Writing Mistakes I See Most Often as an Editor

Here are just a few mistakesI see most often as a freelance editor. This is by no means an exhaustive list but I wanted to share with writers so that they can start focusing in on some of these things. Always be sure to ask beta readers, critique partners, developmental editors, etc if you are falling into any of these traps!

very helpful thank you Shauna. Are you able to do an episode on publishing vs self-publishing and how to succeed in both?

[@JohnDoe-sw4kg]

Good advice. When you were talking about writing out everything a character likes/ reacts it reminded me of hearing about Tolkien and how he had absolutely crazy worldbuilding that he spent many years developing long before he put LOTR to paper

Thank you so much! It definitely helps but you don't want to get too bogged down in world building and forget to write the book lol. So always find your limit and remember not to get too caught up in it :)
