Okay, you're almost done with your manuscript, you finished your manuscript, you have one published. Way to go you! Please, I'm sure I can speak for every other author.

If you have that urge to create your own room, don't add everyone and their twin. It's annoying. I'm not saying I don't/won't/didn't enjoy your work. I'm just saying, I could care less. That's what ummm newsfeeds are for. That's

Editing

Lets talk about this portion of the writing world.
