Hello lovelies, happy Tuesday! โค๏ธ
I'm on my read-through for book 1, so ofc I basically rewrote most of chapter 1... But, now when I read that through again... I get REALLY suspicious when my brain has no complaints throughout a paragraph.
Is that normal? ๐ตโ๐ซ

Thank you. That makes most sense, right?
I just heard so many different ones for those apartment-complexes. It does not exactly help not being native in English ๐ค

All right. So, what do you call the entrance/lowest-floor of an apartment building? Say one with three storeys, no basement?
Bottom floor?
First floor?
I kind of used both, but want a word Most will associate with the ground-floor.

Those are good pointers. I did find myself using 'but' a lot. This round of editing I've been jumping on inconsistencies, breaks in the flow and pouncing on those small filler-words which might not be necessary. It's hard and sometimes painful work.

Thank you. โค๏ธ I'm trying! O_O
I will need another round to catch all, but at ch.22 of 26 and know I need to cut chunks from the last 2 chapters. They feel too long. =/

O_O Is 'that' a word one usually use too much of?
Thank you, I will check on my read-through...
Any other word you know or can think of which sneaks in too often?

Thank you, I am! Perhaps my head is screwed on better, but it seems I woke up one day and was able to do sentence/line-edits. o_o
'This does not make sense', 'This is not necessary', 'This would flow better if you rearranged it like so...'.
I am a wee bit proud of myself ๐ค

All right, so the past few days I have shortened my script with about... 100 words. Of which 1/3rd consisted of the word 'just'.
Someone, pls clap and tell me I'm a good girl ๐ข

Hello lovelies!
I just wanted to tell you I haven't left, I don't ignore you! I just have serious troubles with my eyes + trouble reading/writing.
I hope to get better. I can never be well, but I like my measly 5-8%, which I barely have right now.
Thinking of you, guys! โค๏ธ

Hrm. I just want to make sure;
It is not Only me that after having to rewrite a sentence and then read the new, finding it absolutely perfect, utter a happy squeal worthy of Gabriel Iglesias as he sees cake?
Right? ๐ค
