Can’t stop. Won’t stop. ✋
But PLEASE work with an editor so you can stop doing these things:
👉 excessive dialogue tags - “Stop it,” she said angrily.
👉 comma misuse! (Over comma-ing, under comma-ing, no comma in dialogue!)
👉 clichés(we’ve heard ‘em all before…. See what I did there? 🙃) “Her heart pounded like a drum.” 😴
👉 crazy conjunctions (never ending sentences, for example !)
👉 plot holes 🕳️ (what TF happened to the baby after that 11 month pregnancy!? 🤰 😂)
👉exposition dumps → Chapter one opens with three pages describing the history of everything that happened in your life. We. Want. Action! And NOW!
💕 You don’t have to be an expert at this stuff. Just hire someone who can help you sort it out. Also: self review! ###
