I couldn't say without looking at the manuscript, but from the sound of it you may be right about having too many. I remember reading a William...
When I'm having a hard time with how awful I think my writing is, I just have to force myself to keep writing. Stick to a minimum wordcount, just...
Honestly, I try to buckle down and finish what I'm working on. I'm easily distracted by new and shiny things and if I open the gateway to giving...
Trying to learn the not-so-subtle art of Military Sci-Fi so I pulled out a Battletech book I remembered loving in middle-school. Double-Blind by...

Don't beat yourself up, man. Tolkien is dry at the best of times. In Silmarillion he's practically desiccating. It's a hard book to get through,...
I really need to finish that game.
