Your feedback is actually pretty good, for the purpose of this book. I won’t give many hints… but it’s essentially supposed to seem like a more generic Sci-Fi novel when it’s really not. I do want it to still sound more unique and interesting to draw people in – but then the reason for it being unique or interesting s…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon

It strikes me as sci-fi with heavy dystopian themes. I haven’t read Scythe by Neal Shusterman, but the blurbs sound similar.

It does sound interesting, though I think the prose could be tightened in a few areas, as it reads a bit ramblingly. Some bits “truth – real truth – has been accepted in all four corners of the globe.” I t…[Read more]

I largely second @valtmy. My gut is that you often don’t have more than, say, 6-7 truly main characters over the course of a novel. Unless it’s super-long or a part of a series, you simply don’t have time to flesh all of them out. The main dividing line I’d give is that main characters are complex and three-dimensional and that side characters are…[Read more]

@valtmy

That’s great advice, thanks so much!!

@naiya-dyani, @valtmy, @princess-foo, thank you guys, this helps so much. my one question, do I need a time period if it’s fiction? to make it more relatable?

@valtmy WoW!!! I didn’t know anything about this! I never look at the news.

@valtmy  Long time no see! Yyyyup. It took me that long to learn my lesson. 😛 But in the end I’m so glad I did.

@selah-chelyah  I haven’t really been doing much in the guilds anyway. Actually I dropped from the writing guild I was in because I felt like it took a lot of devotion, and I’m not exactly sure if I’m cut out to be a writer after a…[Read more]

@banana-peacock-warrior

Great topic! XD

@valtmy

Whoa, I really like that one a lot. SO TRUE!

@kari-karast

Lol! That is just like something you would post, too. 😛

And I have a couple, too:

@valtmy

(Taiwan is another island region that regards itself as independent but is also officially part of China… but that is a story for another day).

As someone who hails from Taiwan, I’d say that we are independent, but not internationally recognized (because of pressure from China, a big world/economic power). So to kind of add to what y…[Read more]

@valtmy

…wow. I’ll have to study this some more too.

@k-a-grey @bama-rose @valtmy @olivia @kari-karast

These are all awesome! I especially love that one from David Schlosser- I’ve never heard of him, before! And LOL I like a lot of your signature quotes too… 😏😂

I randomly found these ones online…

I don’t usually have TV but I was away last week and able to watch 7News every night so I saw a lot about the protests and I also thought they were quite interesting and have been planning to do a more in-depth study on them.

@valtmy I don’t know anything about the Hong Kong protests

@valtmy

I don’t think I’ve heard of what’s going on in Hong Kong. What are the protests about?
