This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario.
Holy crap! That's crazy! Though I have to say I love someone plagiarizing from a plagiarism website. That belongs in a book! Oh, wait. She tried to put it in one. Hahaha!
Just as long as you don't start every chapter with "she woke up" and end it with "she went to bed" - I saw that on a writing advice board recently... (The person asking for advice had structured their story that way, rather than that advice being given.)
Although I agree with many of your points, I do think you're being a little hard on yourself. I dare say if any accepted classic were examined in such detail, there would be as many apparent flaws found. Certainly it's necessary to be fussy when submitting in hope of publication, but lets not edit the life out of the thing. Sometimes it's breaking the rules that defines the art.
Schnujo's next semester starts - I did some digging and the only place I found the "why" was that he felt "special" having these books that no-one else had. He had one of a kind books and they were his and his alone. Like the collectors who gather stuff and do not display them. (I know a guy who has the biggest collection of Australian wrestling memorabilia but unless you know him, you will never see it; it is the gathering and the owning that is the goal.)

So… I have no other ideas of what more to write to help authors.
If you, the three people who read this, have anything you’d like me to look at or have anything you think I might be able to help with, leave a comment, and I will see what I can do.
In the meantime, I am going to continue to outline my novel writing journey, as well as I can, at least whenever I have nothing else to write about. I think I am also going to re-post some things from my old blog (non-WdC), updating them as I go on.
So… if you have anything at all, let me know. Otherwise, I’m going to be completely boringly historical.
