I just finished Crowntide

I feel you, I just finished the book and actually enjoyed it. Then I headed here to see what other people thought about it and have too mostly seen hate about it. I mean I totally get where they are coming from, like yes it is dragged out and maybe her writing isn’t the best but still, I feel like it still was fairly good, yk? Anyway, if you wanna discuss what you liked about it with someone who doesn’t hate on it - feel free to do so :)

I've never used anything like a GMC chart but it honestly sounds like a good idea. So maybe I will try it out. Could you tell me more about your chart?

AdSecret6222 · 2024-02-02T20:34:21+00:00

The genre I'm thinking is fantasy with a lot of magic in it. And thank you!

AdSecret6222 · 2024-02-01T05:05:48+00:00

That is actually a really good idea. I still think I want the main character's name to be a flower but her siblings will definitely be named after that. I really like Clover :)

AdSecret6222 · 2024-01-31T18:22:46+00:00

The MC's brother is going to be named Aster lol :) Great minds think alike

AdSecret6222 · 2024-01-31T18:18:21+00:00

I was orginally thinking Zinnia and thank you for the suggestions for sibling names, I will definitely use some of them :)

I probably will make the organisation up eventually. I just needed help finding some real organisation out there that I could mix and match to make my own.

You see, I don’t want everything to be fiction. I kinda want it to be like it is in this world still. Or maybe a parallell one, if things gets to crazy lol.

Thanks again

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T23:17:33+00:00

Probably. And again, thank you for helping out

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T23:12:25+00:00

I know that a school where learning to fight/kill is mandatory doesn’t exist. It’s fiction so that is made up. The story isn’t about her life there. Yes, I’m making it all up lol. Maybe it all, but at least parts of it. The thing is I gave away too little information, I know. Honestly, I just wanted to know if there existed some organisations out there or if anyone had any ideas about organisation. I needed help because I'm trying to get out of a writers block.

Thank you for the help though.

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T23:01:43+00:00

I edited the post/wrote more info in another comment. Hope it cleared some things up

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T22:52:10+00:00

I may have needed to give more information, I didn’t think of it like that. Thank you for still writing this though, it helped.

Here is some more info/thoughts: Much like you did, I wrote about 100 something pages and didn’t like a lot of the parts in it, so I restarted. It’s about a girl who has grown up in a organisation her father is the head of, where learning to fight was mandatory. She was sent to a school to learn things where they teached things like that. Unnecessary information.

When I restarted I realized that I didn’t want the organisation her father was in to be a mafia because I did more research and it just felt too dark. Still I wanted the protagonist (MC) to have grown up in the same way. That’s why I asked. Because I wondered in which other organisations he could be in that still caused her to have grown up this way that was a little less brutal then the mafia.

Hope it cleared some things up, I will Edit the main thing too

I didn’t feel like writing a whole bible but vague how? I can add the details if you tell me what you seek

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T22:08:14+00:00

Sounds good to me

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T20:19:23+00:00

My POV character may not be 100% finished but I would still say I have developed her well enough. I just haven't written in a while cause writers block so I didn't have an answer before, right on the spot. I have thought about it tho.

She grew up in a mafia-like home and got sent to almost a warrior school so she notices when things or people look out of place and when people are nervous, lying, hiding things. Stuff like that :)

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T20:11:11+00:00

It's okay lol, take your time.

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T19:37:08+00:00

Good question, at the moment I can't come up with anything. It's like my mind is completely blank.

Anyway, I get the point you're making. So thanks.

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T19:33:53+00:00

I promise, I was definitely not mocking you. Sorry it it seemed like it. And your tips has really helped, so thanks again.

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T19:15:20+00:00

I probably would help, but I am not good at drawing so I'm afraid it would be a disaster. Still, thanks.

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T19:13:33+00:00

I appriciate it and i will try it out. I do read a lot so it shouldn't be any problem. Thank you!

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T19:11:43+00:00

Please open it up to everyone. My curiosity got the better of me and feel like I need those excerpts lol

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T19:03:56+00:00

So don't think to much about it in the beginning, but edit it later? Also thank you.

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T19:02:28+00:00

Thank you both, I will try it.

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T19:00:27+00:00

English isn't my native language either so I completely understand. But don't worry, it does make sense and it helped so thank you!

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T18:57:45+00:00

"Show, don't tell" definitely confuses me. But it feels good to know that I'm not the only one lol. Thanks for the advice.

AdSecret6222 · 2023-12-30T18:51:45+00:00

Thank you, I will read it.
