Writing The Last Spark (Book 1 of 3). Dark fantasy about hidden power and resistance.

Check me out:

I've read enough manuscripts to know — the middle is where most stories quietly fall apart. Not dramatically. Just slowly. Scenes start existing instead of mattering. Writers, your middle needs a clock. Something ticking. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity"

@BetaCynthia7723 Ooffff it’s like you read my manuscript 2 weeks ago. I realized it was very much this.

Location, something happens, how character feels…

New location.

Dynamite insight more people need to hear!

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@SoulEngine78 Love that. I find myself liking the worlds that are built more than the characters most the time. When the book (s) are over being sad I cannot explore the world more.

What's the first book that made you love fantasy? Mine was the Harry Potter series. Looking for recommendations for what to read while I wait for beta reader feedback. #BookTwt

@SoulEngine78 What did you like most about it?

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@Zoejwalker 100% dying in the first week. I have a very “process improvement” and displeasure for inefficiency so with present day knowledge of how things work I know my annoyance would show up on my face and actions and get me in a lot of problems 😅

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@DirkBruere @RW_Blackwood Thank you for the education. I have learned I guess to better vet freelance designers.

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

I’ve learned a lot in the short time I’ve joined X. I appreciate everyone’s help truly from your posts. #WritingCommunity

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@RW_Blackwood @onyxwrites17 Yeah I figured this out after 2 DMs. Again, thank you.

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@RW_Blackwood I appreciate you. I’ve reached out to the person who did it for a refund and took it down. Thank you 🙏

Anyone want to do Chapter 1 swaps or anything I am here. #writing #books

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@bymallorymcd I am willing to do chapter 1 swaps with people if interested.

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@sareliols This makes both my eyes twitch. You menace.

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@musicalmollay That’s awesome. Also cool of you, don’t mind the haters.

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@Jdsamuels25 So… are you an author? Asking for a friend who has bowls of dumbass for breakfast…

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@AuthorGFAllen Getting the book of course. I was much more interested before at the sales pitch 😂

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@realevelyncross Because they get so mad. Picture it: piles of gold everywhere, and eventually they step barefoot on a chalice. It’s the same fire a parent breathes after stepping on a Lego.

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@AuthorGFAllen Not favorite author per se, but if I like a book in a series I’ll get the released book even if I’m still 3-4 behind. 😅 it’s a problem.

[DK Hookton @DKHookton]

@Lynnette_Novak I can share two things I have struggled with but have taken time to improve but unsure about everyone else.

1. Over explaining to a reader the situation or emotion and not letting them get to it themselves or their own take on it.

2. Expanding initially on a solid outline.
