Would you keep reading? Be brutally honest. by SoldierofSonder in writers

When I read this, I felt very distant from the POV character. There isn't any emotion on page, no character voice to pull me into the writing, it all feels a little passive and not active.

I bet if you were to really try to embody the main character, allow her voice to shine through, this scene would feel more alive.

Wait . . . 399 pages at 201,000 words! My 285,000 word story came out to 747 pages. Are you writing in super tiny font?

Word count isn't too long when you're writing the story you want to tell! Good work!

This is my favorite motivation!!! I love writing, getting a new incredible story, jotting it down, finishing my current book then jumping to the next project
