During drafting that sounds a lot like me, 500 words an hour:)
What keeps me from overthinking? Pretty much the thought that I still have many more drafts to go, so that frees my rein and permits me the fun of messing things up and not worrying about it too much. That and deadlines to keep the words flowing and having other…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I’ve never watched Pirates of the Caribbean, but I’ve been wanting to and wait, the characters get married during a fight? I think I saw the fight during a trailer… was it on a ship and they were being attacked by- I’m not sure what they were actually and were in the middle of a storm? Either way, I have seriously got to see this movie!

@lydia-s

Thank you for tagging me Lydia!

Well, my MCs are always between the 15-17 age range and I have a tendency to make romances very, very, very difficult for them. The proposals I’ve, like you said, gone over for weeks in my head (I love doing that with scenes btw:) will never make it into the writing itself except for maybe a separate doc…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Don’t worry about it!:) That happens to me all the time when trying to edit a post XD
I’m so ecstatic to hear that the tips were so helpful!! 😀

@writerlexi1216

A few times? I take my hat off to you then because it took me much longer than that to figure it out and I had the whole novel’s knowledge behind me XD But yeah, I’ve been enjoying the series (even if I’m enjoying it out of order), and tbh the only reason I’m getting any reading done is because my dog gets me up at about v…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Phew! I am reassured, thank you! I feel more confident about the other ones I’m planning to write lol

I will say that if that kind of proposal appeared in my work it means someone else was writing for me and I will be hunting them down XD

Thanks! yes, I need to work on emotions in scenes to be sure, thanks for the feedback!

@anika123

It looks really good! I’m so glad to see that the format is easier to read and the grammar mistakes have been fixed. Specific advice; I would suggest that when the mom says her first line, you wrote ‘she said’ instead ‘she groaned.’ Sometimes simplicity is your best friend! 🙂

@gracie-j

okay so I am trying to figure out a really good way for my male MC to propose to the girl he loves… I wrote the proposal a while ago

*backstory;  Faeda (main character) is an orphan living on an island under attack, and there is literally a war about to explode at any second, so she’s seeing the troop about to leave (she doesn’t…[Read more]

@madelyn

They don’t exactly solve the problem, but they definitely give me a fresh perspective on how to fix the problem! Thank you!

@lydia-s

yes, she’s amazing with writing, truly gifted!

Yah, I wrote that part about a year ago, and I just went back and read it while listening to ‘The Eagles’ from the Return of the King soundtrack, and made myself cry… “why, Daphne? why did I kill youuuuu?” XD

haha no you make total sense! It sounds epic!!! betrayal of a family… oof its…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Yes, only princesses can compete in the trials. All of those are very interesting ideas, and although there aren’t any physical judges, she could definitely show up as an honored guest or a trainer. Thank you for the help! 🙂

@lydia-s

Yeah, I’m writing my first 18 year old character and her boyfriend proposes to her towards the end. I’m looking forward to writing it!

@lydia-s

Yeah, guys crying makes me emotional XD  I haven’t actually seen it in real life very often, but I didn’t think they were sissy for it.

Lol yessss a good scene with people crying adds sympathy to the hurting character, totally. Someone I know is writing an novel, and the MC’s best friend said, “Crying isn’t weak. Or at least… I hope…[Read more]

@anika123

So I also read your chapters you posted, and I find the plot very intriguing!! It’s well made as far as the actual story, I found it exciting and curiosity invoking!

for improving the sentence structure, I would say to add more motion to the characters, wide eyes can be used for surprise or fear, and raised eyebrow for skepticism, gasp…[Read more]

@lewilliams

They’re not in any one particular kingdom, they’re sort of at an ‘in-between’ point. The tournament area is on an island away from the main kingdoms. But she could probably get away with going to visit and then ends up trapped on the island with the princesses. Maybe.

@iluvhim18

oh ok cool

like i said i don’t know much about the story

glad to be of assistance!

@elfwing

Thank you, that does kind of help, but she’s actually 18, not a ‘child.’ And she believes that refusing to rule would be considered treason.

That helps me with background for another character, though, so thanks! 😀

@iluvhim18

what if she abdicates being queen? is she under 18? you could do where if they’re under 18 a lord protector can rule in the young monarch’s stead? This has happened in European countries with child monarchs…

idk if that is helpful or not…

@ariel-f

Hey, Ariel! My name is Evelyn, I’m 14, though I’m turning 15 in a few months. I’ve been writing seriously since around 2017, and I’m working on a sci-fi/fantasy novel set in a whole other world.

I am also a Christian but I go to public school. I love cats, music, swimming, reading, and of course writing. I mostly write romance and…[Read more]
