Ok, since you’ve all been good writers and left your NaNo manuscript in a drawer for a month (you have, haven’t you???), I’m going to focus this month on REVISING TIPS and BETA/CRITTING!
Aren’t y’all exCITed! I know I am!
To kick things off on a humorous note, consider this video, keeping revising in mind. 😉
You can see how setting (playing cops and robbers in the park VS playing cops and robbers in a bank), plot points, character interactions (kissing a loved one VS kissing a stranger)–whatever you choose–can make a big difference!
Erm, grammar can also make a difference.
Ex. Throwing a penny into a fountain to make a wish VS Throwing your cousin Penny into a fountain to make a wish.
Of course, the same words can also have different meanings.
Ex. Playing ball with your grandfather VS playing ball WITH your grandfather (as the ball).
Happy writing!

Lol! Penny the cousin and Grandfather the ball! I love writing jokes; they bring some sanity back in my life.
P.S. that vid was pretty awesome 🙂
Love the video! Good way to look at editing! Have a great weekend! 🙂
I take it you enjoy the editing phase? So do I!
I hate the editing phase. But it is a necessary evil.
Looking forward to your posts this month! 🙂
Can’t wait to see your tips. I need to bust that Nano book out and start revising. Well, maybe I should finish it first, huh? 😉
