Glad you liked it!
My original idea was a sort of Man vs God thing. It draws upon the belief that our lives are ruled by “Fate” that was prevalent in ancient China.
Basically the setting is a story world where “Fate” appears to cause lots of silly love stories to happen and the “Rules” are basically just all the…[Read more]

Hmm… yes maybe that will work. I was planning on having a more sweeping epic but maybe a tighter story might suit the premise better. Thanks!
Sure no problem.

I have a problem.
I tend to start off writing well but I have trouble deciding how to continue my stories. This causes me to get stuck and saps away my motivation to write. For my WIP, I have been trying to see if outlining will help but outlining is hard when I’m not sure how I want my story to go.
So just to try something new I’m putting one…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Is this boring???? in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years ago
I agree with what everyone else has said. I think the problem has to do with the pacing and the passiveness of the main character. There is a lot of description that slow the story down and much of the information conveyed through dialogue could have easily been summed up in a few lines.
Just some thoughts…
#1: The article in the…[Read more]

I might consider that. Thanks!
Haha I know you guys are all really nice. The problem is that people outside the KP forums can access it as well and I’m shy about my writing. 😳
Hmm… I did think about using that feature but I know not everyone may want to give out their email so I wanted to check if…[Read more]

Yep. I guess I will just have to get over myself if I can’t think of another way. 😅
Thanks!

Hey just to check: is there a PM function in this forum somewhere? I’m thinking of sharing the first few chapters of my projects to get feedback from some of you guys but I’m a little iffy about posting links directly on the forum since it’s available for public viewing.
(embarrassed whispers) I’m really uncomfortable with random people seeing…[Read more]

I really like this! You have managed to bring across Chara’s fear and panic very well. There are some minor edits and rephrasing I think might help make the writing stronger but overall I think it’s good.
Just one thing… Can’t Chara just find a rock or something to break the car window so that she can open the car door to get the…[Read more]

Um I am not sure how to answer that. I don’t know what I want to look like. Should I just tell you what I actually look like instead?
People have told me that my skin is very fair and my hair is very black… That sort of sounds like Snow White now that I think about it…
You know what you can just make me a Disney princess. 😀

Wow this is a great discussion!
My WIP is about a queen that falls from grace, joins the theater, becomes a celebrity and proceeds to wage the historical equivalent of a Twitter war with her political enemies.

Sure you can add me as a character. I’m interested to see what you come up with. 😀
As for my personality… I am an INTJ. That’s all you need to know. 😉
OK to be serious, I usually come across as a very logical person with unhealthy perfectionistic tendencies and a dry and cynical sense of humour. But I also have a romantic and…[Read more]

Great news! So even after that horrible job interview, they have contacted me and told me that they’re keen to take me on! 😀
It’ll still be a while before they can make an actual offer so I’m still praying about it and there are other positions that have also sparked my interest so I’ll still need G…[Read more]

- I need help with plotting my story’s middle. I know how it begins, I know how it should end but what lies between is a haze.

valtmy replied to the topic Review my (old) story's prologue in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 2 months ago
Hmm… What I can think of that might help you get yourself more into writing descriptions is to describe things in your POV character’s voice (unless you’re writing in omniscient) so that it shows character as well.
Avoid boring and cliche descriptions and make those sentences just as snappy and quotable as your dialogue. Use…[Read more]

Hey everyone. I have a prayer request.
As my university life draws to a close, I have been on a hunt for a job and it has been very difficult and confusing. Both my parents will no longer be working soon so it’ll be up to me and my sister to support the family. The problem is that I am not entirely sure where or even what type of work I should…[Read more]
