Top 10 Mistakes Writers Make
In the time that I have been critiquing manuscripts, I have seen the same mistakes made over and over by different writers. Here are the top ten.

Creating an At-a-Glance Outline in Your Novel
How to use your word processing software to pull together an automatic outline of your novel using individual chapter summaries. Additionally, jump directly from your outline to any specific point in your novel.

Formatting tricks for easier planning and writing
You can use the formatting features of your word processing program to make your writing life easier by automatically updating chapter headings and creating an outline of each chapter.

Professional author behaviour online
Unprofessional behaviour can ruin your reputation as an author. Ensure that you are ready to present the best side of yourself even when you're hidden behind your computer and a seemingly anonymous Internet username.

Give yourself a writing performance evaluation
Where are you in your writing career? What are your goals for the next few years? Are you just starting out, or have you been writing for many years? Have you reached your dream of being a full time writer? Keep yourself on track by scheduling a regular writing performance assessment.
