Head Hopping (POV Violations)
The Problem: The reader is confused about whose head they are in, breaking immersion.
How to Identify: In a single scene, are we hearing thoughts from Character A and Character B? Unless you are writing omniscient (which is rare in modern fiction), this is an error.
The Solution: I perform a strict POV check. I flag every instance where the narrative slips so you can maintain deep, immersive POV
And the Prayer of Faith Shall Save the Sick
Artist: John Frederick Lewis (English, 1804-1876)
Date: 1872
Medium: Oil on panel
Collection: Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, United States
Description
Painted twenty years after John Frederick Lewis returned to London after a decade in Cairo, this pictureâs title is a quotation from the Epistle of St. James in the New Testament, yet the work apparently depicts a Muslim man reading from the Koran. The cross-cultural ambiguity is complicated further by the close resemblance of the reclining sick woman to Lewisâs wife, Marianne; furthermore, the cross-legged reader appears to be a self-portrait of the artist. A panel on the wall bears a relief of the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, and above this is a quotation from the Koran: âWe have embraced the faith, so forgive us.â Lewisâs paintings often point out convergences between the cultures of the Middle East and of Victorian Britain, and this sympathetic scene of Muslim piety, bearing a biblical title, may have reminded British viewers of the importance of understanding religious differences and challenging orientalist stereotypes.
A first draftâs only job is to exist.
Not to be brilliant. Not to be publishable. Not to impress anyone.
If youâre waiting to feel âreadyâ before you write, youâll wait forever. Write messy. Write awkward. Write sentences youâll delete later.
Thatâs not failure thatâs craft.
Perfection is edited. Stories are discovered. Let yourself discover yours
Pacing Issues in Action Scenes
The Problem:Â Your fight scene or chase sequence feels boring or confusing, despite high stakes.
How to Identify:Â Look at sentence length. If your high-octane fight scene is full of complex, compound sentences with 4 commas each, the pacing is too slow.
The Solution:Â I review the "beats" of your action. I help you vary sentence structure to mimic the heartbeat of the scene, ensuring the reader is breathless.

Writing isnât hard because youâre bad at it. Itâs hard because you care.
Youâre shaping thoughts into meaning. Youâre asking your brain to build worlds, emotions, and logic at the same time. Of course itâs heavy sometimes.
Hard doesnât mean stop. Hard means stretch.
Youâre growing muscles you didnât have before.
Why âIâll fix it laterâ rarely works
Small issues compound.
Beta readers help you address structural problems early, before they become full rewrites.
Why plot holes arenât always logical errors
Many plot holes are actually missing bridges information that exists in the authorâs head but not on the page.
Beta readers flag those gaps so readers donât feel stupid or lost.
