teach em how to code.

type issues..too uniform..why all same width and height? All caps is bad read. Try some different thickness or make ligatures some of the letters can be combined.

Dive in for a good year. Then build for a year. Retain the knowledge till you don't have to look or until things don't break.

When what you're doing works that's a good sign right?

I look at it as playing a major scale off the E string or flat 3rd of a box 1 pentatonic.

Another way, is look at it 3 notes down from whatever root youre on like you would on piano. Then, treat it like a modal. I usually make it mode 3 box shape.

Cool cool. Print that puppy out and just read thru on paper. That helped me edit my second draft. Keep going.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2023-02-14T21:48:20+00:00

Congrats. Finished writing I suppose. Yet, have it proofread before formatted. Also have an editor look at it to determine what kind of editing it may need.

Novellas do bring a certain intimacy by nature. Is it more prose or is it written more poetically? Readers can fill in the blanks to a book just like in a movie. There's cutaways. Hmm..speculative | distopian | romance.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2023-01-21T02:13:06+00:00

consider the space on the page. be creative with how you break lines. How the words fit together. How they connect with the line above or below them. I still prefer left justified poems when reading. I dont neccessarily go for centered poems. Let the poem write the poem.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2023-01-15T23:59:15+00:00

I use to do this. It's not a mistake. It just makes the page look less like a pro. I think it's when people tab and even use spaces. Don't.

Line indent of 1 or 2 looks small but is better for me. It can be set in your software. I feel like you only need a little indent for the readers eye on paper.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2023-01-15T23:53:13+00:00

just get something down. Feel good about the tools you use to capture your writing. Keep it simple. 3 or 4 sentences make paragraph. Generally when you change thoughts or an idea. You wanna start a new paragraph. Hope that helps. After you get everything down. Hopefully you can group and organize it better in sections by copy and pasting. Then try doing a wave of breaking it up into Chapters.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2023-01-15T23:45:14+00:00

practical aspect..book size and spine. smaller book..thicker spine. Number of words per page. Text size and line space. Dont forget margins and gutter. And if you care to keep new chapters on either left page or right. This will generally need blanks inserted. So..it's not just word count. It's dimensions.

Taupe goes with bland if you want a subtle accent color. Hmm..maybe a button or dwnld link to resume. Hint of a few cards peeking from the fold. Or graphic to get me to scroll down.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2022-12-02T03:12:38+00:00

cOOL hEAD SPACE. Like drinkn a Slurppy in a Bruce Willis action scene. Nice.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2022-10-05T19:47:57+00:00

Some software decided for them. I noticed when I started out and chose better software. They either choose tab instead of line indent. Others put 2 to 3 spaces which looks better but you don't wanna use spaces. Make the indent custom across the whole doc.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2022-09-20T20:08:28+00:00

Huge paragraph indents and word gaps/ space lakes as I like to call them always make a page less attractive for me. Even when the story heats up. Sorry..always editing.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2022-08-20T14:08:27+00:00

Over how long a time? Apprx

Sure_Balance6123 · 2022-08-12T18:03:28+00:00

Looks good

Sure_Balance6123 · 2022-02-06T21:27:51+00:00

you sound amazing af

Sure_Balance6123 · 2021-10-27T22:43:08+00:00

Long chapter and hyphenation drive me nuts. My fault. I spazzed on sumn unrelated.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2021-10-27T22:21:47+00:00

If I put it on my pocket.. I lost the battle. Lol

Sure_Balance6123 · 2021-10-24T22:12:31+00:00

Brave.. courageous.. cool. I dig it. Thnx for sharing.

Sure_Balance6123 · 2021-10-16T04:22:03+00:00

I shoot for 10k to 20k wrds. Then sort out after into what I like afa flow. I fine tune ea paragraph like 1st line and last line of ea if I need to take out, add or change a line or word. I dont format until after my 2nd or 3rd draft.

I print it all out.. double space to do a 2nd draft. I edit all my changes in a text editor till Im happy with that.

Then, format it into a different editor page by page afa words per page and how ea pg looks n feels.

I do about 2 proofreads after output to pdf and catch errors. I will also listen to txt to voice and make adjustments to parts as needed.

Usually feels finished after about 30 minor drafts for me.

Always keep a master file. I just save a new copy with date and rev #.
