As I go through my novel for editing, I noticed I got carried away with removing adverbs. But what did I do? I replaced them with adverbial clauses, more words. I now have broken the rule of write less. I noted that I have a fixation as using this: "In an instant" instead of using an adverb. The only reason I noticed this was from listening to my novel on my Kindle. So I will do a search for "In an instant".
I downloaded Movie Maker to make a video trailer of my book. This should be fun and challenging at best. I use pictures to help me describe things in my novel.
I am doing some research on males who dress like woman and want to be addressed as a woman. When writing about these characters, do I use the pronoun she or he? So far, most think use the she. I don't want to offend anyone. Brennen has one client like this named Theresa.
Here is Theresa's bed.
I researched a great amount on Russians so now my inbox is full of Russian Mail Order Brides.
I joined a few interesting writing groups. If you are a writer, you may want to check them out.
