What’s the first paragraph of your book?

So, the first paragraph doesn’t have much info in it since it’s only a few lines, but I’ll share the original first chapter so you can see what I’m talking about. (Hopefully. XD) In a day or two, I’m hoping to have an alternate first chapter written, so I may share that just to see if y’all think…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oof, those are hard questions. For the first one, I get what you mean. I think for the first chapter, an introduction is fine. Personally, I would try to focus on the relationship between Ami and Ev, and his family conflict, because I think that will hook the reader.

Yes, definitely. XDXD

Ok, yeah. I think I already have a few ideas…[Read more]

I’d love some help if you guys have any tips or advice to contribute 👆😊

I don’t want to make a whole other topic for this, so I’m posting my question(s) here. XD

So, I’m having some trouble editing my WIP. (This is not my NaNo WIP. I was ahead on NaNo, so I decided to do some editing today). Originally, the first chapter wasn’t the most exciting. It was more a slice-of-life kind of thing that introduces who one of…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

That’s awesome!! So happy for you! 😊

@jonas

Ok cool. I’ll think about putting in a villain.

Although I do have a few cool villains up my sleeve….

@jonas

Oooh, I like the idea of adding a couple of villains… 😏

I could add in a charrie from Amir’s book named Dabir. He’s basically Amir’s mentor. And I love him. He’d probably see Zahlin and Nahim fighting all the time and be like, “Are you kidding me? Knock it off.” And then they’d probably get really annoyed at him. Especially afte…[Read more]

And how’d your writing sprint go? (I would’ve joined you but I was busy eating dinner. XD)

@savannah_grace2009

I’ll be praying for you!! I totally understand not having motivation. 😅 Right now, I have a lot of momentum, but about the last two months, I didn’t get much writing done because I just kept procrastinating. 😬 I wish I could give you advice, but I don’t think I really have anything expect make yourself write. XD Because that’…[Read more]

Sooo… I wanna share the first two chapters of my NaNo WIP, because, in my opinion, they turned out pretty well for a first draft. 😂 So here ya go! (Don’t mind any grammatical errors. 😁)

Chapter 1

“Amir!”

   “I’m coming, Maman!” Amir’s little feet padded into the room. He jumped onto his bed and ferreted under the covers. “Story time!”

Hedieh

Hedieh’s eyes lit up as she watched the two men begin to fight. Wow, this escalated quickly. Fighting didn’t bother her much, but with these two, it could be much worse than a good-hearted duel.

She glanced down at an old sword lying in the corner. Just in case, she reminded herself, trying to igno…[Read more]

@rae

Ooooh, I’m going to have to read all these charrie backstories you posted and post some of my own later. Looks fun. 😏 And I have a character who has some dark backstory, just have fleshed out all the details yet.

@jonas @rae @highscribeofatherium @acancello @savannah_grace2009 @trailblazer

Ok, so I think I’ve caught up with everything now. XD

(I’m most active during the afternoons, so I think I miss it when y’all are most active. (: )

Oh boy, Hedieh’s at the forge. 🫢 That could be dangerous.

And for swords/weapons and such, in Amir’s actually story, he…[Read more]

@janellebelovedpig @hybridlore @acancello

Thank you all so much!! I’ll definitely keep it all in mind. (:

@whalekeeper

This is a really neat idea!!

Here’s a few of mine: (some of them are kinda similar to each other or are from the same character)

• Accepting the fact that you’re not perfect and you don’t have to be
• Learning that you don’t have to please everyone
• Standing firm in what you know to be true and right, even when those around…
