Note to Andrew: if you do not write a ~50-word Rax scene, I will throw my arsenal of twenty snowballs at you

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, fine! Since I got hit with two snowballs, here is a 118-word scene.

“Lord Quakers!” Rax towards the gloomy throne where the tyrant sat, “Your reign has come to an end!” Rax pointed Fortier towards the lord. T…

Don’t worry, he will die a well-deserved horrible death.

I still wish his story didn’t have to end that way😭

Here is the next chapter. Are you ready? Things are about to get darker.

Chapter the 29th – The Crow

Another thing. My school courses are finishing up so I have more time to write again! My goal is to get you the epilogue by the end of the year.

Yay, I’ve finally been hit!

He could see his furry reflection in the puddle, though he didn’t really care. He swung his paw and tapped the water, sending a ripple across its surface and a wave of amusement through the small kitten. He continued to tap the water, tilting his head to the side so much that it see…

@theducktator

I would mostly agree with what other people are saying, but not quite. It is going to be easier to fit in more characters if you have a series over a stand-alone. However, I have read a few series that were long, but still had too many characters. Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time was an example of this as well as the graphic novel…[Read more]

@theducktator

Thank you, and I’ll be praying for you.

@grcr

Praying for your family ❤️

@theducktator

I agree with what hybrid and highscribe said. Definitely consider the length and genre of your book first. If your novel is only going to be 60-70k, I would definitely hesitate adding more POV characters cuz then they each only get 10-15k each and that’s really not a lot in the big scheme of things.

Also consider if each c…[Read more]

I try to never have more then 1 MC for a given setting.

So, my last book only had one, but his brother and wife were very heavily leaning toward MC state, and Cora even got her own POV at one point. However, Ethan was the one the book followed the closest.

The one I’m writing currently has three MC in three different locations,…[Read more]

@theducktator

Agreed with Hybrid and High Scribe. It really depends, if you can manage it then it’s probably okay. As long as your making the different POV’s distinct and add personality to each POV and MC, then it will probably be fine. It should be used in caution though.

@the-lost_journal @theducktator

Thank you!

Do you guys have a name?

If you can’t tell be the signature at the below 🔽, our name is Anduth.

@theducktator

I agree with Hybrid and second everything she said. It really depends on what kind of book this is and what age group it’s targeted towards. 11 is probably a lot if it’s something like middle grade fiction. If this is something massive, like, say, the Stormlight Archives, then 11 is more reasonable (though even SA doesn’t have that…[Read more]

@theducktator

It really depends. Does each MC have their own POV? How long is the series, and what genre is it? Typically a long, multi-book series will have plenty of characters, while a standalone may only have room for a few. (However, Gordon Korman is a big exception to this rule. He writes mostly standalone contemporary MG fiction, but he…[Read more]
