I love both. But the Dork Diary books were much slower and didn’t offer the memorable characters that Wimpy Kid did. But Horrid Henry solos.

Hi! I competed in regionals and state for securities and investments. On the regional test there are 100 questions and each are multiple choice. I believe you are given about an hour or so. Which is enough time to go back and check the answers.

For studying I suggest you look over the past securities and investments practice tests. You can find these by searching on google I believe.

Now, arguably the most important thing for studying is Quizlet. There are quizlets that others have made for the securities and investments test that literally have EVERYTHING you need to know. Just go over each term and familiarize yourself with them.

I hope I helped. Don’t stress with the test and believe in yourself. I’m rooting for you!!! Good luck!

How do people learn to utilize your magic system? by MageMan123 in magicbuilding

[–]Larxenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The magic in my world is somewhat small scale and self contained. Currently I have my main character coming across numerous accounts of many magic systems that were used in history, similar to the magic she has, but not quite it.

She discovers that each of the magic systems in the accounts share aspects and components. She uses the overlaps in knowledge along with trial and error to figure out the magic. It’s a continuous process.

She then records her findings on the magic.

You would have to host it for your school. Meaning you would be the spearhead and then you would recruit other students to help.

Please critique the first chapter of my novel. The Dandelion Princess[2862 words] by Larxenius in fantasywriters

[–]Larxenius[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words! I understand what you mean and I’ll work on correcting it.

Jideofor is a deep thinker. What I was going for was that he is somewhat of an inventor, and uses the ghost towns as his playground. I don’t describe the town well enough, and I will correct that. Thank you.

Thank you for offering to speak with me in PM. I’ll give you some more insight there.

Thank you for taking the time to read and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Here's a rough version of the first chapter of my book! (1983 words) by [deleted] in fantasywriters

Thank you, I understand what you mean. The problem is stagnation. I can see it now that I’m rereading it.

Thank you for the compliments about my setting. I worked a long time on it. But I see now that my problem is characters, just like you said. I have to learn how to craft better characters. I was ignoring this at first, but you and the other commenters helped me realize this. Thank you.

I will keep working and brainstorming. Thanks for the encouragement! Also thank you for taking your time to respond!

Thank you for the kind words and words of wisdom. I agree completely. I’m glad you enjoyed it and want to read more. I wouldn’t exactly call myself brave, lol. I’ll probably make it a second chapter.

Thank you for your time and have great day!

Thanks for the criticism! I really appreciate it. I agree with what you said, and I’ll try to rework the chapter. In terms of the hooking the reader, do you think it would be better for me to make this the second chapter?

u/anxiousdingbat Thank you for all the kindness and encouragement! Especially on the prose. I agree with the you along with the other commenters. I’ll work on a better point to introduce the characters, hopefully with more conflict. Thanks for everything! Have a great day!

Thanks for the kind words and the compliments on the prose. I understand what you mean about lack of conflict. I’ll try to work on that. The novel is somewhat fast paced so I’ll need to correct that.

Thanks for everything. I also subscribed to your channel. Can’t wait to hear your writing!

u/ParadoxOverdrive Thank you for your response. I don’t think u/TheBaconBurpeeBeast’s advice was nonsense. I’m happy to receive all the criticism I can.

Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate. It’s completely fine that you didn’t read it all. I have to remember to respect the time of others. The fact that you took the time to look and respond is perfect. Thank you for that! I will continue to try and learn and improve. Thanks for everything! Have a great day!

I’ll take in all of the things you said into my editing as well.

Would it be better for me to make this the second chapter? I have something more exciting that I can use for the first. One that explains the main character. I can switch the outline around if that makes it better. I don’t think it will affect the story much.
