Haha I feel that! If you ever want help getting it right from start, feel free to look into the free consults our developmental editors and story coaches offer on www.obaconnect.com! We know how to help you brainstorm and map out the unspoken things before you start writing 🙂

Right! And you know what the crazy thing about this magic is? As an editor, I often see a lot of these unspoken threads start connecting naturally out of nowhere as you go through the writing/editing process! It’s like the story knows what ingredients it needs, we just have to bring them out.

Our creative team members were just talking about why dystopian and dark fantasy novel genres touch us enough to become trends of the decade, and how they are connected with revolution tropes due to the way humans process the times we are living in.

That’s brutal. Getting critique—especially public critique—from someone you admire can shake your confidence. But the fact that your work made it onto their radar at all? That means you’re doing something right. Keep writing, keep pushing forward. Their opinion isn’t the final word on your story.

500 words is still progress! Some days the words flow, some days they fight back—but every sentence gets you closer to 'The End.' You got this! What’s the scene giving you the most trouble?

And somehow, that one inch difference changes everything. 😂 Tall enough to be intimidating? Short enough for that perfect height difference trope? The struggle is real.
