      Haha, yeah, that was a really hard part for me ’cause I don’t normally write about the whole “teenage experience” either. XD

        @issawriter7 Not yet but hopefully once I get home I’ll get some done. I’m gonna be getting a Caramel Frappe from McDonald’s and some chocolate chip cookies. The perfect writing snack combo lol

          With WIPs, I usually have one that is my main focus (where I put all my resources, researching, energy, etc into) then I have a few that I work on when I need a break from my main WIP. This method might not be for everyone, but it’s worked very well so far.

                      So I’m just wondering if any of you have any tips for this very specific plot question I have. Do any of you have any idea how to write about two siblings (older brother and younger sister) who meet and don’t know they’re siblings, and never find out? How do you clue the reader into the fact that they’re siblings without the characters themselves discovering it?

                      (Btw this is NOT for Paul and his sister. They definitely know they’re siblings 😂 This is for two of my other characters.)

                        @joy-caroline Perhaps do some sort of prologue at the beginning of your book? Or you could drop subtle details, maybe like similar mannerisms and physical traits that your reader will catch but your characters won’t.

                          Ooh, similar mannerisms! That sounds like something to think about, thank you!

                            @joy-caroline Did you say never find out? Oof…uh…definitely physical features should be key. And maybe mannerisms. Other than that I’m not sure…are their parents still alive?

                              I agree that similar mannerisms is a very good idea. You could also take it a step further and use some of the same words or type of speech when doing the dialogue for them both. For example, they could both use the word “so” or “indeed” often when they speak. For type of speech, they could both ramble on when they speak or use a lot of metaphors.

                                Oooh, LOVE THIS IDEA!! I’ve actually done something quite similar once in a story. (Well, I had planned it. Sadly, that story never made it past the first book so I didn’t get to write it. *pouting* But I had a few ideas that might help!) If you wanna hint it, you could try dropping clues like pointing out if they had some physical similarity. Like maybe they both had a rare eye color. Or something like that. If you want the reader to pick up on a clue, keep giving it to them or many clues that point to it. Eventually, they’ll pick it up. They know when something you mention is supposed to be important! I really hope this helps!!!

                                  Yes, they never find out, haha.

                                  Their parents are still alive (at least their mother; I haven’t decided whether a father is going to play a role in the story or not). Maybe I should give some more context and add that they are both very young children (under ten years old). The brother is adopted by different parents, the biological parents having abandoned him years ago. But the sister is still living with the biological parents.
