    I tried to do as you say but its not having my second chapter use the heading 1 style. Its only doing it once which is chapter 1 that I have. Doing something wrong?

      Gah, sorry I didn’t get a notification that you commented. You should always be able to highlight the text and apply heading 1 each time. If the style isn’t being applied, maybe you have another one already applied and need to clear the text first. Select the text and click the clear styles button.

    yes - distance and speed are so important - time-zones and the like too! Switching horses and the like too - I almost wrote a book in which people would be landing and doing daytime stuff when their 'real' arrival times would have been in the small hours. If you want to watch dawn break as your plane lands at X then you need to leave Y at the right time - almost every flight needed editing! Having those

    Thank you so much. This is wonderful. It's great to hear from the authors and your questions are great, the sound is great. And you don't have to be a parent for so much of the advice in your episodes - it's just great talk about writing.
