Right, so like the first impression they give others. That would be interesting. I think I’d prefer just to write a paragraph from the point of view of someone else, and see how the main character looks from their eyes.

Okay, yeah. That could definitely come in handy for some characters. For me, it’s kind of hard to think of things like…[Read more]

@rae

Wait is that from a prequel/sequel? Nice!

@mineralizedwritings

Oh and as long as the rest  of your book is unique it’s alright to have a stereotypical ending. It’s when your book has a love triangle, America as a setting, and rebels taking down the government. If you can add one factor to really mix it up and make it something totally new, it won’t be considered stereotypical (Is it set…

Something I have heard about in my research about plots is that there’s two separate goals your character has to reach. One of them is said and known about, such as defeating the government, the other is never mentioned but obvious to the reader. Something the character really longs for, a personal goal that is just as i…

I like them! Flamebreaker, Midnight, and Lightshard are my favorites, I think. And the blurb looks good!

@grcr

They look really good!

@jonas

Yeah, I’ve seen questions like that on personality questionnaires like this before. So something like “Makes others feel: intimidated” or sort of like that?

@loopylin

I love the vibes! 🥰😍 Pretty… you should do more. Post more. Seriously.

Oh, when did that happen? Purely out of curiosity.

@loopylin @esther-c @euodia-vision @smiley

I also want to!!

Altho I also want to wait a little longer for @godlyfantasy12 – she was really excited for it and planned out the whole thing… ❤️

Maybe before the dance, we shop for outfits? There are so many shops nearby! The whole school could cancel classes today for it!

And some of the boys h…[Read more]

Ooohh nice cliffhanger! XD

@mineralizedwritings

I love it!!

@rae

Of course! You’re welcome anywhere! I usually just pop in and reply to things XD

@smiley

I really like what you did there!!! I’m sorry I made you overthink ❤ But I’m also so glad you took her personality seriously and gave it some thought! Good luck! ❤

@smiley

I really like this idea! I don’t really have any tips for you, but I did like the advice of them renovating a house and the story starting when Eliana receives the invitation to the family get-together!

@fernweh_grace

Not that I know of, though that is a funny idea!

You guys are killing me 🤣🤣🤣

Well, for one thing, the family is a proud family, and there’s always a sort of pressure to do good, and in the kids’ minds growing up, that meant hiding your actual pain (…)

Okay, if the parents have some sort of expectation and there’s some more context, it makes more sense 😝 Thank you!

Because I enjoy writing the aspect of pain in her and als…

so basically all the family has found themselves hiding their grief, anger, and anything else, because that’s kind of their dynamic

and this year was no exception, so when Eliana gets back, all the kids are given orders on topic points they aren’t allowed to bring up (basically her leaving and Thomas’s death)

Payton and Jane hold anger over…
