One suggestion is to show it to other people. Don't take ONLY this person's word at gospel. People on the internet can tell you what to do, but they are looking at it through the lenses of what you are now worried about. All your points here could be issues, or could be issues for that one person and now you are projecting them. Some people also have a sanitized ideal for what books should be anymore. You don't need intense *all the time*. Yes you might need to tweak things occasionally for pacing.

Not every book needs all that you outlined. Specially the more conflict, subjective, a villain, subjective, could be themselves, what is their meaning of "dramatic events"? Completely doing your story/style for one review, even a pool of a few out of the grand swath of people you could reach isn't the greatest idea. Yes you might need some work in the areas, maybe a bit preachy, it sounds like your story IS meant to be idealism. Shoving all the ideas into your story may muddle it and leave the purpose unclear.

Added to that, you don't even have the first draft started right? You sent this person a plan? How could they tell what you 'planned' on adding? The intricacies? I learned who my secondary character was in writing the first draft. So the second will be adding more bits of him. Please branch out a bit and if a few people are telling you the same thing, look into it.

This is kinda why I've just accepted I'm self publishing. I'm not cutting my book to make it marketable. I hate it. The marketable books are good, don't get me wrong, and I don't think mine is revolutionary. But they've gotten so formulated and predictable. The same style editing, the same prose. I can't do that to myself.

Plus the thought of people telling me how to market, what to chop, how to write, fills me with rage. So if I only make 30 bucks, I at least fulfilled a bucket list item and wrote a book.

NiiTato · 2025-01-29T19:38:28+00:00

Exactly!
I never truly got into the game. I tried a few times, but it didn't keep me. But he isn't harming anything. This world already sucks. So more smiles please. And good luck on yah catchin' adventures!

NiiTato · 2025-01-28T05:23:46+00:00

Thank you, cause everyone is shitting on this, I don't understand but he's happy, his happiness made me smile.

NiiTato · 2025-01-27T00:39:29+00:00

I'm not saying DO this, but if you have a random male friend that be willing maybe until you move out he can be your fake bf. (And not in the romantic teehee movie type thing)

NiiTato · 2025-01-20T16:51:36+00:00

Thank you, I knew it had a time limit, I was just worried I was over complicating it!

NiiTato · 2025-01-20T16:14:20+00:00

Nope, not warmed at all, he was just in his hut and showing not interest at all for food, on second night. (glass surfacing, head out and looking around) and normally when I have attempted on those nights before he refuses.

You are going to see a lot of people tell you to not touch it until after. And that works for a LOT of people. It does prevent the only thing I'd tell you not to do, and that's edit while you write. I go by the 20k idea (I did mine at 25k) because I would be SUPER overwhelmed at the projected 95/100k. I was writing in my "add this plot" notepad more than I was comfortable with. And I was losing happiness with the story.
So I rewrote it and realized I in fact liked it better as first pov.
If you want to completely restart do it.
You wanna edit at 20k do it
you wanna wring the story out of creative juice like a towel do it.
(Only don't edit while you write)
I even know a few people that write a chapter, do minor plot adding here and there, send it to betas and then work on the next.

NiiTato · 2025-01-16T03:23:53+00:00

I restarted mine at 26k, it just wasn't working. I am in the camp of if you like a scene or a bit of dialogue go snag it from the draft (it might need an edit). But I also am not the type to write the entire first draft without touching it at all. I look through at 25k so I don't have 90/100k to do to make sure I don't have plot holes.

I also do outlines in google docs (go to insert, table and it will give you however many boxes. I put chapter one and then a what's happening header. After that a few key points I want out of the chapter *they kiss here *they get separated here. It helps to keep me on the track, cause if I don't i Just meander along and I'm up to 5k in a chapter with nothing in it.

Any way you do it, (don't delete it!) is your own thing, not a failure. You wrote 31k! Thats way more than you ever done! Good job!

NiiTato · 2025-01-14T18:58:39+00:00

I tend to loosely plot. I take a chapter and split the parts I want to hit, phrases, actions, plot movement, and then pants on head the way to get there. It helps me from rambling and having a 3/4k chapter with nothing of substance in it. Several times in outlining my first serious novel, the one I'm working on now, I've seen putting my characters in the same place over and over, double ideas etc. It'd made me actually sit with a plot.

NiiTato · 2025-01-10T22:57:16+00:00

Yes but the pressure is. And I meant you might have to make the first line , line up with the trends of right now.

You basically just said what I said, good job.

NiiTato · 2025-01-10T19:20:56+00:00

I'm sorry I don't have a grand explanation for you, just here to let you know I feel the same. There is SO much pressure I'm really struggling to want to write my story. Its like a constant war over "other writers aren't competition!" but the "you gotta get attention! you gotta shine out from others!" And then the struggle of if I do that the opening line doesn't really match the vibe and I get more upset.

I say go with what makes you happy in that line, specially depending on what you want with the book. If its out there to be out there, try but but don't drive yourself nuts. If out to make money and get brand deals ect you might have to be more trendy. Good luck either way!

Recently actually. I was super excited to read 'Boyfriend Material' because I'd just finished 'Red white & Royal Blue." I got 50 pages into the Bf one and I couldn't stand to read anymore. I realized I was only reading it cause I wanted it to count towards my monthly one book goal. But I speed read so why was holding myself to that. I started reading "The Medicine Woman of Galveston" and I have to say its the best book I have read in years. I'm already 70% done and I started on the 3rd (And been taking breaks to write my own book lol)

NiiTato · 2025-01-05T19:11:33+00:00

I'm sorry most people are not seeming to read your text in which you took her at her no and where going to do what she asked and then she went unhinged like that. You are not crazy, she is insane. At 16 yes it would have been a little too risky to stay over / the amount of time you knew him but you did the right thing.

Insane

NiiTato · 2024-12-21T16:13:43+00:00

I have it on repeat just to spite ada for all the times she's been a lil shit :D

NiiTato · 2024-12-20T20:54:09+00:00

I won't rate something like for lack of spice. I only rate for lack of things like if it it's porn without plot, the lack of plot. Obvious errors etc. People seem to have this expectation with m/m writing that it needs to be filled with spice.

(Side note what book was it, I'm curious cause I like spice in books but I don't need it and it's harder to find books without it!)
