Hi Rosemary,
Thank you for sharing your article. I learn something new on the tips that I never apply from my previous experience in writing a book. Writing is a specialty that requires both skills and talents. I learn by doing, by committing my errors, and afterward observing where I turned out badly.

Cheers!
Greg

I’m 82 and working on my first novel (historical fiction/romance). I’ve been writing in a spiral binder with my feet up in my recliner while my husband watches endless TV. Maybe not what I’m supposed to do but it works for me. I’ve looked everywhere for information about fonts, page set-up, etc. and was so happy to come cross your site. Thank you so much, Rosemary; now I can get started putting everything into the computer. Any other tips anyone can give me about how the manuscript should look (margins, etc) would be greatly appreciated. LORI

Rosemary, thanks for this post. I’ve bookmarked it and will definitely will reference it often. I was, however, surprised that you said that Omniscient POV, is out of favor. What POV style is in favor?
