your chapters should fit seamlessly into your story and flow from one to the other when creating your chapter outline is to make sure they fit into your overall plot if they feel disjointed ask yourself if they are really Ness does your chapter start and end in a way that grips the reader make sure that every chapter in your book is gripping it should start by immediately drawing the reader in and immersing them in the scene and should end in such a way that they want to keep on turning those pages next how does the chapter advance the story each chapter needs to have a purpose by the time the reader has finished the chapter the story should have moved on if the chapter doesn't advance a story it might need a revision or removal from the book altogether remember to review your chapter outlines frequently chapter outlines shouldn't be rigid they need to be flexible as when you begin to write your story you could end up going on a different track and that's okay just make sure you review your chunks and outlines while you were writing your book and prepare to change them if necessary spending time and making an effort to write chapter outlines that are really useful can make all the difference when you begin to write your novel providing structure and allowing you to see your story as a whole so whether you're just starting out or even if you are halfway through writing your novel consider using chapter outlines to help you write more efficiently and make sure your story stays on the right track now don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to write and finally get your book published to get access now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit that's it for now be sure to like this video and subscribe to our Channel I'll see you next timeHow to Approach Blogger for Reviews - WritersLife.org
