Top 10 Mistakes Writers MakeIn 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 NovelHow 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 writingYou 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 onlineUnprofessional 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.
