Hey nerds! Let's clear up the air about some confusing words.

So “atleast” is not a word. The correct version is “at least.”

“At” is a preposition denoting a particular time, place, date, state of being, or condition. The word “least” is an adjective. People may also say “at the very least,” which means the same as “at least” with a tad more emphasis.

Someday is an adverb. It refers to future events that will occur at an indefinite time. Here is an example: Someday I will invest in a new laptop, but until then I will make do with the old one.

Some day- We have an adjective (some) and a noun (day). Some means “unspecified” in this context. When it describes day, it means a single day that is unknown or unspecified. Let’s clarify with an example:

I have a doctor’s appointment some day next month.

Sometime: Adverb When you use sometime as an adverb, it refers to an unspecified point in time. It doesn’t refer to a span of time—that’s what some time is for. Example 

I’ll get around to finishing that book sometime.

Some Time: Two Words

When some time is two words, it refers to a span of time. In fact, it often means “a long time.”

For some time, humans have known that the world is round.

Sometimes: One Word

Sometimes is a one-word adverb that means “occasionally” or “now and then.”

Sometimes I just don’t understand what that man is saying.

Hey nerds!  A lot of times while editing I encounter this mistake of 'me and I'. It does get a little bit confusing, doesn’t it? Here’s a trick to know which one you should use. Whenever you are having trouble deciding which one to use in a particular sentence,  take out the other person, and it should be clearer.

Hey nerds! In today's episode, I give you a few pointers to start writing the story you have been dreaming of writing for long.

Once you listen to the episode, you can join my Guided Writer's Group for daily motivation, keeping up with your writing deadlines and any sort of help you might need if you get stuck while writing.

All I ask for is a synopsis and an outline. A synopsis is:

The synopsis is a short, lively overview of your novel. It sits alongside the opening of your novel and your agent pitch letter in your pitch package, and it lays out the complete narrative arc of your plot.

Also, you should be able to complete this:

My story is a [genre] novel about [theme]. It’s told from [perspective] and is set in [place and time period]. It follows [protagonist], who wants [goal] because [motivation]. But [conflict] doesn’t make that easy, putting [stake] at risk.

If you are ready for this and serious about finally writing your book, send me the synopsis, outline and this statement at [email protected]

Hey nerds! In the last episode, I read a chapter from Go by Kazuki Kaneshiro, Takami Nieda.
