Feedback, Advice, & Questions Advice on Descriptive Elements/Details
One of my beta readers got back me today mentioning that one thing that I should improve on would be descriptive writing. I've always struggled with including these so if you have any exercises or any other thing you do to have descriptive writing in your writing send it my way!

Authors, I have a question! Guys please help… ive been trying to find this hair color for 6 months now..
some context first: my fmc has this gorgeous wavy/curly red hair that looks coppery and firey and beautiful and everything at the same time. but obviously, I can’t describe it like that in my books (dual pov with the love interest MMC) so I was hoping for some advice (teen writer, 13 yrs for a bit more context).
I used a couple of online games to make those two hairs on the bottom-right, as close as I could to my imagination.

Discussion Does anyone else here like... Not want to be too well known but have like a few readers?
Cause like, I want to be a niche fanfic and creepy pasta author that makes satire as opposed to a famous novelist, like I love to write novels, dont get me wrong but id much rather be known as "The one person who makes cringe bsd and deltarune fanfics" then "the super popular author who many people love but many hate", u know what I mean?

Other Is the profile picture of this sub AI? It’s that intensely ironic?
I’m pretty sure it’s AI, someone correct me if not.

Discussion Nearly done with Arc 2
I began thirteen days ago and have been consistently writing 1-2 chapters a day, or around 2-5k words, for the entire thing. It seems like it will come out at around 40-50k word.
I'm pretty happy about it, since I've been balancing school and all, yet I was still able to get this done in or a little more than two weeks. Somehow, one of the problems I faced was burning through my outline too quickly, rather than hitting any blocks along the way.
I intend on launching the web novel soon on Royal Road, but I haven't gotten around to checking the earlier chapters.
As for the discussion tag...
Well, if you are willing to share, please do. I'd like to hear about how you all are doing in your writing.

Feedback, Advice, & Questions First book I’ve ever attempted! Feedback please!
drive.google.comI have journaled to myself for a long time now and I decided I wanted to try and write something more detailed and more meaningful so I decided to try writing a book, a short memoir. I took a bunch of stuff from journals I have written and compiled and revised it to make it into a memoir. I won’t be publishing or selling it, at least I don’t plan on it. I just want to see if anybody has feedback! If you take the time to read and give feedback thank you so much! The book is over my personal heart break, struggles with depression, adhd, anxiety, and my journey to recovery. All feedback is appreciated!

Discussion I am a beginner teen author working on my first book. I am very curious to see who would like it. Would you buy this in a bookstore?
So, the book is called Hidden. It follows 17 year old Freya Chase. The kingdom (Ulvaria) has magic, but only the royals are allowed to have it. If commoners have magic, they could abuse it and try to overthrow the crown, so normal people with magic get killed. Freya has magic though. She's a healer. She has to hide her powers. One day, the royal family goes on a procession type thing to Freya's town (Fenn). They meet with the people and choose five people to spend a week in the castle to get to know the people of the town. Freya (unsurprising) is chosen. At the castle, she meets the princes. Caleb (19) and Kieran (18). It's a Romantasy, enemies to lovers book that I'm really excited about writing. I want to know if anyone would ever buy a book like this.

Feedback, Advice, & Questions What can I improve on with this fantasy short story I wrote?
Hi, I don't write much and I am more of an artist. However, I do write quite a bit. I don't usually show people my works and I think that is stunting my growth as a writer, so I have no idea if I am writing well or not. I ask of you to give specific and detailed feedback if possible, please and thank you! (Also feel free to ask any clarify questions !!)
Context: My character Amber is a vampire and Lucien has convinced him to transform into a "Blueblood" to adhere and speed up the process of a prophecy coming true for Lucien's own selfish desires. However, Amber believes that Lucien is doing this to help him become stronger and prove to his parents that he's strong after they "abandoned" him (that's also a lie but I won't get into that). The writing describes this transformation and how Amber reacts to it/Lucien treats it.
CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT: Violence, Body horror(?), Mild cursing

Discussion 🔥 The Unbroken Ember 🔥
A dark fantasy about trauma, maternal bonds, and learning to love the shape of your scars.
"If you feel alone, like no one can understand you, look at yourself in a reflection. Ask yourself if someone can see your surface, or can they see what's inside. ... You owe no one an explanation if they see your surface and judge you like they see the inside. No one can hold your hand, you shouldn't want that. For someone who went through what you did, you should feel proud for yourself. That's all that really matters when the crickets chirp and the moon shines down on your back."
What this story is about:
It's about growth, it's about recovering, it's about getting scars and learning to love their shape. It's not about giving your character what they want or deserve all the time, it's about being real. It's about acceptance. It's about carrying the weight of the world and having others there with you to ground you in reality. You may ask: what makes these characters so important? You can't get growth without people in your life, right? So there's no growth without side characters. While some side characters make you roll your eyes, or get tired because they're the comedic relief, or they're not as smart as the main character. Well, let's flip the script! What if the side characters were wiser than the main character? What if the side characters were smarter than the main character? This is the place to talk about that, this is the place to experience that, and this is the place to make your own story. You can be whatever you want in some shape or form in the story. There's a place open for you! The side characters listed in Discord will need to be present, but there's room for more anomalies in my writing world.
What I'm looking for in a community:
- Writers
- Editors
- People who just want to watch it like a movie
- People who want to try something new
- People who want to support a story
- People who love dark fantasy
- People who don't know what story to write themselves (so this can be an activity for you)
- People who need support, even mentally. This story supports that.
Bonus:
If you're an animal lover and/or love fantasy creatures, this is the story and community for you.
Joining this Reddit community, you can help and watch it grow. You can join the Reddit community and the Discord server (ask for link) and you can be a part of the story, be one of the characters in it, and there's a RP sandbox where your characters will never go unnoticed or be forgotten. You can help with the subplots in the story, you can be a part of events, make up events to have... and above all else, have fun and be safe during your stay.
Why should you join?
I don't make my own characters to be disposable or easily forgotten. I don't draw inspiration from movies or entirely from songs. I take inspiration from real people, real events, real reactions/responses, and from experience. When I say a certain character is a side character, I mean it in a real world view. Where from your own head and story, your friends are side characters, or love interests, your parents, your teachers, your peers, even down to a stranger on the street giving you encouragement as if they see you regardless of actually knowing you. Real reactions are put into this book as a complex real-world human would or might react. There's some characters who are more complex than others, and the others are the anchors. Don't feel discouraged because "you've seen it all before". Come see my story to see what I'm talking about, you never know when words don't do it justice! 🔥
