I downloaded a book simply because i liked the look of it and it was a free download.
The number of times a sentence started with, or contained “she,” confused me. Who was the “she” the author referred to?
It took me back to my mentors, Julie Northup and Sahara Foley who, when editing my books, constantly asked me. “who is she?”
Well, it’s the main character I’d say with surprise, because it was obvious, wasn’t it? Nope. Only to me who knew the story and characters well.
I now put it into practice with my own stories all the time. I continue to see it in other books but hadn’t recognised it until it was pointed out. It tended to throw me out of the story, as I hunted back to find out who they were referring to.
Another word my mentors picked up on was my use of the word ‘it’. Constantly they’d say, “what’s it?”
Well it’s the subject I’m talking about. But that can be subjective unless you actually say the word you mean. So I’m always careful now to use it correctly.

I agree it’s important to be clear as to who or what the pronoun is referring to. On the other hand, I find it very annoying when the character’s name is constantly repeated. Readers are not stupid, they know who you mean. Especially if he/she is the only person in the scene. And then there’s dialogue. “Please don’t go there, Amanda.” “Let’s go to the store, Amanda.” “Have a cookie, Amanda.” Who talks like that? These things are often caught in the self-editing process and I’m as guilty as the next person.

You’re right about that. It’s certainly about balance and you really have to think about how clear it is. Having the name constantly repeated is very annoying.
