Im working on my second chapter and is it weird that im still not in love with my characters or my story? does this happen to all authors? will i eventually fall in love with my own story? what suggestion would you give to help console myself?
Do you at least like your characters? Because if you don't have a connection with your characters, neither are the people who are going to read it. It's important that you're enjoying what you're doing. If you don't love your plot, if you don't have any excitement whatsoever, then it's going to reflect on the outcome. I think that the further you get, the more in love with the plot you will become, but if you don't have fun writing it now, I doubt you will in the future. I suggest thinking really hard on how much this story means to you, because if it doesn't mean much, then you probably just need a new idea.
do u think that its harder to get into ur story in the beginning few chapters? im having this problem. do u think that as i keep writing more, ill be more into it and will come to love my characters more?
I think that the more you write it, the more you'll get into the storyline, the more you'll connect to your characters, and the more you'll want to finish it. I always have this "three-chapter" dilemma. Where I post because I'm so excited for the new plot, realize that I don't really have that much inspiration for it yet after three chapters, and then delete it. So, for me, after I pass three parts, I'm home-free. It's different for everyone. I do think as you keep writing more that you'll get more into it and love your characters more because that's what happens to me. I hope that's what happens!Good luck!
ASHLEY I just saw that fact about the lock bridge in Paris and the A thing and I JUST STARTED WATCHING PLL GOSH stop giving me feels
I'm A. and I eat souls. mwahahahahahaaa -cough- haahaha -cough- haaahaa -cough- ha -cough- heh -cough-cough-cough-FEEEELS. APPARENTLY IM GIVING EVERBODY FEELS TODAY IDEK.

I almost signed the lock for the lock bridge in paris, "I'm A." 8. i'm an introvert. almost completely socially awkward 9. my favorite show is new girl 10. if andy wins Big Brother i'm probably going to throw something 11. I pick one side of a love triangle and hate the other guy. if I cant hate the other guy, I hate the girl for playing with their hearts. idek it's just how I work with books. 12. I've only cried about a book once 13. I laugh when people yell at me in comments for doing terrible things to characters (sorrynotsorry ahah) 14. sometimes I get legitimately upset that TMI is just a series and not real life. 15. colton Dixon. I have to see him live before I die. 16. my closet has been turned into a library. 17. im getting my book self-published, yay! 18. i'm sixteen years old 19. I want to have a birthday people with just friends from wattpad someday but know that that's probably not going to happen since all my friends have the audacity to live out of the country -sniffle- 20. I complain a lot when im torturing my characters because I miss the character im actually torturing. I get no sympathy for this idk why 21. I have way too many upcoming stories 22. I have three cats and they're all stupid. legitimately. my cat ran into the heater once. it's not even easy to run into, but she managed. and then my other cat like stares at the bathtub like she's in love with it. she has an affair with the toilet and sink, but we cant tell the tub, shh! 23. i used to be petrified of going outside because of coyotes. now i just hate outdoors. 24. i have a bad habit of making accounts and forgetting about them. 25. i don't have the ability to hate anyone. i cant stay mad for more than five minutes, usually, and i just..don't hate anyone. except for Christopher Columbus. in creative writing i had to write a letter to someone i hated, and i wrote to him. i told him that i would have pushed him off the boat myself.i cant believe i actually did it. oh crap that means the first fact about me is wrong. sheesh.26.

there were a number of reasons for the change. (: it felt like i was going through seventh grade all over again because they took us away from our teams and threw us with all these new people. and i barely made it through seventh grade, let me tell you. i bawled my eyes out every day for a long time in seventh grade, and the whole first week of school this year i was bawling my eyes out. basically, huge classes with barely anyone i knew, tiny classrooms, too many people at the school in general, i was becoming a really bitter person, and the stress was driving me insane.yep yep. xD
