Nichole asks:I’m trying to find good resources to help me do better spacing with my paragraphs, and such for my fiction writing. I have a good grasp on overall grammar. (Though my hurried emails don’t show this…) But some of the different spacing for paragraphs, when to indent and how much, or there is dialogue and such are still mystifying to me. Do you have any thoughts on this? Or resources?
Indiana Jim asks:You said on Twitter you had read a 500-page book by a reputed master, whom in the last eight pages, “breaks all thematic, plot, and character logic.” Without throwing this particular author under the bus, could you provide more detail on how this was accomplished so that we might avoid such a pitfall?
