Oops sorry. I put away the file and closed the link for this project because I wanted to keep my focus on my WIP (which I’m thinking of getting some reviews for as well). But I’ll still like to know your thoughts this! The link should be working now. Thanks!

valtmy replied to the topic How should I continue this? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 6 years, 7 months ago
Hmm… yes maybe that will work. I was planning on having a more sweeping epic but maybe a tighter story might suit the premise better. Thanks!
Sure no problem.

I have a problem.
I tend to start off writing well but I have trouble deciding how to continue my stories. This causes me to get stuck and saps away my motivation to write. For my WIP, I have been trying to see if outlining will help but outlining is hard when I’m not sure how I want my story to go.
So just to try something new I’m putting one…[Read more]

@introvert_girl Can i just hop in? 🙂
I’ll tag @kaya-young (sorry if you’ve already been tagged)
Would your current WIPs MC rather fight one horse-sized duck, or fight ten duck size horses? (very deep philosophical question here 😛 )

And what on Taranar happened to this topic?!
Would your character rather take a train to a faraway place so he/she can enjoy the ride and look at the beautiful scenery, or just use a portal to get to the faraway place instantaneously to save all that time? (Assuming these are the only two options he/she has)
The Doctor would rather take the…[Read more]

Great news! So even after that horrible job interview, they have contacted me and told me that they’re keen to take me on! 😀
It’ll still be a while before they can make an actual offer so I’m still praying about it and there are other positions that have also sparked my interest so I’ll still need G…[Read more]

The GIF-Hiders: An Easter Story

“Wild troll-things?” Jenna wondered to herself as she soared on Kai’s back through the night.

Several minutes later, she was at the edge of the Vivid Green forest, the largest wood on the island. The ankle-high grass shone white under the radiant, full moon (whic…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic Any Advice on an Ever-Evolving Theme? in the forum Plotting 6 years, 9 months ago
@Jane-Maree Yeah, I think what I’m going to do is set a couple of days (or weeks, or even a month) aside to really figure out where I’m going with this thing, and clear up all the “figure it out when you get there” moments. As Elizabeth noted, I think I’ve been pressuring myself to be perfect and get this sorted right away. Now I all I want to do…[Read more]

Okay so I’ve never written a book, let alone a children’s one! (Even though I have a concept I’d love to be a children’s book.. but ehem)
So if it sounds like I’m spirting nonsense please disregard it and move on to the advice of other wiser kapeefers!Firstly I like what Ingrid said about kids being visual. (Though i’m not…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Review my (old) story's prologue in the forum Novel Critique Requests 6 years, 9 months ago
Hmm… What I can think of that might help you get yourself more into writing descriptions is to describe things in your POV character’s voice (unless you’re writing in omniscient) so that it shows character as well.
Avoid boring and cliche descriptions and make those sentences just as snappy and quotable as your dialogue. Use…[Read more]

@introvert_girl I haven’t read all of the answers, so I’m sorry if this has already been said. My advice is that you may want to add more of the characters emotions in there. I used to just go right into the story without much emotion added in, but I know that girls at least, connect with characters nearly immediately whenever there’s…[Read more]
