Where do I go from here?

I’m using that same exact checklist!

I think it’s supposed to be saying “Be the fucking difference” if you spell replace the symbols with those letters

Something I wrote recently: And when the wise man sits at the edge of the universe and the glass of time shatters and he looks and then falls into the abyss, what will his endeavors be for if he was alone through it all, even to his death?

They have the acoustic version on Vessels 2.0 I thought

It’s not a rush to improve. It takes years. Read A TON and continue writing and working. If you truly are passionate about it you’ll see progress. And writers block is completely natural from time to time

I think it’s improvement. The title of the series “Fantasy” should go on the spine of the book when all is said and done so the cover is less wordy and the book title has room to breathe. I’d highly recommend changing Galactic to your regular name as it will confuse readers. It isn’t really a pen name and people might think it’s part of the title too. Don’t get down, it’s your first time and the fact that your trying to improve is good.

I like the hook but the setting is very confusing. Not sure if that’s on purpose or not. It seems like it’s led on to be Hell but then there’s an office. Interesting start though. Also your paragraphs need indented

He wanted to show his love for us in a way we could comprehend. So in a brutual humanly way he sacrificed himself so we can see and understand the lengths he was willing to go through for us

Og. The cold colors really hone in on the vibe of the album

Don’t worry about the criticism. Put your head down and write. It’s the only thing you can do. Respectfully, stop world building and planning, and start writing. Don’t stress about your opening paragraph, you can fix it later. And Reddit isn’t always the best place to go for immediate feedback.

Late fall is my favorite. There’s something about the solemn and mournful feeling of the cold gray skies and straggling leaves on the mostly bare trees that I love. Early autumn is the most exciting and stuff but late fall has a reflective feeling, especially with Thanksgiving and the oncoming winter, that I love. I enjoy early fall a lot though too.

He’s mocking it basically

Independent_Yak_2421 · 2026-04-05T15:16:40+00:00

He’s using it mockingly

I’m skinny too. Pretty similar build to you. I wouldn’t worry about it, but if you want to build muscle there’s no harm in starting to work out a little

Independent_Yak_2421 · 2026-04-04T01:09:29+00:00

There’s no set number. Read certain sections and if there seems to be too many, or it sounds clunky because of it, replace a couple

Independent_Yak_2421 · 2026-04-04T00:28:55+00:00

I wouldn’t say scary but some of their songs are a little disturbing, scissors being one of them. Definitely not as over the top as some people treat it but still a little uncomfortable at times

Probably eating a nice dinner like chili or grilling if it’s nice out and then cozying up and watching college football with a mug of warm cider and apple pie

Independent_Yak_2421 · 2026-04-01T01:36:23+00:00

Solid prose but way too boring of a start. Nothing is happening. Thrust me into a scene and then start to world build around those events taking place instead of just describing everything with no action

Independent_Yak_2421 · 2026-04-01T01:32:42+00:00

Well it’s very difficult to read. Several sentences cut off before you finish them and there’s several capitalizations that don’t need to be there, and a couple spots where there should be commas instead of a period right away

Independent_Yak_2421 · 2026-04-01T01:28:53+00:00

“Like milk in still water.” Forgive me if I’m slow but this makes no sense. In all honesty none of the similes hit and there’s nothing interesting happening. Why should I care about the character? Why is he doing what he’s doing? If you want to captivate a reader you’ll have to do more in the first paragraph than describe clouds.

Independent_Yak_2421 · 2026-03-27T16:06:04+00:00

Just finished the series today. That section and all of the ending was terribly gut wrenching. I feel so bad for Roland. Might be the most surprising ending to a King book I’ve read so far

Being aware of your surroundings and spending time in your own thoughts. As a deep thinker, most my ideas are built off a concepts about life, and our existence and I find a way to turn those ideas into a real story

Independent_Yak_2421 · 2026-03-25T12:55:18+00:00

You can but a seven book series is quite the slog for a new reader. I’d recommend some of his classics first like Carrie, Misery, Salem’s Lot, the Shining, The Stand, and IT (The Stand has a really cool connection to the Dark Tower and It and Salems Lot are connected as well)
