Haven't logged in for a while. Sorry if anyone missed me. Did a few rounds of editing on several books. Looking for betas for a book about a thief going to destroy dragon eggs.

Can't finish any of my other projects... Some of my books never end up with a plot or ending. I've been wanting to write a magical college. This is my third attempt. I'm hoping for the best.

So, in a writing exercise, I rewrote every word of a novel. It went from 79k down to 69k. I think it's tighter.

Alright alright alright.
My brain foreshadows and plans things out I don't even know.
I'm rewriting, like every word on page which isn't a part of my normal process. Then I come across a line that foreshadows three book later. I had forgotten about the line. It's a throwaway line. #amwriting

I have read that your character should go into each scene asking these four questions:
1. What does she go into the scene be believing?
2. Why does she believe it?
3. What's her goal in the scene?
4. What does she expect will happen in this scene?
Thoughts?

That moment when you're editing and you read a passage. Then you read it out loud. Use read along function in Word. Then it all sounds right, but wrong at the same time.

I #amediting and I came across a moment I forgot was in the book. It's a character telling the truth after a month earlier lying about her past. Forgot that it was there. I might be bias, but I love my writing.

I got an interesting piece of feedback from a beta reader. It got me thinking, why is it someone in a teaching role turning down a student ( Not his student, but still a student) weirder than them sleeping together?

I don't know what to say about Dungeon Crawler Carl. LitRPG isn't my genre, but I've managed to get to 30% in on this book.

I'm reading through my November novella. I started it then but it isn't a novel and I don't like to stretch things out. But wow, I can't stop tearing up as I read it out loud. Does anyone else do this?

Do any of your file names or code names end up being wrong?
Like one of my file names is dragonsniper, but there isn't a sniper of dragons or a sniper on the back of a dragon.

I'm self-editing one of my projects. I like the language used. At one point a character says this dialogue.
It was only six versus me. I did not, as one of my instructors said, have that dawg in me.
