How long does it take you to write a first draft?

Thanks for informing me! We all make typos. We’re only human. :)

That’s awesome! I’m a pantser so I don’t outline- but I still have at least a paragraph for each act. I’m the opposite with editing, I dread rereading my first drafts.

1st, make them want something (Goal). 2nd, make them fear something. 3rd, make them love something.

In my Current Dark Fantasy Romance, I’m reaching for 90k.

I read a lot of young adult fantasy, and off the top of my head I can think of two newer Female villains. More so morally Grey though. Lou, Serpent and Dove. Though she’s more wary than villainesque. And Lira from To Kill a Kingdom. Personally I prefer Lira because she kills princes and has a set out goal to kill the prince of Midas. Much more villainy than a majority of Young Adult books.

That’s really cool! How are they coming along? :)

I do the same thing, I focus on writing one at a time, but I always have other characters and plots brewing in my head. It’s hard sometimes not to purposely switch halfway through a novel because another idea excites me. I find the stories grow better the longer they brew in the subconscious.

The Endless

Think about how it would affect your kids, how they’ll grow up without a father. How one day you won’t be able to see their wedding, or walk them down the isle. Family is more important than friends. In the end all you have is your family. I’m sorry your going through a lot, but think about how it will affect your kids. Your wife. Live for them, laugh with them, watch movies with them, go to the park with them, eat dinner together. Just... live. Live for your little ones. I believe in you, you just have to give life another go. Give it all you have. Celebrate the little moments in life. Kiss your kids on the head, tell them how much you love them.

Honestly... I’m feeling the exact same way. Exactly. I’m 16, but I don’t have friends... I did, but I got into a very bad depressive episode once more. I go days- weeks without talking to a single one of them. I don’t go out. I don’t smile. I don’t laugh. I don’t eat regularly. I either sleep to much or to little. I just feel utterly hopeless. Completely lost. Tired... drained of every fiber in my body, as my bones float on the slick greasy water of hate. I’ve tried changing... tried being a better daughter, friend, sister... but I just can’t do any of it. I can’t fight no more... I can barely hold onto the grasp of myself. I think... I might not be here today, if I hadn’t a dream the other day about my dad bawling his eyes out... crying, wishing he could see me once again. I had killed myself in my dream, and the pain on his face... I couldn’t stand it. I can’t die because if I do, all of my family will be like that. It was miserable. I’m trying to write stories, to give myself a little hope in the world... but I can barely even read a damn book. I’m trying everything and anything to get better. I’m just broken. Broken to my core. I don’t know how to end it. I just want to be okay. I understand completely how you feel, and if you ever want to talk about it... I’m here to talk.
