That sounds good, I’m glad you were able to get a clear answer from God! I agree, I think it still definitely works even without the shorter beginning. And even if it does turn some readers away, it’s going to touch the people God wants it to. 🙂

Thats totally ok, go with what God wants you to do! The second chapter eased you more into the action which is also a very good type of introduction😊
I kind of am still a little worried that nobody will like it the other way XD
Dont worry, I do! Think of really popular books like Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling didn’t jump right…[Read more]

Yes, but they probably would have called it courting back then. That’s why Libbie was so upset with Etta to start off with, because Etta started seeing Chester without telling her what was going on. And Etta had already known that Libbie had a crush on Chester.

Here ya go, while I’m here I might as well give you more.
As the winter thawed into spring, I knew it was time to make things right. I crossed the fields to the Cullivers’ house, and as I approached, I saw Etta’s petite figure working in the garden. She didn’t hear me coming until I was about ten feet away.
“Good day, Et…[Read more]

No problem!
And don’t worry about if people like the intro! If God is telling you how it should be, He’ll give you the readers and all too!! 🙂☺️

Sounds good! The second was good too!! It’s always better to listen to what God tells you over all other advice!! 😊

About prologues…I’ve never heard that before! Mine is technically a first chapter, so should I just erase the label of “prologue”?? 😂
You do whatever you want, girl, it’s your story. XD
I had actually never heard that before, but it kind of makes sense. I think some writers also use prologues for info-dumping. I’d rather have…[Read more]

Ok so in this RP I say Liv has blue eyes, but correct me if I’m wrong. 😂
Lukas
Lukas found he couldn’t take his eyes off Liv’s face. He tried, but somehow, he found himself drowning in the crystalline pool of her blue eyes.
“Aww.” He heard a whisper pass by him. He blinked and looked behind him, only to see Fynn dance awa…[Read more]

First of all, I love your writing!!
Second, my actual answer to your question. XD Ok. So I think I prefer the first one better. Though I do have an opinion on prologues… I heard an author (who had been writing since forever) say that he doesn’t like prologues because typically writers use them as a way to draw readers in bef…[Read more]

Of course! Sorry, I think my last post lagged. I really like your idea of doing the flashback and then going to Lilitu’s pov, though!

-GRCR- replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 9 months ago
You guys, thank you so much for reading it and for everything!!
You’re soo welcome!! 😅
I was kinda scared for some reason that nobody would be interested to even look at it!
Ah, don’t worry, I always enjoy reading the works of other writers!! 😉😊

Allison replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 9 months ago
it’s all true though…I became such a better writer when I joined KP and after talking to all of you guys!!
I did to! I dont think I would have ever got this is close to finishing without everyone on here <3

-GRCR- replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 9 months ago
Yeah, that would work!! 😄

hybridlore replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 9 months ago
Yeah, I did notice that! Maybe Lilitu’s chapter could come after Sef’s?
Definitely! I hope you figure it out!

-GRCR- replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 9 months ago
Hmmm…
Alright, my basic answer: the first one draws me in more and I like its prologue. I do like the first two or three chapters of the second one, though.
I don’t know if you only wanted advice on the first/begining chapter… if so, you don’t have to listen to me or read my next few thoughts…. but if you don’t m…[Read more]

This is supposed to say “feel free to tag me in any post”…so yeah…XD
Dont worry, I understood XD I make errors like that all the time 😂

Hey! I think the first one does a great job of pulling the reader in more, but the second one also has some great writing in it.
I know the chapter with Sef and her mom really means a lot to you, and it does a good job of setting up the backstory of Sef’s parents and a little bit of world building. So really they both work in…[Read more]
