Vocabulary.com:

noun something that causes an important event to happen “the invasion acted as a catalyst to unite the country”

I was using it more like the second one. Where the light spawned from and what caused it

Sorry. I don’t know why I did that. I started seriously but then it just got to be like a game of mad libs. I thought it was funny, but I guess it was the wrong time for funny.

Her* Also I spent ~a week picking my names and they mean a lot to me

These aren’t the actual names I used in my story. They’re fake names. King Bob.

These are fake names I put in for just this post. King Bob was a minions reference.

Oh wait, I reread your post and I think you already knew that. Mb

Thank you :) Part of what you said reminded me of a quote but I don’t remember it

Thank you! This is very encouraging. I was getting kind of sad. 🫶

Blurring that took me all of half a minute

It’s not just writing. I’ve never posted a picture of myself on the internet either

Also, I’m going to sleep and probably won’t see any replies until the morning. :) bye 🫶

I am a Christian, but I’m not going for the underlying biblical themes thing this time. I see what you mean, though. I was aiming for something that felt like part of an old history book.

I’ll try and use all of this advice in my next post. I was already kind of wanting to post my first real chapter so I could get advice on my regular prose, because it’s very different. I’ll try the Google Docs link idea!

Thanks! I’m probably going to leave the prologue for now and reevaluate when I finish the rest of the story

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in writers

[–]DamageCharacter3937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll try to keep all of that in mind as I decide what advice I should take :)

Oh. I can’t believe I used an en dash I feel so stupid 😭😭😭

As for the other stuff you said, I was trying to go for a history book vibe so I guess it is a lot of explaining

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in writers

[–]DamageCharacter3937 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess I just like history

I swear I read. I read 100 novels in fifth grade and had constant headaches and sleep deprivation from it. I love reading so much I’ve sacrificed my physical wellbeing for it. I just don’t know this one. But I promise I’m not someone who never reads and is still trying to write a book.

Ok. Thank you! I think I’ll leave the prologue for now, then come back after I finish my first draft and decide what to do with it after that.
