Although I will miss giving Grammarly such fits that it retreated to a corner to sob uncontrollably.😁
Some of its stuff was just *so* spot-on ironic.

Uninstalled the program from my computer and deleted my #Grammarly account.

Day 9
I love first pages.
Opening lines that are grabbers are a lot of fun (if difficult to bash out!), but the first page that sets the scene for what the reader can expect is even better. 😁

Some symbols in my WIP--a dagger that's more than it seems, magical earrings that assist the wearer--were fun, & developed while writing.
Several motifs--an oppressive government, a cultural divide between two cultures--were planned.

I use a balanced mix of the two. Because sometimes, using 'tell' on a scene would bog the book down with unneccesary info dumping via endless dialogue.
And my books are already waaaay long. 😁😕

Good general advice to follow, except when it comes to a scene-by-scene sequence where the payoff comes much later. But in that case, that scene way back when should do *something* to enrich the plot.

I also consider this 'plugging plot holes'. It's also a great resource for when you get stuck--reread your WIP to find little things/people/events that you can have come back to bite your MC in their butt later on as a BIG problem. 😁

Love these, especially when I can come into a dialogue between characters right smack in the middle.
The trick is getting it to make sense. 😁

Doing the Show & Tell thing with my in-person writing group. So far I've brought The Emotion Thesaurus (the articles at the front are writing GOLD), this time it'll be The Flip Dictionary--I'm always losing words! 🫤

I'll use L2 to introduce a character, but generally hover at L3 & L4 for established characters. I like to shift & get deeper (L5) into the Psychic Distance for more intense, emotional scenes.

This is great advice for finding the *true* start of your novel, but I also use it when switching scenes.
Especially if it puts Jason in a ridiculous situation. 😁
