I read a little bit and commented. 🩷

Very much appreciated! I will need to check it. Google docs did not send notification. Might be a setting thing.

Thank you!!

In the comments, I recommended a book, but I wanted to recommend another one: "How to Write a Dynamite Scene Using the Snowflake Method" by Randy Ingermanson

If you go to his website most of the content is on his website and you might not even need the book.

And honestly, it's really the checklist at the back of the book that is going to be the most helpful.

Oh, no. I’m sad to hear this. Someone told me to post on watt pad to receive constructive criticism.

Yeah I did the same. But their whole algorithm ranking system is more popularity contest & s4s, r4r, c4c. For me being blind doing that is hard and I wanted to know is what I am doing good and how to do better and change things. I’ve gotten feedback here vs Wattpad.

I see. I didn’t realize it had an algorithm. That’s unfortunate for most and fortunate for a select few.

Yeah in a subreddit for Wattpad that’s a common complaint & then there’s the share for share,read for read, comment for comment spam & I was like this makes sense. I would look at other avenues , I am to get the feedback to improve my story & how I am writing it. Best of luck with your project(s)!!
