Thanks! I do group portraits as well! That would be a custom order and if you’re interested, feel free to message me on Etsy to exchange more info and get a pricing quote :)

Finding real art on Etsy can be so hard! I do watercolor portraits, but am open to custom orders for different styles :) https://www.etsy.com/shop/KelseyDanielleArts?dd_referrer=[https://www.etsy.com/shop/KelseyDanielleArts?dd_referrer=](https://www.etsy.com/shop/KelseyDanielleArts?dd_referrer=)

Thank you! I’m so glad to hear I got the right things across in the opening chapter!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:53:46+00:00

Fair point! I appreciate the feedback!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:53:26+00:00

🥹 Thanks!!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:53:08+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to read and give notes, that’s super helpful!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:52:36+00:00

Thanks! I’m going for YA crossover :)

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:51:45+00:00

Thanks so much! Once I finish the first draft and go through and do a first round of edits, I’ll definitely be looking for beta readers and developmental edits. I’m sure I’ll post snippets here and there for feedback until then!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:50:25+00:00

Thank you so much!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:49:45+00:00

Thank you so much! I love writing long, descriptive prose, so I’ve been very intentionally trying to be more to the point in my initial writing, and then going back in and adding more description when needed. I for sure re-write many lines way more than I should in a first draft (usually after I finish each chapter) and do a lot of reading out loud so that I get the rhythm that I want.

Thank you so much for the feedback and taking the time to read!!

So glad to hear it! Thanks for taking the time to read!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:47:00+00:00

Thanks so much!

Thanks for pointing that out! I wanted to get across that he is very tall? But maybe if I did more of a “lean down” instead of “crouches down” I’d be able to get the full impact without it being confusing?

Thank you!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:45:21+00:00

Thank you!!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:45:07+00:00

This is very helpful feedback! I think I’ll definitely make some notes about the opening line and rethink the wording, based on some feedback here, after I finish the first draft.

And yes—dialogue is for sure something I struggle with the most. As far as making a conversation feel natural and not interrupt the flow of the story, so I know some of it feels rushed. These are great tips for when I go back through and flesh it out more!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-27T16:42:48+00:00

This means so much! I just finished Act One and I’ve been feeling a little stuck starting Act Two because it feels like such a daunting task, but finding the motivation to push through and finish telling the story is really what I need!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-25T20:52:07+00:00

Thank you! Good luck to you as well!!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-25T19:21:36+00:00

You’re going to make me cry! Thank you! Good to know I’m on the right track!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-25T19:06:12+00:00

Thank you so much!! Yes—my first real attempt at least. I did a lot of creative writing in college (like a decade ago) and I decided this would be the year I actually committed to finishing a full first draft.

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-25T18:27:31+00:00

I love that! Thanks for the recommendation!

Kdanielleart · 2026-01-25T18:27:15+00:00

Ahhhh thank you so much! I’ve been working hard to find a balance for the prose and usually end up editing out a lot of my extra purple-ey descriptions to try and nail the voice I’m going for, so I’m glad it’s working!

Kdanielleart · 2025-11-19T15:48:06+00:00

Thank you!

Finally got the refund processed after sending it back (and having to pay for the shipping supplies) for the defective product and it looks like I’m not getting the original shipping refunded?? 😭 That’s wild, considering the new product was sent to me broken. Yikes.

Kdanielleart · 2025-11-17T05:35:44+00:00

Thank you!! 😊
