Common grammatical/writing mistakes:
Capitals in dialogue tags (He said vs he said. He asked vs he asked. Always a lowercase.)
Not starting a new paragraph for a new speaker (and in some cases their actions attached to their dialogue)
To vs too (I'm going to vs too many)
Their vs there vs they're (their watch vs the watch is over there vs they're looking at the watch)
Possessive apostrophes! (If an object belongs to Tom it's "Tom's." If there's multiple people called Tom then it's "Toms".)
Run-on sentences (whilst not technically wrong, too many can be poor writing)
Lose vs loose (he didn't want to lose the game vs the chicken is loose)
That vs who ("the person that did it" should be "the person who did it")
Incorrect capitalisation in titles (lowercase for "the queen...", uppercase for "Queen Victoria")
Presence (sensing someone's presence) vs presents (gifts)

Michael La Ronn reflects on mistakes he made when publishing his first book.
One piece of advice which resonated with me the most was trying too hard to be unique, one of the main reasons why previous original fiction ideas eventually bit the dust and were never finished.
I find now that a more of the same, but told in a different way serves the reader better. Sometimes we can become so invested in the idea that we lose sight of the fundamental elements of story, particularly that of relatable characters.
La Ronn has some great ideas and advice on his channel, and is very honest with his viewers. No ego, just a genuine desire to see people write faster and better.

Synthetising and simplifying ideas, and delivering just the right amount of information is an art. It shows respect for our readers, because we value their precious time and energy. But writing short and concise messages is not easy, it takes some practice. Let me share with you a few questions you can ask yourself next time you finish that long email, blog post, memo, presentation or cover letter: - If I delete this paragraph, will the reader still get what I'm trying to say? - Can I say the same thing with less words? - Did I repeat any idea more than once? - Is this sentence necessary? - Does my reader really need to know this? - Am I beating around the bush? And remember: your writing is not finished when you reach the end, but when you read it again and edit accordingly. This is your challenge for your next piece of writing. You can do it! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #writing #writingcommunity #copywriting #writinglife #copywritingtips #writingtip #copywritingtip #emailmarketing #emailmarketingtips #writingemails #writingemailslikeaboss #writingmistakes #writerslife #writerslifestyle #copywriterslife #blogging #blogger #bloggingtips #bloggingtipsandtricks #bloggingtips101 #bloggingtipsforbeginners #contentwriting #contentwritingservices #webcontentwriting #writingtips #marktwain #marktwainquote #marktwainquotes #writingquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZh8ZarUnp/?utm_medium=tumblr

The most common mistake that is easiest to identify is Typos. Writers often pay less importance to the typos while writing a business letter. But it frustrates the reader. A well-structured letter with dozen typos lost its impact on the reader. Typos are not technical mistakes. They are only a matter of carelessness. Proofreading can eliminate the majority of the typos in the final draft. Still, you should first read the whole document for proofreading with full concentration. After that, you can take help from the online tools. You can add Grammarly tool extension to MS word. It will lessen your

Dude, don't nod. Four major writing mistakes that are easy to avoid
Dude, don’t nod. Four major writing mistakes that are easy to avoid
Here in the Land of Writing Advice, we try not to lay down too many edicts because edicts are prickly things, but we’re going to put out four quick bits of writing advice that make you look a little more cool. Let’s get started. Nodding in acknowledgement. If you’re a writer and you write: Carrie nodded in acknowledgement. “Yes,” she said. “I do want to someday ride a manatee.” The…

Im completely guilty of most of these, eapically switching tenses! In the first draft of Rise of the Phoenix I just wrote. Getting my story written down on pages was my main priority. There were so many mistakes! It was crazy! While im waiting here hear back from my beta readers on Rise of the Phoenix I started doing the second draft of book#2 Return of the Phoenix. Even though im mostly focsed on the plot and charaters Im also trying to paying attention to some of these little things so editing is easier later on.
Rise of the Phoenix coming 2019!

Anyone wanna hear about the biggest writing mistake I ever made? 😳
As my fellow perfectionists probably know, making a mistake is THE END OF THE WORLD. 💀 (Or at least it feels like it.)
But mistakes are just part of the process. A sometimes scary--but really important--part.
So in this week's episode of Conversations with the Void, I'm talking about my biggest mistake . . . and why I'd totally do it again.

Most Common #WritingMistakes: Choppy Prose
Just another tip for writer from K.M. Weiland. Got to love her.
I was browsing the internet and came across this article. It immediately grabbed my attention for a couple reasons. The first would be that choppy prose is a mistake i used to make. The second would be I knew the article had to be written by a writer because only writers use the word “prose.” LOL! Seriously, it’s just more great advise from K.M. Weiland whom is my online writing coach (even…

Mushy Dialogue Sucks
There. I said it.
Mushy dialogue sucks. It’s nothing space in your story and sometimes it’s nothing space in your life. You know what I’m talking about, right? You meet some cool human at a coffee house and talk to them and it goes like this:
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
“How’s it shaking?”
“It’s shaking well, thank you.”
“Yeah. Weather is nice, right?”
“It’s quite sunny.”
“Cool.”
“Yes, it’s lovely.”
Random…
