Ooo I think @otherworldlyhistorian had a really good idea. I’m not sure how your series is formatted to work, but if possible I would totally agree that maybe you should make a different book the “first” one in the series. There is such a thing as a prequel, so you could totally come back to your current first book and work on it later, after the…[Read more]

Thanks!! 😄

I know, I just love all my ships so much. XD 🥰

Also, if you want to rewrite, save all of your old book and start again. Then you can take pieces from your old book and put new in, I find that the easiest. Or you could add new parts to your old book!

@godlyfantasy12

I felt that same way, I just could not write anything that seemed good in my book and everything I wrote seemed dumb or boring (Im just writing one book, not a series) So I got a bit mad and to stay motivated I started to write right in the middle, where I wanted to start because I just knew what was going to happen. Then from…[Read more]

Day 10: Falling asleep on their shoulder (I’m gonna do two different ships for this one)

Ship: Fynn and Callista (in this story, they’re around the ages of 16-18)

Fynn watched the waves crawl up the sand, then recede back into…[Read more]

Ev

Ev took a seat beside Falon. He gave her a small smile. “So, you’re special like some of the other kids at this school.”

In response to her offended expression, Ev shook his head. “No, I don’t mean it in that way. I mean that you’ve got a special… talent. You know what I mean? It’s nothing to be… ashamed of.” He smiled. “I think it…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

So… totally redoing the whole first book sounds like a lot of work. And it is… but it may be worth it in the end. Here’s a few ideas though.

You could always just start writing the first book from the very beginning, but instead of trying to stick with the outline you have, just write. Pants your way through the first draft and i…[Read more]

Ev

Falon picked up one of the foam balls and threw one at Ev. He stepped back and his jaw dropped, pretending to be greatly offended. He bent down and grabbed one as well. He tossed in around in his hands, then shrugged and slowly walked away, keeping an eye on Falon from the corner of his eye.

She seemed a little confused at first, but…[Read more]

Ev

“It looks like we’re playing dodge ball,” Falon pointed out. “Are you very good at it?”

“I think so,” Ev said with a shrug. “I’m good at throwing the balls but dodging,” he chuckled. “I guess it depends on how good the people who are chucking the balls at me are. Are you good at it?”

I’m in!

@ancancello Thank you 😊 💕

Ev

“I’m the best hitter on the team,” Falon said, clearly proud of her accomplishment. They turned the corner to the door of the gym. “I can’t wait to see your talents in action.” She smiled cleverly.

Ev grinned. He pushed open the door and let Falon walk through first. “Woah,” she said, looking around.

Ev stood beside her and put his…[Read more]

He is actually a terrible singer. Not that he sings a lot, but yeah, he doesn’t sing very great at all. XD (though I considered giving him a wonderful singing voice. 😂)

For number three… well…[Read more]

@euodia-vision

Hm…

I think I’m gonna go with number….

Three. Yeah. Number 3

@godlyfantasy12

Ooooh… um…

This is hard…

Imma go with… (Agh I don’t know what to choose!!!)

🤔 Ok ok. My answer is number 2!

@mineralizedwriting

I haven’t read the Story Embers books, but I’ve always loved the movie. Like you mentioned, it always had this mystery and “awe” feeling surrounding the whole world and story.

It’s interesting how you bring up the sequels being a let down, as I think creativity plays a part in why so many sequels fail to hold candle to the…[Read more]

@esther-c

Totally! Look forward to reading your thoughts.

@thearcaneaxiom

“Not that a story about a space rabbit that can make trombone noises can’t be interesting if written well, but simply that you’ll often find at this point that everything else has been sacrificed to make the story unique. This isn’t creativity at all, but the oppos…
