Structural Editing

What is a structural editor (SE): A SE will consider your manuscript as a whole and help you work towards improving your novel for the sake of the reader. SE are the connection between what the readers need, what the publisher requires, and what the author hopes for their story. Developmental editing and structural editing often cross into one another and focus on the same goals/objectives.

When to get a SE: This is usually the first stage of editing. They need the full manuscript in order to properly assess your story and all the elements within. If you’ve finished your manuscript, and you find the story still doesn’t seem quite as professional as some published books, this is the place to start.

Benefits of having a SE: SE are amazing at assessing a story as a whole and determining how to shift your story to meet expectation of publishers and readers. They help set you in the right track to get your novel published and share your story with your readers.

What they do for you:

Issues with plot

pacing issues

character, setting or theme issues

writing style issues

organize or reorganize paragraphs and chapters to help make your story comprehensive

considers audience, purpose and medium of publishing to help structure your story better

help you work on premise, point of view, and voice

work through scenes to trim the unnecessary details, and expand on some areas to improve comprehension

work on dialogue

consider the flow of the story

What they won’t do for you:

Grammar, spelling and punctuation.

working line by line to clarify meaning

work in formatting or typesetting for the manuscript

When choosing an editor, be sure to be clear as to what you want from them, and what services they can offer you. No two editors are the same. Some may offer more services while others may specialize in more specific ways. Typically, you can ask for a sample of their work to determine if you will match with your editor, or if they’re not the right fit for you.

Happy Writing!

The beginning of every adventure in business depends on trust. How we build it, what we do with it, how we take advantage of it and where we can  go with that trust. Interest topic delivered on TED. Com by Simon Sinek titled "First Why and then Trust".

THE WRITER'S WORKBOOK - free

Hello hello, it's me!

Today I'm here to tell you about each feature of "The Writer's Workbook", which you can download for free.

Note: this workbook has two variations, so you can print it or use it digitally as a PDF.

I designed this workbook in an intuitive way so that the plot progresses as you go further in the exercises. It is divided in six big categories: Idea & Plot, Character Development, World Building, Writing, Journal, and Resources.

Note: feel free to skip exercises or to complete them in any other order than the one suggested by me!

IDEA & PLOT

This section is meant to help you develop your idea before you even know who your characters are.

In this part, you will choose the central conflict, write down keywords about your idea, and draw a mind map. Then, you'll proceed to find your voice through different exercises, to then find each key point of the plot, from exposition to resolution.

It's also in this part that you are going to come up with plot twists and the ending of the book.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Here, as the name says, you will completely develop all your characters, from the protagonist to the side characters. You will also have the opportunity to develop their relationships through mind maps and brainstorming processes.

WORLDBUILDING

Just like the other categories, worldbuilding is a fundamental step when plotting a novel.

In this workbook, you'll be asked to draw or generate a map of your world so that you always have it near you whenever you need it. There are also some prompts to fill out about it, and locations to create and explore.

In this part, you can also make a timeline for all the main events in your world.

WRITING

Now that most of your story is planned, it's time to think about writing it!

This section is perfect to come up with the best title for your book, brainstorming and develop the opening scene, and fully developing each key point using the snowflake method.

There's also a place to write down all the scenes and chapters you want to include in your book and check it off as you write it.

JOURNAL

This part is for you to reflect on your writing goals, on your ideas, and to see your progress. It's important to check this often and make sure you always have your goals in mind!

RESOURCES

Here you will find some useful resources from writing communities to courses and softwares to help you in this process and, hopefully, make it easier!

ReThink Review: Fresh Off the Boat (eps. 1-4) - Thanks, Asian America Needed That

Jueves 04 de Noviembre de 2021 𝓑𝓾𝓮𝓷𝓸𝓼 𝓭𝓲́𝓪𝓼 𝓫𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪𝓼 𝓶𝓾𝓳𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼! 🌞 Devocional: “La buena semilla”

🔸Si confesares con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor, y creyeres en tu corazón que Dios le levantó de los muertos, serás salvo. Romanos 10:9

📌No tenían conocimiento de Dios Lectura propuesta: 1 Samuel 2: 12-17

💖 La historia de los dos hijos del sacerdote Elí nos llama la atención. Ofni y Finees fueron criados en una familia que servía a Dios, pero no heredaron la piedad de su padre. Al contrario, se atrevieron a usar su posición de sacerdotes para su propio beneficio. La razón principal de su mala conducta era que no conocían a Dios: “Los hijos de Elí eran hombres impíos, y no tenían conocimiento del Señor” (1 Samuel 2:12).

💖 Por supuesto, sabían que Dios existía, conocían el ritual del servicio religioso, las fechas y las estaciones de las ofrendas especiales y de las fiestas anuales. Incluso conocían las leyes concernientes a cada tipo de ofrenda; no obstante, hacían las cosas para su propio beneficio. ¡Pero conocer los rituales no significa conocer a Dios! Podían repetir oraciones aprendidas de memoria, pero no habían tenido un encuentro personal con Dios.

💖 El verdadero conocimiento de Dios es el resultado de la fe en él. Dios se da a conocer al que lo busca. Todas las personas que lo deseen pueden encontrarlo hoy y ser liberados de sus pecados, si creen en su Hijo Jesús y en el valor de su obra. Este encuentro, que nos establece en una relación viva con Dios, es fundamental.

💖 Los hijos de Elí nunca tuvieron este encuentro inicial con Dios. ¡Su ejemplo es una advertencia muy seria! ¡Los ritos religiosos no nos salvan! Al contrario, pueden volvernos insensibles al estado de nuestro propio corazón y hacernos menospreciar a Dios. Lo que importa no son solo nuestros actos, sino nuestro corazón, pues Dios desea “la verdad en lo íntimo” (Salmo 51:6).

Pay attention to the things you are naturally drawn to. They are often connected to your path, passion, and purpose in life.

Project and Team Management

Project and Team Management is an interesting class. No project is done, if there is no involvement of people in it. In other words, people make the projects, and the project may or not work depending on the skills, talents, and willingness of people involved in it.

That is the main purpose of this class. Every project has five main areas that a team management would seek, in order to assess where the best resources are to get the job done: People, Resources, Places, Personalities and Budgeting.

How a project management will achieve the goal of increasing a production of cars from five hundred to one thousand in a day? Can we build the same cars with the same people, with the same resources and budget?. Changes in the process means changes in management.

Welcome to team management.

A team in the company is important to achieve success. A team that “manage” all the changes in the environment from planning, execution and control.

What resources do we have? What places are available? How do we connect different places with same policies at the same time? Do we use the Internet, do we use the web to get the messages to our partners all around the globe?

If we want to produce more, who is the leader that will challenge his team to get a little further? What skills and traits does every single person have to get the project done?  What kind of leadership do we have at the other side?  Is it a shark, an owl, a turtle, a teddy bear? What about the personality? Is it a dominant personality? Is it an influence personality? Is it a steadfast personality? Is it a Compliance personality? http://www.123test.com/disc-personality-test/

In real world, how do we combine all these types of personalities in a working place?  Is it one better that the other one? Do we take advantages of every single personality to produce a meaningful and diverse team that achieve the goal of producing more? How?

Welcome to Project and Team Management, where knowledge is the key to open a world of opportunities to make things happen, and get the job done.

Just do it with knowledge. Knowledge is Project and Team Management.
