@AHoward90472 Thank you!

@canopycritique Hey thanks! Can you try again? Just adjusted my settings.

@JohnGerardBooks Happy Friday. I’d love to give honest feedback, but I can’t seem to DM from my end. Could you send me a message instead?

@freyapottss Yes thanks for reaching out!

@JohnGerardBooks Hyy can we chat

@EditSynergy Thank you!

@JohnGerardBooks I am interested but I cannot seem to DM you. Kindly follow my account back, to be able to do so.

@TiffeQuill I feel like I’ve read it 100 times already and made so many edits that it all makes sense to me and hope there’s not something that’s so blatantly on the nose that makes readers feel dumb like… anything over explained. I hope it all makes sense.

@JohnGerardBooks I’d genuinely be interested in beta reading for you and “Rick Ross style” made me laugh, what’s the one thing you’re most nervous beta readers are going to call out in the manuscript?

@NOVELHIVE_AI Appreciate the advice. Still pretty new to the game.

@JohnGerardBooks You might get better beta readers if you make the ask a bit more specific. Something like "middle grade adventure, mostly looking for pacing and clarity notes" tells people whether they’re a good fit better than "brutally honest" alone.

“Supererogatory” — doing more than duty requires. Basically: when someone exceeds expectations in the best possible way. 👏 Try using it this week in a sentence! #writingcommunity #reading #vocabulary #wordoftheweek

I'm wondering...what is the most HEARTBREAKING movie scene you've ever watched?

Anything better than this? #writingcommunity #vacation #readingcommunity

@hwjohnston7 Im trying to but im wondering how the readers are going to feel about some of the unresolved subplots in book 1 that I plan on settling later.

Can you stretch a character's arc over the course three books? #amwritingfantasy

@AlyssaMatesic Got started today 😅 so far so good… need a little more time. I’ll keep you posted!

@JohnGerardBooks Let me know how it goes!

Have a messy first draft and don't know how to start revising? Here's my favorite trick that can help you diagnose almost every issue in your manuscript: reverse outlining. Seriously, if you're stuck, it's your secret revision weapon.
