Today, I'm looking at why it's a bad idea to expand your novel in the middle (adding new characters and subplots) and how, exactly, a writer can deepen the middle instead: hollyschindler.substack.com/p/the-reading-… #writingadvice #writingtips #writingcommunity #writeyournovel

A fun new Q&A on the podcast this week, hitting just about every topic we've covered so far: pickforprofit.podbean.com/e/qa-2-you-ask… #antiques #antiquesdealer #collectibles #antiqueshop #antiquesforsale #CollectiblesStore

As writers, our methods and approaches change over time...and so does our advice! hollyschindler.substack.com/p/writers-jour… #writingtips #writingadvice #writersonwriting #WritingJourney #writingcommunity #writinglife

Subplots can either fracture your novel into 100 different distractions OR they can rescue your sagging middle: hollyschindler.substack.com/p/the-reading-… #writersoftwitter #writersofx #writingcommunity #writingadvice #writeanovel #writingtips #subplots #plotyournovel

I honestly can't believe what John is able to ship at times. Fragile 100+-yr-old celluloid, bass guitars...how he does it in this week's podcast: pickforprofit.podbean.com/e/from-treasur… #antiquestore #antiqueshop #antiques #collectibles #collectiblesforsale #antiquedealer

John talked a bit about how he approaches customer service in this week's episode. I think his approach is the reason why he's only gotten one return in 10 years of selling online! pickforprofit.podbean.com/e/service-can-… #antiquedealer #collectibles #sellingantiques #sellingonetsy #sellingonebay

Subplots absolutely help maintain deep reader immersion through a book's middle, but only if you weave and pace them appropriately. Even GOOD subplots can tank a middle if not well-paced! hollyschindler.substack.com/p/the-reading-… #writingtips #writingadvice #writingabook #narrativetransportation

Authors: What sense is best for drawing readers into a book? I mean fully immersing them and making them feel your fictional world is real? (Hint: It's not sight!) hollyschindler.substack.com/p/behind-the-c… #writingtips #writeyournovel #writingadvice #WritersOfX #writing #writingcommunity

For the latest #spoonflowerdesignchallenge (1970s), I put together Roller Disco Dreams. I loved drawing these groovy roller skates! If you ever need a different scale, don't ever hesitate to shout: spoonflower.com/en/fabric/1990… #patterndesign #fabricaddict #sewingcommunity #sewinglove

When DO you clean a collectible? Rarely, according to my brother, who sells online (it all goes back to his selling niche). This week on the podcacst: pickforprofit.podbean.com/e/patina-or-pe… #antiques #antiquedealer #collectiblesstore #selling #ebayseller #etsyseller #sellonlinesmart
