7. People, check that:<br />

- Someone have not accidentally changed name through the story.<br />

- That it in every situation is clear to the reader which person it is about at the moment.<br />

- Each person looks the same throughout history.<br />

- All persons are described in different ways.<br />

- That the character and personality traits that you want to front for each one are clear enough from the<br />

descriptions.<br />

- Every person isdescribed with just enough details so their character is visible for the reader. Everybody,<br />

or even not a single one, doesn’t need to be described by appearance.<br />

8. Events, check:<br />

- That there are motives to include each one of the events described in the text.<br />

- The length of the descriptions of the events. Pay particular attention to ensure that important events are<br />

not only been swept away in a couple of sentences. Or that there is a lot of unnecessary descriptions in<br />

the middle of an exciting event, which makes the reader lose momentum.<br />

- The course of events seems credible.<br />

- That it is possible to understand what is happening.<br />
