Self Edit Checklist
Structural:
Have I introduced my main character(s) early enough?
Have I introduced the world to my readers early and clearly enough?
Do readers understands my character motivation, protagonist and antagonist? What of their goals, traits (strength and weakness)?
Have my characters grow throughout the story? If not, is it intentional?
Will readers find my characters to be relatable, sympathetic, or interesting?
(I don't have to, but have I done my work to develop empathy for my villain both in myself in readers? Is it a cheap-out sad background story, or explored with more nuance?)
Are there plot holes, inconsistencies?
Are there scenes I overwrote?
Are there scenes I underwrote?
How have the conflicts of the story (external and internal) driven it forward? (Have they?)
What sentences, scenes, chapters don’t move the story along? Cut them.
Are each section/chapter told from its consistent point of view? (No headhopping)
Are there factual mistakes that require further research?

About the writing craft — Masterlist
Hello everyone! Since the followers on this tumblr have grown a little since I first started back in March, I've thought about doing a recap on the writing advice / craft posts I've done.
As you know, I am quite picky in calling in "writing advice", so these are much more meant to be like a "behind-the-scenes" "take-what-you-want" kind of posts.
[Disclaimer: the posts refer to a specific fanfiction, but they can be applied to anything—and I do apply them to original stories too)
PRE-PRODUCTION: Plotting, Inspiration, Ideas, Character design
About the fear before beginning to write a long story
Designing characters: The characters and the leitmotivs
On how I plot and divide the chapters
The foreshadowing series: How I introduced clues all along to foreshadow some events in the story (Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 coming soon.)
POST-PRODUCTION: Editing, rewriting
In killing your darlings when something doesn't work—and how necessary it is
On editing (from a real-life editor): The macro, the micro, an introduction to everyone
WRITING IN GENERAL
On why Nanowrimo doesn't work for me and what I do about it
On why I don't believe in "Writing advice"—and you should just read
On the difference between fiction and reality—and how people nowadays just confuse the tw
If this is of any need to you, don't hesitate to save it or reblog it! I'm still writing about writing, but I thought there was no harm in doing a master list if anyone can find it interesting.
Also, do not hesitate to hit the ask box!
