Read your work out loud. Any sentence or phrase you struggle to say in one breath is running too long. Break it up or edit it down.
@cerrad Ahh. Yeah that makes sense. She definitely was throwing her opinions around towards the end there, like posting reviews of the books
@cerrad True. I actually thought Mortal Instruments wasn't as well written as the Draco Trilogy. It felt like she recycled characters to me.
@cerrad Yes! I thought it was pretty famous in the fanfic world, but I haven't met many ppl outside my friend-group who know about it.
POLL: This account is pretty fandom-neutral, but indulge my curiosity. How many of you have either heard of, or read, the Draco Trilogy?
@firewifesara I know! I'm waiting for an update btw ;)
"Wonder": (v) to be curious or (n) amazement. "Wander" (v): to travel without direction. "He WONDERED what WONDERS he could WANDER to."
"Brake" (v or n): rel. to a car's stop action. "Break": (v or n) fracture, or (n) a respite. "You will BREAK bones if your BRAKES fail."

5000+ chaps :) "@_nellie12: RT @FicWriterTips: POLL: As a reader, do you prefer shorter or longer chapters? What approximate word count?"

-- or does he snatch them from a messy pile of similarly expensive shoes and barely notice the label? All choices give details of character.
-- OR, take the same pair of expensive sneakers. Does your character keep them in the original box and polish the scuffs in the morning, --
-- Ex: Jeans. Does your character wake up and reach for (in her words) her "soft, worn favorites" or her "True Religion jeans"? --
