Pet Peeve: “It” and “There”

There’s a way we use words in our everyday speech every day, probably dozens of times a day.

But when it comes to fiction writing, as you invite your reader to place themselves in the room as an observer to your story, you should definitely, absolutely never write the way you talk.

In this episode, Lana McAra illustrates how words like “it” and “there” can confuse your reader and break them out of the trance-like state of suspended belief, this “snapping them out” of the story. Apply some of the basic lessons you were taught in grammar class, and you prevent this from happening.

When your reader is able to keep themselves embroiled in your fiction novel without being snapped out of it, your writing becomes #Unputdownable.

With each character and each setting, hundreds of details must be compiled and organized – far too many for a writer, like you, to keep them cataloged in your brain.
