🤣 They told me I was too edgy for them !

Came across.this a while.back. g Bimgo

I think it is yet another way for the organisers and writers to promote themselves to gain followers which seems.to be a big.part of using twitter nowadays.

Oh, yes 🤣 I think that is a potential issue I may have. I tinker with my work too much.

I have recently been talking to a colleague within the church who presents a 'God podcast' series. He interviews well known Christians about their faith & issues in the news. It got me thinking about if there might be milages in my doing something similar but with writers. I know that there...

Agreed. Sometimes it can be hard to take but often there is truth in it. My writing would be so.much the poorer.for not taking on board critiques.of my work..

Thank you every one. There is some really helpful info and advice. I agree about keeping sentences short for action scenes and not describing every single thing to the reader. So I guess - as I thought - it is a judgement call but the info/advice you have given has helped me sharpen up how I...

Great article @Rachael Jack. I like the way the writer balances the use of against the need to avoid. I suspect the art of discernment when to use adjectives and adverbs is the trick I need to learn.

How do you diceide which adjectives to use and which to keep.or bin? I know the general rule is that you.should use them sparingly. But removing all seems to me to make your writing very flat. Any thoughts?

Writing a series but working on 2.MS.

Wow. You watched it. Thanks. Yeah, I got the feeling they were going for the.entertainment vote by all their references to me being a vicar. Need to do something about that. I agree with the YA label. Not my preference. Just gone through and cut of some of the adjective. The pitch has since...

Well that was an experience! The session went er, bad - One of the panel got up and went off screen - which I thought was rude given they had sat through the others. Didn't apologies for it or give a reason so based on his comment I guess he wasn't a fan. The other members of the panel were OK...

Congratulations Paul. Now.put in a drawer and leave it to mature for few weeks. You need to give tourself space before you start revising and editing.

Interesting thread. Thanks for the advice Wes and Lynn. This is something I have started to think about for myself. Not that I have anything to publish at the moment.

Thanks @lynnmosher. I think Angtha might be a little to young but I will look up the others. 👍

I had a 1-2-1 with my editor today. We looked at my pitch for BROKEN TRUST which begins with: Kate Bruckholder meets Nancy Drew in this YA/NA coming-of-age suspense story set in the sleepy town Blossom Hill where Amish and English live peacefully side by side. She liked it but felt that Nancy...

Ages ago submitted the first 700 words of JUDAS to Litopia for their weekly youtube show 'pop-up submissions.' (I sent them a revised, updated version as it had been several months since submitting it) This coming Sunday it get critiqued by their panel of agents/publishers. YIKES! The show is...

If you are going to spend money on getting feedback get a developmental editorial assessment instead.

Good idea

What a nerve. I can't imagine how I would feel if someone nicked my work. Gutted is not adequate.
