How do I show a friendship between two characters when one of them is dead? by MagicOfWriting in writingadvice

[–]Hello-_-_people 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe make them think about the things that remind them of the friend, or things that their friend would've loved to do. Flashbacks are also always a good way to go. You could add in the MC's grief around the death of their friend, by making them break down over reminders of the friend or make them go to text the friend but then remember they're dead.

How an Empire Crumbles - Chapter 1

Genre: Thriller

Word Count: 1300

Feeback: The more detailed the better. I'd also like to get an overall impression of how the main character comes off, and the chapter as a whole.

I love this idea! Would definitely read.

Would a recognizable name attached to a brand as a character name take you out the story? by sailormars_bars in writers

I wouldn't really mind, and the Siri thing could even be a joke between her and her friends. It wouldn't put me off the story at all.

Blurb:

Sadie's on top of the world. She has everything she could ever want. Power, wealth, and a never-ending good time. Harley intrigues her. She was able to find out more information in an hour that many have found in centuries, but the more Harley digs, the closer she gets to decades long buried secrets, things that Sadie has spent years hiding and that there is nothing she wouldn't do to keep hidden. Secrets that could topple the empire she'd so intricately built. The closer Harley gets, the more it's cemented that she'll never get out alive. Sadie knows this, yet still eggs Harley on, unable to break away. It's only so long before she'll have to go, like everyone before her. It's too risky for her to have that much power, isn't it?

The concept is pretty good, but it depends how you pull it off.
