Would anyone like to swap short stories – maybe up to 5000 words? I would welcome the chance to give and receive feedback—mostly on what works, and what maybe needs work, although grammar and typos also helpful—with a view to improving quality for publication.
I'm currently working on a novel that includes multiple points of view, and I'm struggling a bit with how to structure it so that readers stay engaged and not confused.
Each POV character has a distinct storyline that eventually converges, but I’m not sure how often to switch between them or how to handle transitions smoothly. I’ve read novels that do this brilliantly — like The Night Circus or A Song of Ice and Fire — but when I try, it feels either too jumpy or too slow.
Hi, I have been writing my story for 5 years. You see, its a story I need to tell. I am currently a teenager with hopes and aspirations to publish my story and have gone down the route of writing a novel on it. 40,000 words. I know it isn't much for a novel but its a lot for a teenager. I have the story written down to its bare bones and lots of dialogue but its not really flowing and I need to restructure the whole thing. I would really just like some advice and someone to understand how hard it actually is.
