The original video: 7 Common Mistakes New Writers Make: • 7 Common Mistakes New Writers Make
The 8 Mistakes:
1) Thesaurus madness
2) Character Soup
3) Scenes that don't move the plot forward
4) Tense shifting
5) POV shifting/head hopping
6) Overly formal language/not using contractions
7) Not sharing your work/having CPs/learning to take constructive criticism
8) Not killing your darlings
Note: in the contractions section, I mention how you can start a sentence with a conjunction--I didn't say it, but that's obviously an aside, rather than my confusing conjunctions with contractions haha.
