Writing Encouragement

Posting several times a week.....totally nailed that. *Facepalm*

Let us move on.

I thought today I would post a bit of encouragement for all you writers. One thing that I've struggled with is being afraid that my story is boring or predictable, or even both. Then I came across this on Pinterest and it helped me get a new perspective.

Sure, I still might have to clean things up and come up with better plot twists, but that's a part of writing. Don't be afraid to give that story a shot. You might be surprised at the feedback you get.

Life Update

I HAVE RETURNED!

Goodness, I've missed you all.

I graduate from high school this Saturday. Super excited for that! In the meantime, I have two summer classes that just started. In the fall I'll be going to a local community college full-time.

I also got my very first job working in the deli of a local grocery store. It's always busy. The more I learn, the more I'm enjoying it.

I completed the first draft of my novel Somnia! I'll be posting chapters on wattpad soon.

With the new blog look comes a new schedule. Unfortunately I won't be able to post daily as I did before. I'll be keeping the topics along the lines of what I used to do (story pieces, writing advice, etc...), but this time I'll only be posting when time allows. I plan on posting several times a week--we'll see how that goes.

God bless!

Which Do You Like Better?

Hey guys! I have decided to go back and work through my latest draft of White Wings and I need your opinion. 

Should I keep it in first person narration? Or should I change it to third person?

First person (original):

     I felt a presence behind me and turned.  Cole stood with a deep scowl on his face.  I could sense his quiet anger, and it frightened me. 

     “Why are you talking with a Kril?” he asked me in a tone lower than I had ever heard him speak.  I winced at his use of the harsh term.

     “Don’t call him that,” I said.

     “He has no wings.  There really isn’t a difference.”

     “Rilind is not a criminal, Cole,” I shot back.  Cole flashed me a wicked glare.

     “Why are you defending him? Hasn’t your family been disgraced enough? You should be grateful I’m still talking to you.”

      

Third person:

     Rae felt a presence behind her and turned. Cole stood with a deep scowl on his face, his anger evident and frightening.  

     “Why are you talking with a Kril?” he asked in a tone lower than he'd ever spoken.  Rae winced at his use of the harsh term.

     “Don’t call him that,” she said.

     “He has no wings.  There really isn’t a difference.”

     “Rilind is not a criminal, Cole,” Rae shot back.  Cole flashed a wicked glare.

     “Why are you defending him? Hasn’t your family been disgraced enough? You should be grateful I’m still talking to you.”

     

Thank you so much for your help!
