staying out of editing mode

Helloooo! How are you?!

Today I will be talking about how to stay out of editing mode while you are writing. I know I know easier said then done. But hopefully these tips will help all of you.

tip number one - write your first draft of your story longhand. With most people editing written work is a lot harder so you will be less tempted to edit it while you are writing.

tip number two - put a cotton ball on your backspace key so you are reminded not to edit while you are writing.

tip number three - start to challenge yourself by writing 500 words as fast as you can type. Remember to time yourself to see if you can do it in less than 15 minutes.

Story aspects and how to tell if you have to much part two of two

Helloooooooo! How are you!?

Today I will bequeath unto you part two of two! Now in part one I gave you guys the definitions of the story aspects. Today I will be sharing a deeper look within each aspect. 

Romantic tension- romantic novels and woman's fiction require a high level. Where as children's books require none. 

Sensuality- some romance subcategories    accept very little of this and some erotic subcategories require the maximum. Children's fiction and Christian fiction allow non of this. But other categories allow a wide range of this.

Humor- all categories of fiction allow a wide range of this. The is one story aspect that you can decide the range of it.

Spirituality- with most categories of fiction less of this is more desirable then to have more of it. But in Christian fiction it preferably calls for more. 

Offensive language- most readers out there accept a wide range of this these days. Of course exempt this from children's books. 

Action/ adventure- some categories such as thrillers and some mysteries have a high level of this. But for woman's fiction and romance it is preferred, by some readers, to have less of this. 

Violence- this is not really accepted but it is expected in most thrillers and mysteries. However in romance it is not expected or accepted.

Suspense- for thrillers and mysteries this usually has a lot. In romance, children's, and woman's fiction this has very little to none.
