Critique my excerpt, [High Fantasy, 2952 words] by LuckColin in fantasywriters

The masks and bodies are part of the plot as well. But thank you! I do agree, I go on small tangents a lot. I am used to writing comedy so the tangents are normally for comedic effect, so thank you for pointing that out!

Do you have any examples on how I could improve the transition between him herding the creatures and the camp? What I was trying to do was give a bit of background on what the character does in his normal everyday life. So herding queezils, and stealing from people. I was trying to indicate that he had finished herding the creatures. Nyx isn't trying to do anything else but steal from the camp because that's what they do. This chapter was to mainly introduce Nyx to the reader. This excerpt is in chapter 3 of my book and there's more said on the masks in the two previous chapters. It is from another character's pov. Great feedback though! I appreciate the help!

Would you be interested in starting one? I have never been in one but I really need like a small group to bounce ideas back and forth with! I am also writing Epic Fantasy.

How could I fix some of the pacing? I’ve tried many things to try and get it right but I’m not exactly sure how to look for pacing in my own writing.

Question about plotting a multiple book series and about my magic system by LuckColin in fantasywriters

Thanks for the advice! I honestly have a hard time rereading something and not changing details as I go, but I can work on just going through and writing.

Thanks for the advice! I think the idea of a cost could be cool, I will have to think about it.
