I decided to completely revamp and rewrite a story I had been working on, and I have written 16,096 words so far! I’m proud of myself for even doing this much, What with being a mom and having a full time job (: it’s been hard to find time to work on writing, but I’m powering through! If you keep at the rate you’re going, you’re for sure going to kick that word count in the butt!

@rose.bloom
The AbsoluteWrite forum is fantastic in my experience - lots of insights to be found. And it doesn't suffer from the problem a lot of other communities do, where beginners fill up the community with the same few questions over and over again, because there's a "basic writing questions" subforum they can use. (Plus, you know, a search function.)

---

Anyway!!! I know a lot of you don't follow the lazy writers thread, so I thought I'd go ahead and advertise my writing competition over here too. Ends on Jan 7, though I might extend it if there are very few entries. First prize is 50C$.
I'm socially awkward and sometimes terse - don't mind me.

Hello everyone! I'm SunnyJustice, a new member glad to finally find a thread like this. I started writing when I was nine years old and continued throughout my elementary and high school years. Now as a university student, I still write, although I have stopped doing NaNoWriMo because of time constraints in the November month.
I'm currently working on a story aimed for YA audiences. The placeholder title for now is "The Light of Delra" and it's a hopepunk/fantasy genre with odd superpowers, found family, and resistance through hope. It puts a spin on the typical rebellion story by resolving conflicts through compassion, not more violence. I want to touch on topics such as environmentalism, diversity and equality in an age-appropriate and positive manner.


Describe the plot of the story you're currently working on as terribly as you can:
Clichéd pair of enemies-to-friends save the world with the power of friendship.


Oooh and I have some questions for you. I hope this is okay:
Code: Select all
[b]What are the greatest fears of your main characters?
Optional: Are they forced, by the plot, to face their fears?[/b]


Code: Select all
[b]Does your story have underlying themes or morals? What are they?
Optional: Why did you choose them?[/b]



@Piefan
I know I'm not the original asker, but thank you for the recommendations! I will check out the forum and writing competition. This would be my first time entering, so I'm gonna work up some courage and take a look. :)

Nice to meet you Sunny!

What are the greatest fears of your main characters?
Optional: Are they forced, by the plot, to face their fears?

One of Kwet's greatest fears is losing his friend Aveth, whether it be Aveth dying or leaving or his respect/friendship.
He has to face Aveth dying several times and then losing him when Aveth's family comes into the story and end up disapproving of the many things Kwet did during the war.
Spindrift fears dying alone, not actual death but facing it on his own. I don't know if he's going to face that yet
Tovoth fears becoming too close to someone. Their species can literally go into shock and shut down and die basically if a loved one dies because of how relient they can become for emotional support on others. He ends up facing this when he accidentally becomes friends with Veem and later is ordered to kill Veem for supposed disloyalty

Does your story have underlying themes or morals? What are they?
Optional: Why did you choose them?

There's a variety of ideas that I play around with but one I'm planning on emphasizing is nonfamillial platonic relationships. Baiscally friendships.
It just seems like in so much media and so much just everyday life is so hyperfocused on romatic relationships. I just wanted to write a story where its baisically the opposite and see where it takes me
