Yep, I come across it a lot too. I've not read much of it yet. So far, I've just read the intro in the Kindle sample.

Today I'm looking at 'Who Says? Mastering Point of View in Fiction' by Lisa Zeidner. What POV inconveniences have you wrangled with? How did you get your storytelling back on track? #writingcommunity

"[W]hen it comes to point of view in fiction, consistency is critical. Many of the missteps in early drafts of writing come as a result of an unjustifiable instability in point of view. That is not to say that a work of fiction can't have modulations or crescendos. But such departures have to make sense and serve a purpose, not just be for the convenience of the writer at that particular moment in the storytelling."

Tip Thursday in my writing craft group is about nicknames & terms of endearment and whether they should be capitalised. It features a picture of Jon Cronshaw (author) when I knew him as Placebo Boy. It's got Jim Halpert, aka Big Tuna! Ryan Gosling! What more could you want? Contact me for the link.

Useful advice from Cathy Rentzenbrink in her article 'Reading as a Writer' in The Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2023. #writingcommunity

The most useful way to learn about technique, the nuts-and-bolts stuff, is to look at what other writers do. What point of view have they chosen? How do they handle any time shifts? How have they selected the start and end point of their story? When I get stuck on a point like this, I will look for answers on my bookshelves. If I'm struggling with handling the dialogue when there are lots of characters present, then I'll search out dinner party scenes. At the moment, I'm considering writing a novel that happens largely in flashback, but when I tried this before I found it too hard. This time I am going to reread The Secret History by Donna Tartt, Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier and The Confessions of Frankie Langton by Sara Collins and carefully study exactly how it is done.

Same, Ayesha. I'm going to FantasyCon next month and I couldn't spare the time, energy or funds for two conferences this year, sadly. Feeling well jel of CIEPers now though.

An achievement I'm proud of: In Nov 2021, GJ Kemp reached out for a copyedit, my first word-of-mouth client. Thanks to Francesca Catlow for the referral. 350,000+ edited words later, we're still working together! The snowball started here. ๐Ÿ˜ #writingcommunity#copyeditor#indieauthors#CherryEdits

Claire Cronshaw and Gavin Kemp and six of his books: Almond and the Lanista, Juno and the Lady, Valen and the Beasts, Dr Viktor and the Travelling Circus, Petra and the Sewer Rats, Miles and the Soldier
