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]

you’re good!!! You can just read it over on these links. I posted earlier in this thread, or I can send you the Google docs link so you can comment and edit. I can’t send the docs link now because I’m…[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]

Sorry, I think my last post lagged.
It’s all Wyoh’s fault…..XD
I really like your idea of doing the flashback and then going to Lilitu’s pov, though!
Okay, great! i’ll think and pray about it, but I’m pretty sure that this fits better than how I had it originally.

You guys, thank you so much for reading it and for everything!! I was kinda scared for some reason that nobody would be interested to even look at it!
The first one does pull me in better and I want to read more, but I just love the description and feel of the second, however, it may be a bit slow for the beginning…

Allison replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 8 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

hybridlore replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, I did notice that! Maybe Lilitu’s chapter could come after Sef’s?
Definitely! I hope you figure it out!

Ok, I read them both. The first one does pull me in better and I want to read more, but I just love the description and feel of the second, however, it may be a bit slow for the beginning chapter. That’s all I have for now, I will go over it more later today if I have time!

SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨ replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 8 months ago
Ohh! I never thought of that before!!!
That makes a lot of sense, actually.
Maybe I could go something like this:
1. Prologue
2. Memory (chapter 15 of the second link, shows Sef and Neveah picking flowers with Hanna)
3. Nothing (go to Lilitu and Livia)
4. Stolen (where Sef and Neveah get seperated)

I will definitely think about all this! I need to get more opinions before I make a decision…I am just so new to all this and want to see what more people think.
It’s a neat idea with the time change or whatever, I just don’t want it to be too confusing, and/or abrupt, you know?
Awww your dedication and acknowledgement…

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 😂

hybridlore replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 8 months ago
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]
