Glad to be of service!! 😊

Keep us posted on how your story goes! 😉

@godlyfantasy12

What if his goal, instead of proving himself, was to not disappoint anyone (especially Ara)? It runs along the same lines, but instead of a go-getter-take-initiative element, it’s more based in fear and doubt. Especially if he’s been put down his whole life, he might expect failure and be terrified of it in this scenario.

And tru…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Well, one option would be that his goal is to confess to his crush or find a way for his crush to confess to him. Depending on what kind of guy he is.

Another option would be that his goal is to get away from his father. Whether that be earning enough money to buy a place away from his home, or to run away.

He could have both…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Ah, this is embarrassingly late, but here I am anyway! 😉

My drafting process is a bit odd. Generally, I know how the story begins, and I know how the story or even series ends. Random scenes from the middle pop into my head at random times, but most of it is pretty blurry. The story usually works itself out on its own. I just…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Hmmm, fascinating! I love the extra information provided, especially since I’m a person who reads the back of covers just for the fun of it. (It might be a bit long, but that’s okay.)

Only three?! Eeekers! I’ll try. XD

1. First off, this one does seem to better connect to another as a sequel. This feels more like another…

Hey-o!

Ooh, gotcha, November is a cool name for a guy!

Things I like:

1. The description of the circus world (“mystery, neon lights, and a peculiar sort of people”). It gives just enough info to set the mood and peak the reader’s curiosity, but still maintains an air of mystery!

2. How it picks up right after the first story,…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Great question!! Honestly I’m still figuring out new tricks myself, but I typically start with a  Pinterest board and a music playlist. That gives me the aesthetic and character personalities. Then from there I do a bit of rough outlining and figure out the main story line, usually consisting of the beginning, middle, and end of…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I’m a pantser… I cannot plot a book. It just doesn’t work.

So when I begin, basically all I have is a basic idea of what I want to write about, and possibly a vague idea of how the story will end. Then I just write and see how it turns out! xD

I’m not very good at plotting, as you can see.

I think pantsing is totally fine,…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Ooo! Pitches! I love these things.

1.  You wielded your words with accuracy, letting each strike with full implications. This definitely makes me curious about the story itself.
2. The whole thing is imaginative and makes the reader ask some intriguing questions: who died? What is a circus world? What is going to happen? Why are…

@godlyfantasy12

1. I love mystery and unraveling secrets… ugh, so good.

2. And then when you add deceit in there, it becomes a winner. Anything suspenseful like that is the best.

3. And then when you have a clock ticking and they have to solve said mystery soon… *shivers with delicious anticipation*

But…

1. Circus world as in a planet…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I love your pitch!!

Things I like:

1. The whole concept of a “circus world” is fascinating (and getting trapped in one sounds like quite the predictiment ;P), so using that as a hook/attention-grabber worked well 🙂

2. It makes me as a reader want to “pick up the book” ’cause I’m concerned for Ara and November (like whatttt?? T…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Depends. Sometimes I have an idea of where it’s going to go, but sometimes I just have a scene that’s somewhere in the middle, or even the ending. Other times I have no clue what I’m doing and just tell the story. I also make up a ton of stuff with my brother, so he offers his input too.

@godlyfantasy12

I used to totally pants my first drafts. Now I find it more helpful to make a plot outline and scene outlines before I get writing, but I still give myself the freedom to deviate from that outline if I feel like it. That’s just me though. 🙂

@godlyfantasy12

Welp, I love revising. Writing itself is difficult and obnoxious.

Let me rephrase that; I enjoy writing, but I struggle turning off the strong-minded inner editor who then destroys all my work because it’s in first draft stage and therefore terrible. However, as rewriting is my favorite part of writing in general I usually don’t…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Usually I write a beginning, and then I start working on an outline/plot/characters, and usually after I have the outline for all the chapters done, or most of them, enough to keep me busy for a while, I just starting writing each chapter one by one.

@godlyfantasy12

Drafts? Ugh.

First, may I say that what you’re doing sounds wonderful? You are writing it out!!! Keep it up!!!

(Okay, that sounded weird. Let’s see if I can explain myself.)

If we are talking novels, and not poetry or essays, then:

I think. The I write. Then I think some more. Then I start a timeline but never finish it, etc.…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 I guess, I’ve only seen, like, one of those. But my male character is a good deal…tougher than that one was. He’s actually an established Star Wars character, and ex-Imperial, so….yeah, you get the picture.

For some reason, I pair off official fandom characters with OCs a lot.

@godlyfantasy12

I love Phineas and Ferb! And that song with him and Isabella … “What might have been …”

I like writing so many different tropes….

Found family is one of my big ones, especially the character who hasn’t seen his parents since he was young, and thinks they’re dead, and then finds out one or both of them is still alive and goes looking for them. That’s basically the whole premise of my current story…..

Sibling relationships are…[Read more]
