RE: Cruel and Unusual - serialised novel EXCLUSIVE to Steemit
Hey, thanks for reading and commenting.
My secret is that I try to make my work the very best it can be. I don't write direct to Steemit, I write in a word doc first and go over it all a couple of times, checking for spelling, syntax and absolutely anything that may bring down the quality of my writing.
I've found it's a good habit to get into.
I've taken a look over your blog and I hope you can take this as constructive criticism - there are a couple of typos (ingenious and 'si' rather than 'is').
Personally, I'm one of those writers who sits down at the computer and the story arrives, usually carried by my characters. I don't plot or plan and I can be as surprised as my readers - I call that a bonus.
Take your time, read it out loud if you need to (it really does help).
I've followed you and upvoted your blog :)
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate any criticism, I see it as the only way to get better really. Every criticism is constructive if looked at the right way.
Also I just wanna say how fascinating every writers approach is, since each one is just ever so slightly different from the others.
Thanks again, and keep writing!
Thank goodness for that! I've been invited to critique for writers before and some simply do not want to see criticism as a way of improving. Personally, I welcome criticism (as long as it's not 'author-bashing') and I too look upon it as the only way to improve my writing.
