February 27th 2008 11:32
1. Shorter sentences are often better.
2. Don’t vary words for ‘said’ too much. ‘Said’ is often better than ‘yelled’, ‘stated’, ‘exclaimed’ etc.
3. Two adjectives max. per noun.
4. Made up names not too long.
5. Less characters better. Consider replacing the smaller ones with larger characters in extra roles.
6. Simple font.
7. No similar names – Jack and Jake etc.
8. Avoid tangents
9. Correct punctuation.
10. Remove everything that doesn’t progress the story.
