Doh! I got distracted and forgot to post a new call for volunteers, sooooo what I'm going to do is volunteer myself!

Here is the master question list. Go give it a skim and then come back here and tell me which question you think I should tackle!

Whatever gets suggested most (that I have the slightest clue about) will go up next.

Thanks! :)


{A new volunteer call post will go up after I post whatever essay I come up with, so please be on the look-out for questions you might want to cover.}

Can I vote for a good foreshadowing without a heavy hand? That's a tricksy little beggar!

I like berty's suggestion, but also wanted to suggest "knowing when to stop, and when to keep going." How do you know when your story is done?

I'm seconding that one - it is hard to deal with, particularly with a shorter story. Sometimes it comes down like a hammer.

And next time you call for volunteers, I'd be happy to tackle in a couple weeks:
"How can you write a convincing narrative voice from RayK's POV, and balance his canonical plain talk with the needs of your story?"

Since 90% of my stories are written in his POV...

Heya! I just realized I failed to comment here earlier, doh! I posted the new Volunteer Call post today. If you want to go first (to post in about a week), I can bump you to the front of the line. Or, if you'd rather, you can just comment over there to go in the order people are listed. (I think there are 2 signed up so far.)

You've got dibs if you want -- just let me know! :D
