Cool. I write a bit of historic fiction/novels also. Just for fun.

My general rule is “does it sound right?”

Sometimes you can read it and it ‘looks’ OK, but you read it aloud and it just doesn't sound right.

That's exactly what I go by. I read my manuscripts outloud. I have a definite rhythm to my writing. I can hear it and tell it's not correct.

I write alternate history. Change one event in history and go from there.

I actually got published. Surprise! Surprise!

If I can get published, I bet you can do.
