@joy-caroline this kinda seems to coincide with my antagonist problem, u may want to go look at the incredible advice some of the girls gave me in that topic. Its one of the recent ones and it’s something antagonist lol

@joy-caroline As someone who generally likes antagonistic characters I like her a lot already! Kind of reminds me of Caleb Trask, one of my favorite characters in all of literature, who is supposed to symbolize Cain. I think as long as you portray all of your above ramble clearly, then you should have no problem getting your readers to like her!…[Read more]

GodlyFantasy12 replied to the topic beta readers needed! in the forum Novel Critique Requests 5 years, 1 month ago
@elfwing could I get some more details?
what the book is about and what it contains (language or violence or things to be aware of), how we’d contact and when you’d need everything. (Also how it all works because I’ve never been a beta reader before, but I’m kinda interested. Obviously I’d have to run it by my parents first)

Hey @akbaer ! Sorry I’m late… Welcome to KP! I am Ella and I love writing dystopian fiction, drinking tea, playing sports, and drawing flowers. And I have an irrational fear of falling into the murky river near our house. *cough* *smiles, wondering if we can still be besties* XD

@godlyfantasy12 I don’t really have much to say, but I have a couple of movies to suggest for @gracie-j .
1) Knives Out. It’s a murder mystery that came out recently, I’d give it a strong PG-13 for language and stuff, but I really enjoyed watching it.
2)Â Batman Begins. Mm yes this one doesn’t have that much of a transition but it’s pretty g…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’ve read other Star Wars books; mainly movie adaptions. There’s this one adaption of The Attack of the Clones that I really liked as a kid.

Haha 😛 I’m a qualified dog trainer and trained dogs professionally before the pandemic and I’d like to get back into it in a few years, I mostly read animal behaviour books to deepen my knowledge. But I do also like reading them for curiosity’s sake.
Hmm… personally I’m not sure what I would have done different. It seemed to me…[Read more]

This guy sounds fascinating! His backstory is awesome, and he sounds like a genuine character. For likeability, you could:
1)Â Give the MC and Ridley something in common (a hobby, a genre of music, a favorite food, etc)
2) like @elfwing said, moments of vulnerability. That would make the reader open up to him really fast…[Read more]

@gracie-j Thank you! As for his POV, no, and that’s some of the issue. How do I get enough of his backstory across thru dialogue and others insight without info dumping and being overly obvious? But thanks glad everything sounds good)

I’ve read mostly nonfiction, animal behaviour books this year which probably isn’t going to be very interesting for ninety nine percent of the KP population 😛 The last fiction book that I read which wasn’t a reread was Wuthering Heights.Â

SO! I could use some tips and help plz!!
In my current WIP, I’ve an antagonist named Ridley who ends up being the murderer (plot twist). The reason this is a plot twist is because he is actually in love with Jocelyn and she with him (it’s one of those they aren’t technically boyfriend and girlfriend but may as well be things). He’s really sweet…[Read more]

Hi Ella! Thanks so much visiting! Glad you like it.
Aww, thanks! We have wild bunnies in our backyard and we feed them during the summer. Sometimes, if you hold really still, and squat down low, they’ll come close enough to take their picture! 🙂 Do you have any wildlife around your house?
That’s awesome! I love trying to take pics of wildlife (but it can be pretty frustrating bc most animals don’t appreciate it 😉) I live in the south so we get a lot of reptilian things… XD Snakes, lizards, even scorpions! Not as cute as bunnies, but still pretty interesting. XD In the mornings on my way to school I often see deer too. And…[Read more]
@nova21
Haha! My mom got a camera awhile back and has been trying to take pictures of our hummingbirds. Yeah, if only wildlife would cooperate!
We live out in the country, so we see snakes and lizards too. One four foot gopher snake just slithered by like nobody’s business, and weirdly, two quail were marching behind him …. why? Not sure 🤷…[Read more]
That’s so cool! That’s hilarious, quail marching behind him? LOL! I know, scorpions are just… freaky. I found a dead one in our pool and I didn’t go in for about a week! XD I don’t think I’ve been able to get a pic of deer bc it’s basically “ooo, look, a deer!” and everyone’s like “where?” then I’m like “nevermind, it’s gone.” XD I will…[Read more]
Yikes! I know, right? One time, I went to our bedroom closet, turned, and BOOM! One was sitting there on the wall! I heard a pastor refer to scorpions as sneaky. Yep. Definitely sneaky!
Haha! Yeah, it’s like that in our family. We’ll be driving along, someone sees a deer, and by then it’s gone. I hope you get that picture someday!
Cool!…[Read more]
Oh that’s terrifying! Thanks 😉
Awesome! My favorite subject last year was geometry and this year I’m really looking forward to biology. I didn’t have a great experience in my literature class but I think this year will be great.
