I’m honored to be able to encourage new authors, most of whom are writing in their second language, and pass along what my mother, Grace McGovern, along with many, many editors (my favorite, my friend, Dawn), taught me.
I’ve been privileged to work with Adina through her first 8 chapters, and it wasn’t until just now (WOW #8 New Beginnings!!) that my Husband showed me how Adina “My Custody Loss” and Anastasia “Washed Seven Times” (who we just invited to join us) can take what they learned and leave it in the comment after posting their first IOU PRAISE just as HLM to do!
So my Husband asked me to lead the way. Each author https://narrowroadpublishinghouse.com/rjns/ who wants help with proofreading (oh, and developing the story) can simply post an IOU praise with their title, and each time they have a new chapter, post whatever mini-lesson as the comment.
No doubt He will lead us a bit more—but you’ll be able to take part and watch or better yet—join us!!
When Adina or Anastasia gets a tagged comment with a mini-lesson, she will add it as a comment.
If I give you an example, like:
Dad and Mom or other family are only Capitalized IF you’re using it as their name, like “Mom made sure I…” but when referencing, like “my mom made sure…” then use a lowercase.
[Then she would add her comment she left for me, for all of you]
Thank you for the lesson Erin, just realized it is the same in AFR; Capital letter when used as a proper noun, but small caps when used as common noun. 🙂 And I must help my children with ENG as first LNG….
So Adina and Anastasia, post your RJNs, each as a NEW praise https://rmiou.com/pr/ so we have a thread to return to. It’s up to you to share the document, but to keep things from becoming complicated and confusing, I’ll be the first editor/proofreader, and should anyone want to proofread or develop the story, then MAKE A COPY so each document has just one author and one proofreader.
Hi, this sounds like great news. I am also writing my restoration novel, have just been writing it on my laptop, I am not in Narrowroadpuplishinghouse neither. I do not know if it is possible for me to join or if it is possible to join on this that you posted right now Erin, but that would be a great help for me.
