Balancing loads of equally-important characters A small piece of tangential-but-relevant advice--don't make yourself write something if you're not into it. Readers can tell, and there's probably a reason you felt that way in the first place. If you find yourself paying more attention to a few characters, it might be b/c they deserve it. Maybe try to find something that creates the same level of interest for you in the other characters? And if you can't muster it, then maybe you should let them fade into the background. |

Is the iPad a convenient medium for writing work? Like several answer-ers, I wrote most of a novel on an iPad. The question is, can you effectively & comfortably touch-type on an iPad? Some people can, certainly. I'd say try to borrow someone's or mess around with one in the store and see if you're one of those people before you buy. Plenty of perfectly adequate, free iPad text editors exist. |

How best to handle revealing a main character's name midway through a long story in close-third person? +1 good distinction, and good point about having characters mess up the name switch in-story. |

How best to handle revealing a main character's name midway through a long story in close-third person? @NeilFein It would be pretty clear to the reader in-story, but I made my question clearer by editing it to include references on close 3rd. Thanks! |

How best to handle revealing a main character's name midway through a long story in close-third person? The idea isn't that the narrator has been lying--it's that the 3rd person narration is really only privy to things the main character knows. And he didn't know the real name until he was told. Generally a very good answer otherwise. |
