Finding the Positive Tone

Resources January 19, 2022March 7, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

As someone whose job is to write things, it may seem odd that I’m offering this list. However, I’m not the type of person who looks for the negative in everything. Negativity always seems to find me, though. When you first start out, you have to carefully consider your goals with the story. What are […]

Words That Describe Light

Resources January 12, 2022March 7, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

“Light” is an important word to describe. Light is often an integral part of what you are describing; this is particularly true when describing colors or lighting effects. So, when writing about light, it is vital to use the word accurately. There is an infographic floating around, and I’ve included it in text form because […]

How to Chop Up a Manuscript

Resources December 29, 2021March 7, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

One of the most significant mistakes writers […]

41 Words to Describe a Voice

Resources December 15, 2021March 7, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

You don’t want to reveal too much about your character in the first chapter. However, I’m of the firm belief that if you write an excellent first chapter, the rest of the story will fall into place. Then, when you get into chapter two, you can delve into a character’s background and give little hints […]

How to Write a One-Page Synopsis

Resources December 8, 2021March 7, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

A synopsis, or pitch, is a summary of your story. The summary should be a quick, straightforward, and easy way to show editors and agents what your book is about and why they should care.

If you’ve completed a draft of a written work, you’ve experienced the first stage of editing. The first pass removes the obvious errors (which are easy to catch) and makes the text flow better. The second stage of editing is the meat of the job, where you’re going to work to make the text more […]
