Reminder! We’re planning to smash that record into the dust at 5 EST/4 CST/3 MST/2 PST.

@esther-c

1. Were you drawn into the story right away?

Yes, I think Ev’s immediate snarkiness and Ami’s responses just show what kind of book it’s going to be XD

2. What are your first impressions of these characters? (Specifically the MCs. I know some of y’all already know these charries, but just pretend this is the first time you’re mee…[Read more]

@esther-c Wow! I really like it so far! It pulls you in really well, and I like the cliffhanger type chapter endings. I’ll try to answer the questions!

1. Were you drawn into the story right away?

Yep!

Okay, I really have been working on this chapter a bunch, and I would like to know you’re guys’ thoughts! I know some of you guys have read this chapter, but I was wondering if you had any…[Read more]

@esther-c

Girl I love Ami and Ev!!! I love Ev’s personality, I wish I had a friend like him XD

1. Were you drawn into the story right away?

I kind of agree with Min, it seemed really abrupt, and I was a little confused at first. But the action also made me want to see what happened next, so it drew me in, but only because I was confused and…[Read more]

@esther-c

Thanks for giving specific question, it really helps!

Answering as if I’ve never heard your writing before XD

1. Were you drawn into the story right away?

I was confused as to why the story had so much action before a exposition. It felt like information overload on many things, and I couldn’t tell what was important. Should, I think…[Read more]

@esther-c

Idk…I just feel like that way has much better writing and is just more emotional XD

if I’m being completely honest here… sometimes hooks are overrated…. 👀😂

lol!

@esther-c

I may answer all your questions later, but for now, I am drawn into the story.
BUT
I see potential for this story to be better if you had at least one chapter before this that introduced us to daily life with the Orb. It would drawn me in more, and make us care about Ev and Ami more than just plopping them and the plot in our laps off…[Read more]

@esther-c

Thank you so much Esther! I’ve been doubting my writing recently and really comparing myself to others, so it makes me happy you like it. I started writing in present tense as soon as I started writing, so after the initial hurdle (it was hard lol, I kept using said) it’s been pretty natural, because I don’t know how write any other…[Read more]

@esther-c nahh he’s fine lol

@whalekeeper bruh

@esther-c @smiley

Tech

This was more awkward than it should’ve been…..

Tech averted their gazes, focusing on the weird fish fritter, and barely noticed when they got up to leave.

He did follow them out to say goodbye, however, and came across a dance class, a group of characters all inside, apparently having fun.

He…[Read more]

@acancello @grcr @hybridlore @esther-c

I’ve been praying about this today…and I just got a strong sense that God wants me to keep the beginning like I had it…like the second link.

I just feel a lot better about the way I had it before. I’m not sure why…I just get anxiety every time I think about starting it that way, and feel immediate…[Read more]

@esther-c Yeah, Liv has blue eyes. She also has blue skin and hair XD

Livia

She heard Fynn say “Aww”, and it was clear who he was talking about. Liv wanted to smack him upside the head.

“He is so annoying,” she rolled her eyes.

“Tell me about it,” Lukas muttered under his breath.

Liv’s stomach came alive with butterflies as they danced…[Read more]

@esther-c

About prologues…I’ve never heard that before! Mine is technically a first chapter, so should I just erase the label of “prologue”?? 😂

you’re good!!! You can just read it over on these links. I posted earlier in this thread, or I can send you the Google docs link so you can comment and edit. I can’t send the docs link now because I’m…[Read more]

Okay, guys. I need serious help. My novel is kind of going nowhere…because I don’t know which way to start it!!!

I have two beginnings for my story. One jumps straight into…[Read more]

@esther-c

Livia

She stood there for a moment. “Um…I’m not sure how to do this.”

“Yeah, me neither,” Lukas laughed a little, “I was kind of hoping you would know.”

“Well, I don’t.”

“Oh.”

“We should watch the other people, and maybe we’ll figure it out?” Liv raised an eyebrow, and Lukas nodded.

They studied Fynn and Callista for a good…[Read more]
