To be honest, reading in your genre is one of the first “rules” of good writing, partly so you’ll understand what readers expect and partly so you’ll know what’s out there (major themes, tropes, etc.) and avoid repetition. So yeah, you might want to start there.

Yep… I know… I just really need to do it. 🤣 (And I’ve read in like ev…[Read more]

Awesome!!

@joy-calle

I’m so sorry, but I won’t be able to write an article for your blog. 🙁 I wish I could, but I really need to focus on school and my WIP right now. Thanks for tagging me though! Maybe I’ll be able to do it in the future! 😊

(Btw, @princesachronicle22, I love your wheelie chair!)

Will everyone heed to this warning?

Are there people amongst us who do not question, but instead answer? Who are they? Will they not show themselves from their secret places? Them who call themselves the Statemecists? Will you heed to their faulty extreme ideologies? Will you join them, or will you stand with me to end such…

I know nothing about dystopia, and it looks like you’re getting some good answers already. But one thing I would suggest regarding Len’s title is to take a look at other books in your genre and see what the standard practice seems to be. If fans of dystopia are used to this type of character having a title, they’ll probably expec…

Zyrin stood, holding out a hand to help Jocelyn up. “Well, uh, maybe we could help you look for your friends?”

She smiled and nodded, and accepting his hand, though her furry companion didn’t look too happy about it.

I stood up as well, quirking my lips at the small creat…[Read more]

I have ranted multiple times. 🤣

@thearcaneaxiom

Thanks for the trophy! XD

You earned it. 😉 😂

A few questions. Is this earth, or a different planet with a similar history. Did you give the nation the name Aletheia out of irony? Aletheia means truthful and revealing, but it’s a nation that has been trapped by the Orb, closed off, hidden, within a lie. Perhaps for those that c…

Buuuut as far as the first question goes… you could have his parents killed for seeking peace? But Len doesn’t know that they were seeking peace, just that their “enemy”, whoever that may be didn’t like their motives? (I’m trying to figure out how to explain what I’m picturing XD) But like, all Derek wants is peace throughout th…

@kyronthearcanin

Len’s parents could have been involved in some kind of dangerous or just forbidden movement, but I’m not sure exactly how that would fit into your plot. Or maybe they were killed by members of that movement/society. If they were members of the society, then Len’s redemption arc could have something to do with figuring that out,…

Me and my fam finished it two nights ago and I’m obsessed now lol. Haha, your family sounds a lot like mine! We all love Star Wars.

Yeah, the originals are definitely really good. I love the prequels too tho. Really any of them with Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan lol.

@mineralizedwritings

Meaningful characters are hard to write, especially if they aren’t the MC. Depending on their personality, they will be meaningful in different ways. So here are some tips that I hope will be helpful 😁:

1. Give clues to the reader that Layson is important. With side characters, some are important and some aren’t. You gave…[Read more]

Aren’t big families super fun? You’re “violin-squeaking,” huh? I fiddle around with that instrument too, hoping to learn mandolin or dobrolin sometime.

Yes, they are. 😊

Yep! Lol. I play violin, it just doesn’t always come out sounding pretty. 😜

Cool!!

My favorite vacation spot would be Walton’s Mountain Lodge in CO. 14 year…
