On today's episode of the writing advice podcast, Tim Clare (that's me) talks about holding yourself to high standards while being kind to yourself, and looks at a listener's first page. You can submit your own first 250 words of a novel at www.timclarepoet.co.uk This is a great episode to listen to if you want practical advice on how to edit your novel. I take you through a real first page and go line by line suggesting ways to make it better. I explain every change in detail so you can apply these principles to your own work. If you're asking: how do I edit my fiction? How can I make my writing clearer? How should I handle character motivation? This is the episode for you.
