How many drafts should you go through before you finish your book? And what draft should you send your developmental editor? Is rewriting or revision the answer? And how should you analyze that work in progress in order to find it’s flaws?
Alida discusses pet words and how they can damage your prose. The answer? Kill them. Kill them all…but two.
Alida discusses two often-used phrases you should avoid. They’re trite, hackneyed, and at this point, cringe-worthy. Watch & take the pledge!
We’re putting up our dukes and taking on the special challenge of writing fight scenes. Alida gives you specific instructions along with a sample scene.
I'm Alida
I help people express their gifts to the world.
I do not believe in formulas. I believe that the stories we are compelled to tell the world make demands on us, and it is our privilege to meet those demands in order to reach the most people in the most authentic and compelling way possible.
