Thank you!! That means a lot to hear you say!!:) Yeah, Newton is really adorable when it comes to Caira, but the two of them are so shy that it takes them forever to finally confess their feelings to each other (and the fact that Caira is so oblivious when it comes to romance). Aw, thank you! I was hoping that was a likable name. I tried hard to find a surname that fit Newton (I almost wanted a western feel), so I went with Rowne. It’s supposed to be pronounced likeย Roan, but it’s just a variant spelling. Thank you so much for the compliment! I also wanted Newton’s last name to sound well with Caira’s first name, since she ends up becoming Caira Rowne in the future ๐
March 27, 2021 at 10:51 am #96309Okay, #1, thank you so much for tagging me, and #2 OH MY GOODNESS, ABIGAIL, YOU’RE SO TALENTED!! These scenes are amazing–no,ย betterย than amazing, and it only made me want to read more and more and more!!ย I just adore every single word, but I especially love #4, because that imagery was pure perfection! And #2… *shudders* that scene sounds so tense! *proceeds to fangirl even harder overย TSW* Thank you for sharing these (and they weren’t too long at all!), and thank you for tagging me! ๐ Also, special note, I absolutely LOVE #5. Mejia is such a great protagonist/heroine, and I already know I love Filip. *sighs* These are just so good:) (You’re always welcome to post more, if you ever want to ๐ )

The way I see it, it’s just being real. In sharing my first draft, I remember that we all started somewhere and that our writing doesn’t start out perfect, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good either.

Fall in love with JesusMarch 28, 2021 at 1:04 am #96332Yep, I know all about characters taking forever to confess XD But I completely ship Newton and Caira!:) I mean their the best:D
Totally, Rowne is the mostยlikableยlovablewhat’s the next level up word? Whatever it is,ย thatย is what the name Rowne is. It is literally my new favorite surname of all time!:D
It defiantly has a slightly western-y feel all the while being fantasy-like and classic sounding. I LOVE IT!!! And it looks utterly amazing also. Oh, yes definitely:) It sounds incredible with the name Caira too;)March 28, 2021 at 1:18 am #96333THANK YOU SO MUCH!!:D You know what? I give up on restraining the caps button. XD
But I mean thank you so incredibly much!:) I’m so glad that you liked them:D #4 This is actually where the villain is informally introduced into the novel, but Mejia never sees him. Three cheers for omniscient! XD Thank you, I glad that you liked the imagery so much:D
#2 *also shudders even though I wrote it* yes, thatย isย a pretty tense scene:) #5 Thank you!! (even though I’ve said that *counting times I’ve said it* nearly five times thus far, I seriously mean it).
I’m glad you liked them so much! I was worried that they were pretty rough, but I am super happy you thought they were good:) I hope to post more if I can find some and ditto if you ever want to post any too, (because if you don’t mind my fangirling for ages about them) I’d LOVE to read yours too:)March 28, 2021 at 6:09 pm #96364Of course, Abigail!! ๐ Haha, yeah, that darn caps button is just too much of a temptation… and exclamation points. Those are a temptation too, unfortunately. Yes, I did! Oooh, interesting! Yes! *cheers* XD Yeah, definitely! I love descriptive imagery in writing, and you nailed it there! (See? I told you I have an issue with exclamation points… that’s #7 so far…) Haha, relatable–I shudder at things all the time even though I wrote it :\ No, they weren’t rough at all! I loved them, and honestly think you’re super talented with writing! Yay, I’d love to read more! And I just might share a bit more… right after I post my next two chapters, though:)
March 29, 2021 at 12:48 am #96390Huh, it’s not showing up again… I think you have it in your notifications, but I can always re-send if not:)
March 29, 2021 at 6:06 am #96392Yeah, of course you did!!! I’ll try to work on it today if I can ๐ And I’ll definitely send a pic when I make it!:) Thank you so much for saying that! I get so nervous that my writing isn’t good and feel like it needs to be perfect whenever I post, but I guess that’s what improvement and critiquing are all about! There’s still some things that I’m probably going to alter/change a bit, but I still wanted overall feedback! And I tagged you for it, if you’d like to read!! Warning: I have very long chapters, so please take your time XD And that wasn’t a ramble!! It really helped!! ๐
March 29, 2021 at 6:11 am #96393No, I saw it in my notifications ๐ Not to worry! And oh my goodness, I nearly made you cry? I’m so sorry, but also I had no idea it was that meaningful! Yeah, it was going to be pretty sad (especially for Caira) and the epilogue would’ve felt empty without him:( But yes, he definitely is willing to sacrifice himself for her if necessary, and comes close to it a few times (Newton as well). Yes, writers are… well, let me just say you can’t be too careful. And–Wait. WHAT?! WHO IS IT? *panicks* I love your cast of characters so much and already feel heartbroken that one of them dies!! *takes Mejia, Anton, Filip, Morio, and Lila and refuses to let them go until I know who is in danger* Yep, of course! (I honestly say ‘of course’ way too much XD) I appreciate that:)
March 29, 2021 at 6:35 am #96395Okay, so I think this was the reply meant for your post in the ‘Character Chat’ topic XD I got my replies mixed up and accidentally posted this one here, so forgive me. Anyways, I’ll just reply to your other post here as well!
Yes, exclamation points/all caps/XD’s/ ๐ ‘s are just way too tempting to use!!! And of course!! Haha, yeah, the keyboard is just designed too conveniently–I mean, there’s nothing stopping me from putting one hundred thousand exclamation points right now XD And yes, please do!! I’d love to read more!! Oh, that’s understandable–I’m pretty sure I’ll have to sacrificeย
sleeping, eating, socializing with my family, anything at allย a lot of things during NaNo XD *puts fists up* But I’m ready for it!! My family probably thinks I’m a nut, but I want to prove myself with actually finishing a novel. The last time I finished a novel… I was nine? Ten? And it wasn’t very good. So yeah, NaNo is exciting/scary all at the same time.YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (OH MY GOSH I JUST REALIZED YOU CAN HOLD DOWN THE EXCLAMATION POINTS BUTTON AND IT KEEPS PUTTING THEM) That’s the most dangerous thing ever XD But yes, definitely!!! I mean, don’t expect perfection, obviously, but eeeeek I’m so glad I actually have readers!!! Yay!!!! ๐
March 29, 2021 at 10:04 am #96396@writerlexi1216 From what Ive skimmed over I think Iโm gonna love ur characters too!! (Mainly the guys cuz….ya know lol)

#ProtectSebMarch 29, 2021 at 10:16 am #96398Aw, thank you, girl!!! ๐ Haha, yea, definitely the guys…ย
I have so many boyfriends I’ve lost count XDOh, really? Awesome! November sounds super cool ๐
March 29, 2021 at 11:10 pm #96470Don’t be sorry, it’s a great thing that I’d actually cry at the thought of Deek dying. I commend your writers’ skills, girl:) I mean I can only list about three other stories that did that to me, (and tbh two of them were movies).
Yeah, the epilogue just wouldn’t be the same without Deek, (I’ll bet when Caira becomes a Rowne, Deek will be thinking, ‘I knew it,’ the whole time;)
And I just love Deek and Newton sooooo much for being willing to sacrifice themselves for Caira, (and I am equally relieved that they never truly have to ‘:)Yes, sadly one of my immediate cast doesn’t make till the end of the novel. I’m so glad you love them so much that I feel guilty telling you:( It was a difficult role and at first, it was going to be either Anton or Filip (but to be honest, I just couldn’t do it. Besides that, they had irreplaceable roles later on). So although it also breaks my heart, it is Morio. Morio always had a lot of inner conflicts, so though he had officially turned traitor against Mejia, he had a sense of hurt for doing it. Then during his followship under Artur, he helps Mejia once last time before he dies . Yes, it is very sad, (but the longer explanation is even more heartbreaking), even though technically it’s my fault as the writer.
