I found a local writing group up here since we moved in Sept, and I’m going through it with them (actually meet with them in an hour). The first third I’m pretty much good with, but I have trouble getting people to read the remaining sections :(
My newer novel has a better start than BtB though. I learned a lot from my earlier attempts and I think it’ll take less reworking to make it happen. It’s a sweet/sad/romantic little story and I like it. Oh and the planet might blow up at one point so there are potential explosions ;)

But I learned it, thank goodness. I even wrote a post about it once upon a time; take a peek if you wish:

I had to think about it too. It’s something my brain filed as “useless information “. How’s the book coming?

I swear I don’t remember them teaching us this kind of thing back in school, and I was in advanced english classes! I think I skipped or missed a class somewhere along the way where they went over this. Verbs, adjectives, nouns, yes. adverbs no.
