Good advice!

Thanks Delenathe! I like the example lol. For me at least, sometimes I get carried away with the italics if I use them for emphasis. So what I usually do is avoid them unless I really, reaaaally need them for something. Then they can really make something stick out to the reader (as well as show some tone of voice and pitch variation with character dialogue)

Ahem. Just got done reading this and thought I'd revive it.

Honestly, I'm fairly new at the writing world myself. So I might give my subjective opinion on some things, but remember to take them with a grain of salt.  One thing that I find is very useful when writing a book (For me, at least) is to have someone that I can talk to about it. This can be extremely useful if you struggle with staying focused on your writing. It might depend on the person in question, but sometimes a second opinion can be amazing for a writer, and keep them excited to finish their work. Also, editors and proofreaders are very helpful.

Anywho, has anyone got any advice they'd like to share?
