How much repetition is normal in a novel? I'm asking because one of my favorite authors repeated at least 20x that the main character worked in daycare for a decade. It is some serious for me. So that begs the question. How much is too much? |
Purple Eyez Aglow - not everyone starts with book 1 therefore sometimes stuff is repeated? Maybe? |
It's the Great Pumakin! - Which I understand. When book focused on her relationship and the reminders of her started, I was there. But it continued to be mentioned so much that it dragged the story down. I write series romance mostly, so I know things need to put in. I'm guilty of not explaining who previous main characters are, job, life, etc. I just felt like it was mentioned every other chapter to point I actually turned the page to move on from it, and that was halfway through the book. Now I get to figure out how much is enough, and what is overkill. |
Purple Eyez Aglow - it probably was overkill. I've seen that too...it's like, "enough is enough, already!" |
I've added a new entry to my book, "Poisoned Purple Pen" : "From bad to Worse" I'm all up for advice at this point. |
