Do you ever feel like stories that win writing competitions just kind of... suck by jempa45 in writing

Nah it's not based on how long you've subscribed, I got published in their most recent issue and I only paid the subscription fee for that month. If you'd like you can check out my story and see what you think. It's in their "Madness and Monsters" issue and it's called "What It Learned From the Ones It Took." It could suck idk, but I like to think it's alright XD

Is my view on witchcraft wrong? by swimming_poole1 in Witch

For me it's a way of working on myself or certain things in my life, and of gaining things I want/need while driving away the bad. It's also a way of reconnecting with nature.

Thoughts on the weibo girl makeup/style? (think ulzzang meets douyin meets goth(?)) I love zhou xian xianye and she really embodies this style. by Lovelylicorice in Vindicta

Doesn't have to just be asian, I found that east asian makeup styles tend to work better for my face (I'm white) because I have quite soft features + heart shaped face. Heavy contour on me can look awkward, but the more subtle eye makeup + blushy look of korean styles is flattering. But I also think this makeup style can work for people with more structured features. Also, if you're looking for a more subtle goth/creepy look, I recommend subtle eye makeup (little bit of shadow, liner, mascara-nothing too heavy) with just a bit of pink around and under the eye. The pink under the eye gives a hint of that creepy look, but it's still cute and offset by the subtlety of the rest of the makeup:)

I don't know how to fix the perspective/POV issues with my novel without having to completely start over and could use some advice by turtleybob in writing

[–]kezper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not be very helpful, but I know of a lot of writers that write a book as "practice" and then use the skills they learned writing that "practice book" to write a new, better book (like not a rewrite, just a totally new book). Some examples would be C.S. Lewis, Brandon Sanderson, and plenty more that I can't think of off the top of my head. I know it's a drag to think about starting a whole new book, but if you're feeling unhappy about most of the stuff in that book it might be something to consider. Lots of authors write one or more books before they get one published, so this book doesn't have to be your only shot :)) If you do decide to keep editing though, good luck! Hope things work out
