This guy sounds fascinating!  His backstory is awesome, and he sounds like a genuine character.  For likeability, you could:

1)  Give the MC and Ridley something in common (a hobby, a genre of music, a favorite food, etc)

2)  like @elfwing said, moments of vulnerability.  That would make the reader open up to him really fast…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I know you said most recent, but looking at my books, I’m going to go with the third most recent book I read, Lost Stars by Claudia Gray.

It’s a Star Wars book I bought ages ago but never got around to. Glad I finally did, though. I liked how it was slightly cleaner than most YA out there. I did not like how I failed to see that…[Read more]

@maryg3 I just meant like planning out blog posts ahead of time, writing them ahead of time, etc. It’s always easier to be on top of that and knowing what content you’re going to publish on your blog ahead of time than scrambling for ideas lol. I don’t know if Wix has this feature, but with WordPress it’s nice to be able to write and schedule…[Read more]

That’s so exciting, @maryg3! I’d recommend figuring out who your target audience is, and writing on topics that interest them. I definitely think it’s important to have a home page, blog page, contact, and about page at least. I also recommend doing some branding work, like figuring out your blog’s mission, target audience, plan content, and also…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Thank you!

@gracie-j *honestly doesn’t know because hasn’t read that much Jane Austen*

@writerlexi1216 *stretches* Hngh…right now I’m currently serialising one of my works (finally!) and now I’m working on the backlog for something else for Crazy Writing Week… Also working on a short story but at the same time I kind of want to write something else…I don’t know what though. Oh, and Thirteen Ways, of course. For once I’m on schedule.

@precious-y I would say my villain is a central character, though right now I have the POVs of the villain, the hero, and the villain’s friend. There’s a lot more characters than I anticipated, ha… Maybe this will be longer.

Hmm….villain character development… Kingdom Pen has a lot of great articles on them! Since your characters are…[Read more]

@zatara Oh, I like beginning and ending stories. When I start a story, I almost never know where it’s going to go, except with maybe a mental image of the end, and when I end it, it feels so bittersweet, like I’m saying goodbye to a friend.

@will_starke I don’t really watch other stuff on YT besides piano, lol, so do give me a link. It would be mighty helpful to me.

@imwritehere1920 Heh heh, so it seems.

@will_starke You still didn’t drop your YT link, dude.

@elfwing Perhaps, perhaps. Heh.

@elfwing Beautiful. Too bad mine already have. Several times. On a day-today basis.

@gracie-j Yes. You are that obvious. *tries to think up suitable 1700’s romance novel to compare to*

@kathleenramm Mm…I don’t think that watching movies and reading other books really are considered something different, ha… But after my teacher died my writing changed a lot, I think.

@keilah-h

This is a great drawing. I love how it’s a social commentary on the state of current society. People nowadays wear a flashy, flamboyant demeanor (which you depicted as the colorful clothing), but deep down inside, everyone is just dull and empty on the inside (and you used the gray face to represent that).

I spent a few hours pondering…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Pfft, I don’t mind. It was much more refreshing than people saying out of the blue “oh yeah, by the way, I like pineapple on pizza” or “I can’t stand this heathenistic ritual”. At least he acknowledged me, ay?

I feel like we’ve been stealing each other’s welcome questions for a long time now, lol. But isn’t that…[Read more]

@will_starke

YOOOO, wassup pal?! Glad to have you back, man. @gracie-j has been looking everywhere for you.

I srsly thought you got trapped in a cheeto factory. Those things are impossible to get out of…

Don’t you think that was a lil rude to @devastate-lasting? I mean, pineapple on pizza isn’t thaaat bad y’know?

@devastate-lasting oh, so…[Read more]
