Just be careful how much you take from books like the ones from Simon R. Green. I'm not saying original, since most things aren't these days, but still must be made highly interesting with a good plot and characters. Cheap knock-off's probably won't do so well for publication. But there's nothing wrong with using the word "OtherWorld" as a place holder till you think of something more unique.
My personal suggestion about grammar is that it's probably easiest to learn by reading more books--any books, not just instruction books. And be wary of word processors spell check. If you don't have a decent grasp on grammar it may make changes to things you didn't want and think it's correct. |
