Great Questions From A Novice Writer





These are from Deanna Harrison who’s thinking of becoming a professional writer and, from the nature of her questions, it’s obvious that she’s put a lot of thought into it. I like the questions a lot and I’m pretty find of my answers as well. Deanna has given me her kind permission to reproduce the Q&A right here. Maybe this will help others looking to jump into fictioneering.

1. How do you stop switching tenses?

Well, you decide whether your story takes place in the present or the past and try to remain aware of that as you write. If you mess up, you can fix it in re-write. If you miss it there have other people proofread it for you for mistakes. Rewriting is the key! Get to love rewriting.


2. If you had the choice between publishing yourself or an agency/company which would you choose?

The e-book goldrush is over unless you have oodles of money for marketing. If not, you need to go with the publisher. That DOESN’T mean you shouldn’t self-publish first to establish copyright and get the attention of a publisher.

3. Do you start creating a character or world-building first?

I start with the character and a vague notion of the setting. But not every writer works that way.

4. Do you know if right away a story will become multiple books or do you write it and decide it after it's published?

I decide before I start writing. I know before I begin if it’s the first in a series or a one-off.

5. I know it is OK to skip around writing different chapters. That way you can meet a set quota you give yourself. But what if it's too far ahead in the story?

You absolutely should skip around if it keeps your momentum going. You can’t go too far ahead because you can always rewrite. As long as you’re making progress, keep writing.


6. How do you know when not to write say, said, mumbled, or other forms of explaining emotions in a sentence. 

Depends on the book and my intended audience. I usually stick with just “said” or “asked.” When I write westerns, I run the gamut; declared, bemoaned, cried, bellowed. The audience for those seem to prefer it that way.
But, for the most part, the emotion of your characters should come out in dialogue or at least be implied. I use physical gestures sometimes to convey unspoken emotions.

“I’m not frightened at all,” she said, her knuckles white where she twisted the hem of her apron.


7. Do you know of any good sites to help lookup words/items that you don't know but can describe them to get its name? 

I often just Google similar words and see what I can find. And read, read, read. Stock up the memory holes with new words and phrases. A writer collects words the same way a sound effects technician collects sounds.  I’m always stunned at the number of words I can recall while writing that I didn’t even know that I knew.

  7. HOW I RECOVERED MY LOST FUNDS FROM CRYPTOCURRENCY SCAMMERS.

    Hello ! My name is Sarah O’Brian, I am a chartered accountant and mother of four from Michigan. Some time ago I decided to invest in cryptocurrency. I invested exactly $50,000 for a start with a fake broker and was made to believe that my investment had grown from my initial deposit of $50,000 to $250,700. This felt so good as the investment grew rapidly in just a few weeks. When it was time to take my profit, my withdrawal request was denied. Later on after much vain efforts,i realized that I might never get my money back.
    I discovered that i had been a victim of cryptocurrency scam.

    My boss at work noticed how frustrated I was so I had to open up to him about my encounter with scammers. He linked me up with Recovery Precinct, so I looked up their website and filled the contact form. They responded Swiftly and requested for details of the fraud.
    To my greatest surprise, my lost funds was recovered directly to my wallet address in less than 24hours. I don’t know how they did it but it was amazing.

    Recovery Precinct is a financial regulator, private investigation and fund recovery body. They warned that these types of scams involving bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies or fake merchants are becoming common lately and targeted victims come from different parts of the world.

    I am sharing this to save someone out there from a lifetime disaster.

  8. There aren’t enough words to describe or explain my wonderful experience with CYBERCREDITGURU a US based Russian h a c k e r s. In 2018, I had 205 BTC in my blockchain wallet but out of my carelessness I misplaced my password and recovery phrase. I really don’t know how to go about it until early this year, I came across a 5star review about them in a forum online by one Mrs. Kimberly and I reached out to them via text: +1 (650) 439 0624 and CYBERCREDITGURU (AT) GMAIL DOT COM. They responded immediately and helped recovered my lost BTC wallet within 4 days. Thanks to Team CyberGuru. I also had an extremely poor credit report of 403 with derogatory; late payment, repossession, collections and foreclosure. They also cleared all negative items from my credit report and upgraded my FICO score to 810 across all three major bureaus. Now with no doubts I can say 2022 is a great year for me as I am a proud owner of a new house and a car. All thanks to CYBERCREDITGURU once again. They are my messiah! I confidently recommend them to you.
