Ten Mistakes Writers Don't See
Pat Holt, former San Francisco Chronicle Book Review Editor and Critic, offers up some good avice for anyone who writes in Ten Mistakes Writers Don't See. If you write for a living (or for a hobby), you'll only improve the quality of your work by considering these points.
Holt introduces the list with these thoughts:
From email messages and front-page news in the New York Times to published books and magazine articles, the 10 ouchies listed here crop up everywhere. They're so pernicious that even respected Internet columnists are not immune.
The list also could be called, "10 COMMON PROBLEMS THAT DISMISS YOU AS AN AMATEUR," because these mistakes are obvious to literary agents and editors, who may start wording their decline letter by page 5. What a tragedy that would be.
Good advice that will make you a better (and quite possibly more successful) writer.
