I'm so glad you're contributing here now. Your novel My Soul to Keep is amazing, and you have great insight here.

Yes. Changing to a POV that flows natural--WTG! Thanks for sharing.

Your article has come at a perfect time for me. I struggle with POV. I had been writing in third person omniscient and it was not working for me. I have changed the whole novel to first person POV and it flows naturally. I too am a big fan of James Scott Bell.

Denise, show vs tell is a big one that trips all of us from time-to-time. Thanks for reminding us all to watch out for it.

So after writing, I go back to fill-in and break it up so it doesn't read like text. I also need to watch my show vs. tell in descriptions.

Thanks for the welcome, Eldred! Character development's a great strength to have. You may have further to go to improve your pacing, but recognizing your weakness and working on it--I'd say you've got this!

I've been told my greatest strengths are dialogue and character development. In the beginning, my weakest area was probably pacing. I've do a lot to try to improve that over the years, but I'm sure I still have a ways to go!

Thank you for the welcome, Brenda. You are absolutely correct about the first step of correcting them. Sounds like you are on track and improving. Way to go!
