@that_writer_girl_99 @shannon Actually, I just came up with a story idea I’m pretty excited about. It just remains to be seen whether all the plot threads will tie together, but I’m pretty sure they will.

Any other ideas? I’m not coming up with anything that’s clicking.

I agree with @daeus. It is important to make sure that your character’s voice has personality and that the personality stays consistent throughout the narrative.
