Most writers, especiallly new or fledgling writers, make common mistakes without realizing it, and these mistakes generally mean that your manuscript will be passed over by readers, publishers and editors. There are several writing mistakes to which many writers fall prey, such as:
• Inconsistent character behavior (especially throughout the story)
• Inaccurate character development
• Uninteresting dialogue (too brief, too lengthy, not meaningful)
• Speaking and description out of character
• Lack of feeling description
• Inconsistent descriptions of characters, events, places
• Lack of action, feeling, and description attached to conversation
• Insufficient interaction between characters (dialogue, feeling, emotions)
• Lack of description of movement, actions, attitudes
• Relying on author explanation rather than working into dialogue
• Confused plot line (hard to follow for the reader)
• Later forgetting what was earlier written
• Story line structure, inconsistent follow-through
• Inacurrate description of places, things, events, human behavior
• Forgetting or not taking into account how the reader views the story and the characters
• Villains not real, no identifiable good or sympathetic characters
