Katherine replied to the topic How to know if your book should be a standalone or series? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 1 month ago
@joy-caroline I guess it would be if you feel like more needs to be told about the character or the world. Or maybe if the overall story plot needs more room than one book.
I’ll give some examples. For my spy novel, The Black Cat, I feel like one book is not enough to explore my MC. It needs more than one novel to show Delano growing as a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Ooh good question! I am someone who always makes the mistake of turning books into series when they should probably just be standalones. I think one of the ways to tell is to take a look at the scope of the story: if it is big and covers a long period of time with a lot of important events taking place in that passage of time, it…[Read more]

@madelyn Thank you!! Honestly I think my biggest problem is turning off my inner editor, since because I listen to it, I end up adding things that I think would sound good from an editing perspective but that creatively fall flat and sound pretty boring when compared to the fun and unexpected things I’d been writing before. I’ll be sure to keep…[Read more]

@elfwing You did help! Thank you! I think the thing is that I have to probably cut some of these scenes that are bugging me…

Ah, the all too familiar dissatisfaction. This is pain in many forms. This is the point where I would’ve given up a couple years ago XD
But since then I have been taught perseverance! So when I’ve found my idea/theme shifts and am unsatisfied with it, I usually have to go back and read it and really just delete a lot. It hurts so…[Read more]

Hello, everyone! I wanted to ask for some advice about a problem I have with a short story. Right now, I mostly do short stories, but this has been a big problem for me with novels as well.
So, here’s the problem: I’ll usually start a story with a clear idea of the direction it’s taking, the feeling I want the story to have. I’ll follow that…[Read more]

Katherine replied to the topic Have you ever written a story with multiple POV? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 2 months ago
Yes, actually I have written a story with multiple POVs. I did it for my fantasy novel, Behind the Blade, Without the Wings. I switched POVs between the male and female lead. After doing that, I realized that I really like writing multiple POVs, so when I came back to my spy novel, I decided to have multiple POVs in it as well.

@kathleenramm I’m working on a short story by myself right now. I’m thinking it might just be one POV, but it might require me to write two. I’ve been practicing one POV for a while now so I hope I’ll be able to accomplish it effectively XD
@elfwing Oh cool! That’s so interesting that you do that too! It does work really well when you need…[Read more]

Jodi Maile replied to the topic Have you ever written a story with multiple POV? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 2 months ago
@kathleenramm I have written stories with multiple POVs. When I write alone, I usually only have one or two. My first book
that will never be read by anyonehad two or three, and the books I wrote with my sister had up to five, I think. I read a lot of fantasy with lots of POV shifts back then, so I figured I needed more POVs. Truthfully, I…[Read more] -

Mirabelle looked at it nervously, unconsciously moving closer to me, her previous confidence dissipating as she looked at it, confused and nervous.
“Another reflection?”
I shifted my hand over on the kitchen’s island counter next to me, once again grabbing the closest weapon in reach–a rubber spatula. -
