I know, it’s a very generic title, but, well, this is about reading. Books. And there are lots of ways for you to explore books on KD Did It: book reviews; lists of genres I’ve read and what I think of them; Chronological Lists of Complex, Intersected Series of all those series that have subseries and/or short stories…or those series which slip back and forth along the chronological line. For an obsessively organized person, not knowing drives me nuts!; and, my own publications.

The Other Side of Reading — the Writing!

There is also the other side of books, the writing thereof. I know most of us can’t afford an editor. Or think we can’t. It is actually much cheaper to hire an editor than to to have to fix your reputation after publishing a poorly edited book that will be out in the world forever.

“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”
– W. Somerset Maugham

Anyway, back to editing… I’ve been posting a variety of self-editing tips from Word Confusions to Grammar Explanations to Formatting Tips to the Properly Punctuated.
