@audrey-caylin Haikus are the easiest thing to write ever! They don’t have to rhyme, but the syllables have to be in a specific pattern. It’s easier than it sounds, and it’s SO fun! You should try it 🙂

@audrey-caylin It’s going okay! I’m on chapter 4. Progress at last!
Actually right now I’m writing haikus. I’m thinking of maybe publishing a collection of haikus on KP if I’m allowed

@dekreel I really like Alfred’s voice, which is especially important in something told in first person. 😉
My tops tips are to be really sensitive to the five senses. While these details are important in any POV, I think it can really shine in first. Especially touch/textures, taste and smells, which I find are often overlooked.
Also, first is a…[Read more] -

I have decided that my Dr Who novella would probably be a lot better in first-person POV, so I have decided to basically rewrite the whole thing. Except I have never written anything in first person before (other th…[Read more]

*waves hand around* Yes, yes…I know I said I’d see you all next year, but this is a question that couldn’t wait any longer.
Currently, I’m trying to write a novel. Too many novels actually, which is where this problem came up. You see, I finished Sector One, so I’m trying to write the sequel to it. But I’m 71,000 words in with 30,000 more to…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Michael would probably choose a political celebration, just because a Christmas party would potentially be very awkward. He has a rocky relationship with his family, and he doesn’t have many close friends.
@perfectfifths He’d rather fight a dragon than be one. (Especially a greedy dragon.)
@catwing Michael’s not a huge animal…[Read more] -
introvert_girl replied to the topic Would someone please tell me if these first chapters are too depressing? in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 5 months ago
@his-instrument My thoughts are that in the opening chapters, you want to be intentional about showing the reader what the tone of your story is, so they know what to expect. If the dark/sad elements in the beginning are conveying that, it may not be a problem. Unless you just want the story to be lighter in tone overall. In that case, I find the…[Read more]

@his-instrument I love the storyline!
It does sound kind of dark. Maybe you could like spread out the dark a little bit…?
Anyway, sure! I’ll read it. 🙂
Someone who has more experience with plot line might be of more use, though…
