Don’t worry about it!:) That happens to me all the time when trying to edit a post XD
I’m so ecstatic to hear that the tips were so helpful!! 😀

@writerlexi1216

A few times? I take my hat off to you then because it took me much longer than that to figure it out and I had the whole novel’s knowledge behind me XD But yeah, I’ve been enjoying the series (even if I’m enjoying it out of order), and tbh the only reason I’m getting any reading done is because my dog gets me up at about v…[Read more]

It looks really good! I’m so glad to see that the format is easier to read and the grammar mistakes have been fixed. Specific advice; I would suggest that when the mom says her first line, you wrote ‘she said’ instead ‘she groaned.’ Sometimes simplicity is your best friend! 🙂

@madelyn

They don’t exactly solve the problem, but they definitely give me a fresh perspective on how to fix the problem! Thank you!

@elanor

It’s really cool how you world build! Unfortunately, it’s something I lack a lot when it comes to writing. I’m getting better at is as I go along, but I tend to just focus on everything about characters, metaphors, theme, and all the philosophical stuff of the story. XD Though I absolutely love stories with immersive and complex…[Read more]

Yes, only princesses can compete in the trials. All of those are very interesting ideas, and although there aren’t any physical judges, she could definitely show up as an honored guest or a trainer. Thank you for the help! 🙂

@lydia-s

Yeah, I’m writing my first 18 year old character and her boyfriend proposes to her towards the end. I’m looking forward to writing it!

@nanisnook @keilah-h AHHH I totally forgot to send the list to you guys! I’ll do that soon! So sorry 🙁

@lewilliams

They’re not in any one particular kingdom, they’re sort of at an ‘in-between’ point. The tournament area is on an island away from the main kingdoms. But she could probably get away with going to visit and then ends up trapped on the island with the princesses. Maybe.

@elfwing

Thank you, that does kind of help, but she’s actually 18, not a ‘child.’ And she believes that refusing to rule would be considered treason.

That helps me with background for another character, though, so thanks! 😀

@ariel-f

Hey, Ariel! My name is Evelyn, I’m 14, though I’m turning 15 in a few months. I’ve been writing seriously since around 2017, and I’m working on a sci-fi/fantasy novel set in a whole other world.

I am also a Christian but I go to public school. I love cats, music, swimming, reading, and of course writing. I mostly write romance and…[Read more]

Hey, Anika! I was actually just listening to your podcast when I saw this, it’s really interesting. 😀

1. I think one of the best ways to make dialogue less choppy is by developing your characters’ individual voices. Consider character ages, personalities, ethnicities, religions, etc. All of these factors contribute to character voice.…[Read more]

Ah, no worries, happens occasionally xD
