My writing has been very sporadic and has not improved much. I still struggle with the idea of theme and plotting and just in general what I’m doing. Other than that, I love world building and it is going great!

I am also looking forward to hearing others perspectives on this topic!

Mine is that the writing world is lacking greatly. Parents are  portrayed as the bad guys, they end up dead, or they’re perfect. Too perfect.
