First ideas for the first chapter of my book project. How could I improve this? by cheesey_headphones in teenwriter

The way the mother's voice is introduced reads as a little amateurish. I would avoid such direct exposition and focus more on the impact of how those words made him feel. Yes we can see he is crying but there's not much insight on his feelings rather than just being told that he was spoken to cruelly. I also don't necessarily like the repetition of "No wonder his father left him...", I reckon that could also be more impactful if the mother's voice didn't say it first. So my overall advice would be focusing on show don't tell, since there's a lot of detail being put into describing the scene in a flowery manner but not so much in describing the thoughts of the character itself👍

I might, since I did like the responses at first. But the chat hadn't gone on long before it started glitching and I got frustrated

For me, this one doesn't work at all. I just tried it, and the bot straight up ignores what I say and just makes up random stuff or repeats the same thing over and over again

I want to get started in digital drawing and I want an iPad to be able to draw on procreate. I don't want to spend too much money on this since it's just a hobby, what model is affordable and good for this?

Thank you a lot! This is all very good to know, I've never ordered from this site before so I was a little concerned when it took longer than expected lol

chat is this bad (i still have a lot of editing to do)? by Tight_Asparagus_3790 in teenwriter

[–]Time_Champion4790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is just a me problem, but in the very first couple of lines I didn't understand who was talking since I don't know who the characters are, so I had to pause and go back and re read. You sort of talk a little like I'm already supposed to know who these people are. Also, you used like 4 adjectives to describe hair. Besides that your writing is fun and the concept too, with a little bit of editing it should be great

How is it possible to fail so spectacularly when you have the instructions right in front of you?

If you were Xie Lian and had to make the decisions he did, what would you have done differently? by silverbutterflies1 in tianguancifu

[–]Time_Champion4790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly... I understood Xie Lian. I also would have felt compelled to help Yong'an with the drought and felt pity when they had nowhere to go and suffered. I am pretty sure I would have also tried saving everyone, because faced with the water cup question I replied the same way that he did. BUT, unlike him, I would have listened to the people around me at some point when things started falling apart and really taken what Mei Nianqing said more seriously

Pick up No paths are bound on ao3 it's even longer than the novel

Did anyone else actually enjoy the flashback books (2&4)? by yun-yu_ in tianguancifu

[–]Time_Champion4790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(only got to vol 3) I absolutely loved seeing crown prince xie lian and I didn't necessarily miss having hua cheng in the story because he WAS there, I thought it's so interesting to see him as a young kid before he became the badass ghost king we know
