The Night of the Mare

Yep! I'll work on it more today. But I do have a question: Should I write the book and then go back and fix everything, or write a chapter and get everything PERFECT before moving on?

I vote write a rough draft then move on. There will be plenty of time for fixing later. But for now, don't aim for perfection or you will never finish. (That's been my experience, I'm no expert)

Thank you so much for the tips! I think I'm going to write and edit later!

I was just thinking that maybe you'd like to check out this site: https://www.thesaurus.com/
I use it a lot and maybe you'd like to too. I like to repeat the same word over and over, but the word will wear out its welcome. So with that site, I can type in my overused word, and find other words to use in its place.

Example: Cheerfully

Great first chapter!!! I agree with the suggestions that have already been said! Maybe try adding some more figurative language to describe more! I'm excited for the next chapter!

I just use whatever pops up first on the Google search bar! I come across the one you posted often, though.

It's very helpful, so that's probably why it keeps pulling up. My pen pal is in college, and I think one of her teachers suggested it to her.

Do you ever get those moments when you look through every thesaurus you can find but none of the words work how you wanted? I get that sometimes, and wish I could make up words!

I'm not the best writer and quite terrible at grammar, but I still enjoy it!
