Thank you so much! That helps a lot. I think changing it through her eyes would make it a whole lot better. Also describing her family, is something I was struggling on, also writing who the Walton’s were. After I make some edits and add on i’ll post it again. You have helped so much! Thank you!! 😀

Hi! I’m trying to write a book that I have had the idea for, for sooooo long. And every time I try to start it, I always find something wrong with it. Can you give me your feedback on this first rough draft? I’ts the first little bit of chapter one after the prologue and I personally think its to busy, but I really would like some other p…[Read more]

Also everyone (Sorry to chat so much) 😀 but I was wondering if you would want to (You defiantly don’t have to if you don’t want to ) But I’m writing a historical fiction book and could you just read over it and see if it pulls you in, if you can see it , if it sound real and other things like that! Thanks!

Your really good at description! I just love – Ami melted under the gaze of Ev’s chocolate brown eyes.” “Ev searched her emerald green eyes, trying to understand what she was thinking. Its super sweet!

That little piece of writing you shared is so good! I like how it paints a picture of what the main character is seeing! Here’s a piece of my writing that I wrote recently, it may seem not very exciting- but it is part of a book based off a nightmare I had and it is pretty creepy so I’ll just stick with this 😀

I haven’t thought about it much, probably them choosing the form they like best. I think I’ll change Valxene’s to something more comfortable but that might be what she would “wear” to a fancier occasion or some such thing.
This is the 100 word snippet I wrote for Asykko’s partner (oh, and smokes also have a color – hers is jungle…[Read more]

They’re actually what I imagine them to look like when they’re not possessing anyone, although they do look very similar to their partners – for example, even though Asykko’s partner is a guy he has the same swooping messy bangs, and they have similar clothing styles, etc.
When they are possessing someone, they look like that…[Read more]

Firstly, they’re not human, they’re Smokes – sort of demons? Anyway, smokes can possess people and most smokes have a partner who, when they possess them, it’s undetectable (those symbols on the page next to each of them is the mark that appears when they possess someone other than their partner).
I haven’t done a lot…[Read more]

Another word that just popped into my head is “Somnambulism” which is basically a fancy word for sleepwalking, but it sound more exciting 😀
Also does anyone here know anything about describing people? Do they do it all in one place or do they spread it all throughout the chapter or whole book? I spread it out usually, but then think its better…[Read more]

That is an amazing description!! It defiantly would pull the reader in. I love the description of the blanket, It’s kind of sad and happy at the same time 🙂

@godlyfantasy12I
I have a whole book on crazy words (that I can’t get to at the moment) but I’ll have to share a few on here!
Oooh, great! I’m excited to see some! Also, yes I do love to write description but either I feel like I write to much so that it bores the reader or to little so no one knows what I’m writing about 🙂

I have some drawings I did a while back for the bad guys in my WIP
There are four of them, but I have to send them seperately (I tried sending them all but that did not work)
Sorry that they’re so large, I couldn’t figure out how to make them smaller
Tagging people I’ve seen on this topic so you see:

I’d be willing to! Example: (note, this is from an early draft of my story and doesn’t happen in the current version)
Jannira arrived in Nyxarado city in the late evening, the tracks of the speed-train seeming to glow red in the rapidly fading light. No, wait… The tracks are actually glowing, she realized as the lights along t…

I love this topic idea! I’ve actually been keeping a list of words I like on my phone:
Modicum, Askance, Tenacity, Lexicon, Animosity, Perpetuity, Verbose, Assuage, Insubordination, Machinations, Peripheral, Cursory, Imbecilic, Bequeathed, Proverbial, Wry, Culmination, Vehemence, Fervently, Ostentatious, Echelon, and Indomitable

That’s a good idea! Thanks! I also really like those words,especially jocular, gregarious and magnanimous . I’m going to try to add them into my book!

I just pulled out a “Novel” I wrote a couple years ago based off a dream I had and as I was skimming through it I realized that I needed way more description and bigger words (I felt like I was using the same ones over and over and over …..) And I keep re-reading my current books and realize how much more description I could put in! Does anyone…[Read more]

Wow! What an amazing magic system you have! That is so creative and would be so much fun to read about! Unfortunately my WIP does not have any magic in it, but who knows maybe someday… 🙂 I think the only other magic books I’ve read, were all the Harry Potters which I loved. I think what drew me in was the great description.…[Read more]
