You’re 20K words into your MS & you realize the premise feels a little off. Do you: A. Start over B. Go back & revise the first 20K C. Keep writing & deal with it later D. Cry, eat something, and open the MS tomorrow #authorsky #writersky #amediting #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #indieauthors

I prooflisten to audiobooks & caught this mispronunciation: Been pronounced as both “bin” and “bean.” I flagged each instance of “been” so the narrator & author could decide & record the necessary pickups. #authorsky #writersky #amediting #writingcommunity #indieauthors #narrators #audiobooks

Would you rather revise: A character with unclear motivation or A character with an inconsistent personality #authorsky #writesky #amediting #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #indieauthor
