Gratitude

When reading feels so good

Hello Friends, this post is different from my usual kind of post. I have come up with an intriguing idea. Recently, I have a good friend who have helped me proofread some of my works.

  • I have decided to do a similar thing for other people. Thank you so much Elizabeth, I am very grateful. I want to pay it forward. It reminded me that we can help people in different ways even while miles apart.
  • So, if you have any essay, coursework or article you need help proofreading I can help, in my little way. 
    • I believe that we can be of help to one another. Still in the journey to a better person and to serve you better. Of utmost importance to me is to influence lives positively.
    Do share this post with your friends, in your various networks, you never can tell. Lets help each other. Someone else might feel inspired and come up with another idea to assist others. Please, share🙏🏼
    Disclaimer: I hold no degree in writing related courses but I simply love writing, reading and maybe, proofreading😊
    Lets grow together

    What Tenses Suit Your Writing?



    Hi friends, in the course of editing the manuscript for my new novel, I realised there are lots of words I repeated more than the others. You need to see how many times I have edited this work – Ah!

    I have noticed that most novels are written in past tense, in the sense that the writer narrates what had already happened. In my initial drafts, it was mixed up; both present and past tenses. My novel is a fiction.

    Are you are a writer or have such knowledge? I will like to know what works for you tenses wise. For instance, ‘had and would’ are always handy for me.

    To be honest, the writing was kind of easy-going, because I wrote as the ideas came along and at the times and the days it did came; simply hitting the keyboards however, this editing phase seems to be more than I had imagined. It’s taking a lot of time and am yet to get it to the level I want. It has been edited by other people and a professional editor too.

    On a different note, I read about book promotion before publication. Have you tried that? How did it go? I will like to try it in terms of creating more awareness.
