Really inspiring thread! I'm particularly suckling on these two right now, from deep in structural edits (which are NOT my forté) and the resultant rewrites:

I'm quite lazy on chapter titles. If I had to think of them it would be the death of me because I'd agonise over them like each chapter title was a title to a separate novel. So I stay clear of that and just number them. Problem is I have no road...

I also like chapter titles - reading and especially writing them. Yet the way I do it might be an authorial conceit (even though Sedayne liked my Chapter-8 title :) ). Mine mean something only after you're deep into the chapter. Then it's...

I don't know if it's a matter of personal preference or if there is any psychology behind it, but I love chapter titles as both a reader and a writer.

The way I look at subplots is best explained by looking at theme. Rather than me say, "this is how you do it," this tactic might throw up ideas that let you solve the problem how works for your novel. This vlog could give you ideas how to...

Totally agree!

It seems everyone is missing the point. An author uploaded an ePub to Amazon. He SELLS it for let's say 10 Euros or Dollars or whatever. I don't have a Kindle. I don't want a Kindle and I'll NEVER own a Kindle. I download the ePub to my laptop...

James Charles, Jousting was the football of the time. The way an unknown could become rich and famous. Wizard of OZ was supposed to be written about the US politics of the time. My state of Kansas was in the middle of it at the turn of the last...

Ha! We were watching a murder mystery and a character on the show said, "Hey Google, how do you dispose of a body?" Our Google on the counter behind us answered the question. Now it's in our search history. When will the knock on the door come...
