Today we are going to discuss two subjects, strongly related: research and feedback in writing. When you create a story, you are not only giving your readers a plot and some (hopefully believable) characters, but you are letting them visit your world. It can even be a totally new world because your story is set in an unusual context or in another era.The feedback you'll get will tell you if the "time/place machine" you are building with your story actually works. Feedback is one of the most precious things in the fandom: both readers and authors...

Today's guest for the Writing Lab is Nayarit. Her lesson about Writing multiple POVs/redundant POVs has been one of the most read and appreciated of My Reading's Lounge writing lab.
A good news: she's going to contribute again to the Writing Lab!
Let's read and discuss her article about:
"Accents in Writing"
Nayarit says:
"When I sent out my first manuscript to an editor, she tore that thing apart. Rather viciously actually. But I’ll never forget every single writing lesson she taught me. And one of those lessons was about conveying dialect in writing and the use of misspellings."
Since the article is very rich, you can download it:

"Antonius," he growled. "You have been given an order. I don't allow any disobedience."
"I'm a free man. Are you considering me a slave?" I hissed. "I'm leaving today. My soldiers are waiting for me."

There are many sites that offer the opportunity to submit a teaser – a small portion of an upcoming chapter. Alas, sometimes a teaser reveals too much about the chapter, other times it doesn't elicit the readers' attention enough.

How would you describe "the perfect teaser?"
The answers have been provided by some great readers and writers on “A Different Forest,” a wonderful place to discuss fanfics.
Length“A couple/few paragraphs long that leave me intrigued/dying for the chapter to update. Sometimes...
