Greetings, @amy-l-klob!!
How to begin a novel. *scratches chin* Hmmmmmm…
It makes sense why you want to do that! The reader does need to know the background of the protagonist.
I think you should kick off the first chapter like right before the action happens, around the time when the conflict comes in. Like, the protagonist is coming home…[Read more]

Greetings, @catwing! Coming back to an older story! An old flame, eh? (get it? Ok that was some awkward wording…)
@seekjustice I’m all right. Very, very unmotivated though 😛

@dekreel I can’t even remember them all
I read so many of them
I can remember the first one with the dinos
And there was one on the moon, and one in the sea, and one in prehistoric times, and one about the Civil War and one about the revolutionary war and one about Rome and one about Egypt…
And then there the Merlin Missions, which where…[Read more]

@alia It’s going okay. It’s hard not to overuse verbs of being though! My teacher found billions! Personally I don’t find much wrong with verbs of being, but…. *shrug* 🙂
I love it when characters do that! It’s a good change! 😀

@dekreel, I don’t just not like it, I loath it. Though I will have to admit J. K. Rowling is an amazing author. I’ve never actually read any of the books, but I have read parts and @charisetter has told me enough of the story.

@supermonkey42 @sam-kowal What were your favorite Tree House books? I likes that magical saga about… Oh, it was a wand, and they were trying to find happiness for a magician (I forgot his name!) who lived in Camelot. And there were certain rules one had to follow in order for the wand to work.

When I was younger than that, I loved the Magic Treehouse. I mean LOVED them. Also, I read the Boxcar Children a little bit.
And also Narnia! How could I forget…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper You’ve already got loads of good tips so I probably can’t say much more, but all I can would say is, Yes 😀 😀
Totally have two villains, if you like
It can help make things a lot more interesting, although it can be harder to write both at once
If I were you, I really wouldn’t make one half one villain and then switch to…[Read more]
