Hot take but I LOVE epilogues. A free bonus chapter? I’m here for it

@TheRobertBurne Thanks for the tip!

Scrivener looks so helpful but it’s basically the same price as MS word which I’d probably need anyway.

Writers, is it worth it?

@DestinyRaeSmith BEST FEELING EVER!! 🥳

@Stacey_Dighton Multiple! It’s helped me explore deeper character dynamics and emotional stakes. But weirdly, on the same project, switching mid-chapter has had the opposite effect!

How did I add chapters to this rewrite and still end up with the same number?

@DelGeo14 @Lilrebel23 This is awesome! How did you find people to swap with?

My unpopular #trope opinion:

Sometimes, miscommunication works in a story!
☑️ creates mystery and raises tension
☑️ tests characters’ limits and trust
☑️ emotional results when the truth is out

What’s yours?

@AuthorBWalters When all the characters become romantic partners at the end (wouldn’t put a book down for this, but it’s so overdone)

What’s a trope you would NEVER write a story without?

For me, I have to include at least some form of found family ❤️

I know monolog is correct in American but monologue looks so much nicer 😭

@ladyzenik I wonder if using body language to balance out the contrasting styles would help?

random reminder: if you had to take a big break from writing because of your mental health you're still a writer and i love u <3
