This is where beta readers and crit partners are worth their weight in gold.J.C.

If you're conveying what you want to, and getting the reader involved, then you're doing alright, regardless of what the guild lines say :) (Of course, it helps if you know what the guidelines are first)Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150396669537102331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335247684247777194.post-28612579858924845642012-01-13T06:27:14.750+11:002012-01-13T06:27:14.750+11:00Hopefully people see this, because it is sold advi...Hopefully people see this, because it is sold advice. I think people get tangled up in all this advice that's floating around, because they aren't willing to experiment and challenge their capabilities. They don't test this advice out. Instead they preach it, without understanding it, which only depowers the advice. But I'm guilty of this too :pmagicminthttp://www.loneswing.comnoreply@blogger.com
