So some one that like is a psyco? Acting like that care for others but only do what they do to win something out of it?
Like being nice for a while before they make the kill and get what they want from the beginning.
The question is who they kill and why (motive) and how they will get there.

I just started reading more. To learn and grow into writing. Reading for me is okay... It depends on the material. It a book is slow pace ore does not have me hookt i go to the next. I guess in the odd duck that stopt reading when i was a teen and start as a grown up.

Teaching is a great job, i love kids and had a few months in class for internship. I guess its normal way of pay where you are but i dont think should be. Every one should make a way of living so that they can live. In Europa we get payment every month if they are to late they need to pay 5% on top.

Working less hours worked for me some time ago. But building up a pension and planning family stuff made it necessary to work more. It hard on the creative mind and i miss having free time. Sometimes i got a hour a week and if tos not much at least its something. Dont give up 😉

I would ask some one to write a song because the main character is a song writer.

Just write and then read and mark what you think can be cut ✂️ Something i did when i was looking on what i could cut out was what scènes i could combine. If nothing can be cut and it the work is just good then leave it the way it is
There is no rule that tells you how many words. You make the rules😉

And start to thing about the usefullness of the scene. A scene where there is no development that has no importange to a story can be... Boring.
A nother way it the writing with a twist story line method. Look it up on Google. If you really want to learn more look for a creative writing studie 😉

Most of the time i start with a sort of story line like. Maincaracters home base - event that turns here life up side down.- how to fix it - almost fixt- another crash into the pit - the day is saved by the cataract ore the hero. Than start to make up the sence on where they fit in the best 1/2

The tone in the back of the book is different than in the book. First impression is important to sell a book.

Read Christian books for that. I read spice and non spice but sometimes i get tired of spice and just want to read something Romantic and cute well written. Im having a hard time finding that without falling back on supermarket non spice novelle. My favorite novelle that has it all is Maya & Domenic

I also have bin reading Dutch Christian novels and they sucked. No tempo and it was like the writers where stuck in the 80s. I just would love to see more flavor in the market then spice and also asked some teens around me what there thoughts where and it was ditto. You should not have to 1/2

Like the title: Bride. You know its a novelle but not if it has spice until you buy and read it.
One book that i thought was really misleading was icebreaker the front and back of the book made me think its was a innocent romance but it was vulgar. It sucks because the writing style was nice.

Sometimes i dont want to read "spicy" and have a hard time knowing if it has spice ore not. But to be honest i think the spice should be in the New Adult category because not all 13 year old s are waiting for a book with spice. I would be annoyed seeing spice in books al the time. Maybe stop reading

i looked up the publisher of my favorite books. went to their website and looked up how to submit my work. often by email. i don't have an agent and approach publishers myself. if possible, there is one that is almost never open for public submissions and wants to go through an agent 😔

Have a A story and a B story and make then connect to each other after a few chapters. There is also a format to build up your story and give it more excitement and body but i dont know the English term. This kind of thing you should be able to learn at a creative writers course.

I spent some time last year learning how to write a pitch ore a back of a book cover. One or the things i learned was that you should be able to pack the essence of the book in two lines. And that some writers use the blockbuster scenario on the back of the book.

I notest that google does not understand some of the question i ask, i get bogus awns. I am a member of different writing social media channels and sometimes i ask questions and get 0 back. I think human art should be protected but that we humans also give ai better ways to learn so it can help us.

As in writing indeed. But i also see the usefullness of it. Of i have a question that google ore no one seems to want to answer it helps. It i want to make a visual picture of a character it helps. (After i tell in a prompt how it looks). It all depends on the material they use to make it learn.

That blinky cursor idd annoying. I used to just go write and had a general idea of where the story was going. But idd the parts inbetween were hard. I Learn to write with a order of Twist Happing Danger and Substory and then back to Twist. To get more order. And also to plot before i begin writing;)
