I'm trying to learn these tricks with posting. I want to be seen, so I am scratching my head thinking how to make that happen. I noticed even my novel had a slow start. I needed to step it up a notch, so I did (I hope, lol)
Love catching your posts.

Edit on that last comment: Your paragraph sizes are fine in Chapter 7, the one I looked at. But you must double space in between paragraphs so there is white space between to make it easier on the eye :)
Gotcha, :-) am doing a practice run with the editing on this chapter. I am shocked what a difference just doing that did to it. I truly appreciate all this :-)
You are very welcome! I am happy to help!
Stay tuned for a contest I am hosting for my 4000K milestone, you are part of the inspiration :)
Oh cool :-) . I also went through and edited chapter 6. I just wish I had used the photo in 6-7 in the rest. Just learning as I go.
The community is forgiving ;) You know the support and encouragement here is second to none- and the absolute best online platform to stretch your writing wings :) Do you belong to any writers groups or workshops here?
None as of yet. Usually I'm not even online till late evening. I am taking some much needed break from work. My plans and hopes are to improve my skills here, and be able to turn my writing into a new career. I used to write poetry to friends, sometimes to myself and wrote mini stories. Sadly I never kept them in my moves here 21 yrs ago.
I'm also kind of on the shy side, even though it may not appear that way. I've thought about checking out a few on discord, but sometimes my mouth moves faster than my brain and I trip over my thoughts, lol.
Would you mind a little helpful advice on Daddy's Little Killer? From one writer to another?
Yes please :-) This is pretty much my trial run. So I know how to do better with next one :-)
The first thing I noticed is you need more white space.
Reading is hard on the eye. Break up your paragraphs into much smaller chunks with a white space in between- look at any of mine. The first thing a publisher does when they receive a manuscript is look to see if there is plenty of white space. If not, they don't even try to read it- no lie.
White space is very important!
Lol wow, I thought I was putting too much. I was told not to put too much in posts, but maybe it depends on what it is about?
Ok, going to edit the one I just did, as a learning thing :-)
