Thanks so much for watching! I hope you found this video on the most common writing mistakes when writing your children's book helpful. Here's to your very own story.

"I learn so much from every video," said Pam 🙂

[@EeviJones]

What a wonderful compliment, Pam! Thank you so much!

[@Guy-db5jj]

Your content is amazing! as a newbie to writing and formatting you explanations are golden compared to other video's I have viewed. Bravo!!

[@EeviJones]

That's so, so wonderful to hear! Thanks so much for your kind words!

Excellent advice, Eevie. One small caveat when using true-rhyme and near-rhyme wording is being aware of argot and accent. In some parts of the world, the word "past" is pronounced "p-ass-t" others pronounce it as "p-ah-st" [that's how I say it], others say "p-ess-t". A writer might fall foul of an accent accident if writing for publication in a different nation. I live in Australia but I will publish in USA and UK, too. Thus, choosing the better, all-round compatible word rhyme is paramount for understanding. On that note, meanings of words vary dramatically internationally, so be cautious of assumptions that your real intention is what is being implied, and not that the unrealised meaning has been inferred. Sorry, I went into lecture mode again. I love your work!

[@EeviJones]

These are excellent additions, Tobias. Thank you! And thank you so much for your kind words!! I so appreciate you!
