They communicate by light - visions?

I'm a native of my country. I'd find it offensive to read one of my ancestor names used in someone's story that had nothing to do with them because our language means something. It isn't just words. At the same time I have no issue with using say 'Karen' or 'Debbie' for some reason. Characters...

Hi Folk, I've just received my book back from my editor. I appreciate the feedback she has given me but she mentioned 2 of my chapters were too long. Each of my 'chapters' is like a story in itself so I'm confused about how a chapter can be 'too long'. How do I make a chapter smaller?

TBH I have wondered if there could be issues with the publishing of anything apocalyptic in nature. Gawd I sound like a conspiracist! But, even at this point in time censorship is happening through many forms of media and I wonder where that will lead. No gov wants citizens - who have alot of...

This is my constant :) I can't write and edit. I just have to write then get someone else to edit - check continuity etc. That works best for me

I'm doing similar - good advice Pen Pilot - thank you

Cool
