Nothing will intimidate or outright anger a reader faster than huge walls of text. It’s a common mistake for inexperienced bloggers to make, and one I see far too often in a lot of online articles. How to optimize a blog post for on-page SEO, social shares/engagement, etc.

This appears to fly in the face of the initial piece of advice, but as far as I can see no-one advises on how to approach this issue. Is the draft to be edited completely ignored until project 2 reaches the same stage, or what? I can see from them that my question was not quite clear. I have read the series on scenes and sequels, and have “Structuring Your Novel,” though not the workbook. When I said `orchestral scenes’ I was really thinking of sequences; a string of scenes and sequels with a slightly heightened tone. Of course, keeping up that level of action or suspense through an entire book would be exhausting to read.

Everything I thought of, you’d already posted on, and often times posted a series! And that is why your blog is my go-to place to get ideas to pull me up out of the ditch I’m trapped in. And those idea I hadn’t thought of, it looks like someone else did above.
