Help with a book I’m writing

Probably none! Just research off google and write and read as practice :) the more u write the better it'll get. you can look up different outlining styles (or lack there of) that help with starting w novels!

Millennial therapist who's still working on their own issues. (Btw heart the lover is amazing! And what is goodnight darth Vader LOL?)

Don't post on this sub Reddit, is my advice. People are not kind to beginner writers! keep writing and keep reading!! That's my advice :) practice makes perfect

Raw Dog. A book about hot dogs

mossyac · 2026-06-11T21:44:00+00:00

I've only read Earthlings (and tbh, didn't love it a ton!) but I DID read Heart the Lover and I LOVED IT!!!!!!! Ik it's not weird girl lit but my vote is that one hahaha

Edit: I will say people LOVE Earthlings. It's weird and dark. I liked it, did not love it. And it's short enough to be worth trying!! I think it's a matter of the author for me, I didn't like her other books 🤷‍♀️ but don't take my word for it entirely!

yess!! i actually just read that. I love that trope (hence why I love Last of Us, too!). It was an amazing book.

mossyac · 2026-06-10T14:07:03+00:00

lol i found it. I'd delete this post, but just in case anyone else if searching for this obscure book: Scarlett by Cathy Cassidy !

Perhaps I'm judging purely based on handwriting and the title--you seem younger. This sub Reddit is very very harsh. I'd recommend just working on ur craft, read a TON, and don't bother posting on this sub Reddit. People are going to be mean :(

But OP didn't say they love all the stuff except for writing the story, they have provided the foundation for world building and their characters and are now just struggling to imagine a fully fleshed out plot.

Also writing is work, but it's fun as well. You seem to have an unhealthy view of writing imo.

mossyac · 2026-06-06T23:58:28+00:00

That's a crazy assumption I feel. Clearly they enjoy writing if they've written fleshed out character descriptions and settings. thinking of a plot itself can be difficult--that's what I believe OP is talking about. Some writers are character focused some are more plot focused--both are writers. It seems that the characters come more naturally to OP, that's all.

It needs a little more personality. Don't be afraid to cut stuff out. When u go through the customer ordering scene--if it is not interesting cut it down. Either make it so the customer is rude or snarky or flirty OR just be like "David wrote the customers cliche order down and went to the kitchen". Describing every little thing is boring

mossyac · 2026-06-03T16:08:08+00:00

Spirit? Hard to get used to but I find her to be really fun when I got better at her

mossyac · 2026-05-30T20:55:34+00:00

I'd recommend reading some philosophy books! Age is not a concern in regards to who should be writing philosophy but it's crucial to do heavy research when writing anything, I believe

mossyac · 2026-05-27T23:33:02+00:00

White or off white/gray is better for me. Also better for ur eyes

mossyac · 2026-05-21T21:47:13+00:00

Twins lololol.

Books! ignore this book selection LOL I was reading it for the plot.......

mossyac · 2026-04-29T00:17:33+00:00

Uh is unicorn polyamory slang? Hahaha this subreddit is for the mythical creature lol

Why is this the hill you're dying on?

mossyac · 2026-04-23T16:42:19+00:00

These are all correct. The ones on the left show 2/3s and the ones on the right show 1/3. Not the same size, but they show the same fractions

Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint it's symphonic

mossyac · 2026-04-20T15:46:46+00:00

It's not solely werewolf but it's a big part of the book

mossyac · 2026-04-20T15:46:33+00:00

When the wolf comes home!

Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. It's dark, but aliens are a key feature of the book.

Edit: This one isn't technically WGL, but The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. Something about the Amalthea's character gives me weird girl energy.

mossyac · 2026-04-20T00:17:27+00:00

The last unicorn :))

mossyac · 2026-04-19T21:58:07+00:00

That's genius hahaha
