Three Editing Links To Help Out
March 5th 2010 12:38
Every week for the rest of this month, I'm going to post either three or five links to good articles about editing fiction, in the hopes that you'll find the information useful or at least interesting. I still haven't made a final list of websites, so if you have a link you think should be listed in one of the posts this month, please send me an email at diannalgunn@gmail.com.
On to the links for this week!
~Ten Editing Tips For Your Fiction MSS a list of tips, some of which I think are great points and some of which I don't know if I like.
~Writerisms and Other Sins: A Writer's Shortcut to Stronger Writing is a really interesting article talking about a few mistakes writers commonly make, particularly about words that many writers overuse.
~Experience Versus Information a blog post discussing one of the points made in Self-Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King. Great thoughts in the post and interesting conversation in the comments as well.
Remember that just as when you're reading anything about the writing process, what works for one writer might not work for another. It depends partially on what genre you're writing in, and largely on what kind of writer you are and what exactly your manuscript looks like at this point. These are just articles to give you ideas when trying new editing techniques over the next month.
That's all for today. Here's hoping for a productive weekend.
