If anyone is up for a review swap, my book "Stone Sacrifice" will be completed at the end of the week! I'm always looking for more books to read and would love an honest review for my book as well.
Either let me know you want to read and review. Anyone who leaves a review on my book, I'm sure to read theirs as well and return the favor. Thank you and hope you enjoy!
I am wondering...what does the most audience want to see in a female antagonist that is the main character?
Do they want to see her good traits?
Do they want to see her have the bad ending she deserves?
Do they want to see why she is like this?
Do they have the 'ideal female antagonist' in their head?(eg. blonde hair, blue eyes, fake lips/breasts)
Ok, my book has a few characters in it, each sort of integral to Selena’s story. Her family: a mom, a dad, and a sister. She is also around an undercover cop and some people that kidnapped her.
What I need to know is as I am developing Selena’s story in other chapters would it be a bad idea to dedicate a chapter to certain characters to show what they are going through with her being missing?

Sheeeet I'm 15, a sophomore, and not doing so good in school right now but dang! This guy went into major depth about characters and looking on my characters, they're pretty bland on the characteristic side. This is a new semester for me at my high school and this really drives me to get back in the game of being an author!
Thank you so much INKITT and also Bryan Thomas Schmidt!
I never wrote long paragraphs, but I always list basic descriptions of my characters whenever I planned out my stories (usually a few sentences) and let whatever story I have better flesh out the characters, as there are times when I come up with something for my characters while writing a chapter or scene that I might not have originally thought of. I'm going to give this a shot to see how it turns out.

How do you recognize a great idea? How do you figure out if it's worthy your effort? James spells out the techniques he uses to generate his ideas and then separate the good ones from the less compelling ones.
