@joy-caroline Ah okay! Maybe you can make like the mom have a scene where she’s thinking about her kids or something and sees the brother and thinks that he’d be the same age as her own son…or something…maybe he looks like her husband…something like that…

@larchness My fantasy saga consists of thirteen series that are interconnected, so I think it fits pretty nicely XD

@writerlexi1216 Lennox would rather walk on his hands.

@nova21 Laurel would choose city.

Would your character rather be a solo artist or in a band?

@joy-caroline

Oooh, LOVE THIS IDEA!! I’ve actually done something quite similar once in a story. (Well, I had planned it. Sadly, that story never made it past the first book so I didn’t get to write it. *pouting* But I had a few ideas that might help!) If you wanna hint it, you could try dropping clues like pointing out if they had some physical…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Did you say never find out? Oof…uh…definitely physical features should be key. And maybe mannerisms. Other than that I’m not sure…are their parents still alive?

@writerlexi1216, @devastate-lasting

Seia would rather jump around everywhere.

Would your character rather live off-the-grid or in the middle of the city?

@kathleenramm

I love that!!  Thanks so much!!  I especially like #9.  I can put scenes in every category that you and @erinrramm mentioned, so we’ll just see if I can put it into word form!!! 😃

@godlyfantasy12

I feel you–I’m a huge perfectionist!!!

Great idea!

@abigail-m

Thanks!!  That looks awesome, thanks!!!

Ikr?  A great example of a really good first chapter is from the Hunger Games.  I don’t know how she does it!!! 😃

@godlyfantasy12

Those look great!!  (ur nails are so cute btw 😉)

@godlyfantasy12

yass girl!!!!  Keep it up!!  (Next time can you buy me a caramel frappé and ship it to me? 😋 jk)

@abigail-m

that’s a great idea!!!!!  I think I’ll try that.

@godlyfantasy12 Ooh nice! I’ll have to check out Canva’s bookmark feature sometime. (Not that I use bookmarks often…I use whatever piece of paper is closest to me lol)

@godlyfantasy12 These look really great! How did you make them?

@abigail-m
Whoa, that’s actually awesome that you’re gonna go a few days without internet!!! I’m gonna shamefully admit I’m not sure if I could do that. XD Anyway, that’s perfectly alright!! I LOVE THESE QUOTES TOO SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! They’re VERY inspiring!!! <33

I hate having to say this because I just began the daily writing quotes, but I most likely won’t be able be able to post the daily quote for about three days. (Turns out, when you go into the wilderness, you don’t get internet connection;)

But for anyone who reads the daily quote, I’m posting three here and hopefully I’ll be able to get on trac…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Thanks:)

(It’s one of my favorites).

@nova21

Oh and btw, I completely understand about writing a first chapter that seems awful. I’m rewriting my novel and I’m basically starting from the second chapter, because every time I attempt chapter #1, it always comes out terrible.

@nova21

Your first chapter outline is extremely interesting!
Kingdom Pen has a really great article that has helped me a lot and covers just about everything on first chapters that I can think of:

@godlyfantasy12

Okay!! YUM!!! That actually sounds SUPER DELICIOUS!!

@abigail-m

AAHHH I LOVE THIS QUOTE!!!!!!!!! <33
