LOL, wait, which football game were u watching?

Might sound cliche, but it depends. Ultimately you know your story and characters best, writing is basically translating it from imagination onto paper and doing the best to make it as seamless as possible through various different techniques. But now that that's out of the way, I have a feeling your story will be character focused. Whether that's true or not, the dynamics between ur MC and supporting characters can certainly impact the story and make it more meaningful. If ur conflicted about whether u should include the older sister or not, just ask urself why you would include her in the story. Does she represent a certain theme that will be minorly explored alongside the main theme? Will her relationship with the MC be an inspiring one, having the older sister fall into more of a mentor role perhaps? Or would their relationship bring out the MC's darkest fears, as the MC finds herself jealous of her older sister's success and/or sense of responsibility? Really, there's a ton of possibilities what their relationship could be and I couldn't tell you all of that, you probably have a story of your own already in ur head. The idea is, if u wish to include the older sister in the story, its best u think of her role in the narrative and how it can amplify the story you already have in mind. And whether the sister is older or closer to her age, will probably not impact the story too much (it depends on ur narrative and the relationship between them). Having the MC's sister be closer to the age, you could make the strength of their relationship their close understanding of each other and deeply intimate siblinghood. To contrast, you can make the weakness of that same relationship that the MC struggles to find her individuality due to her growing used to spending most of her time with her twin sister. If u want the MC's sister to be older, you could make the strength of their relationship smth like the MC having someone more experienced and a "young lady" of sorts to look up to. Weakness could be the MC's fear of living up to her sister's expectations. These are all just examples, and they don't strictly belong into one category or the other. But the details you choose can make their dynamic a little more symbolic, which will make it feel more natural to the reader. Play around with the details enough, and you could end up creating a relatively unique dynamic that becomes a fresh experience for readers (I found it to be that way in Abbie's novel 100 Days of Sunlight). I hope this helped you and good luck with your story!

What exactly is a "musical story"

When the character sings

@@mateosawyers6059 in the book? That sounds interesting. I've never read a book like that

Abbie doesn't usually answer questions here on youtube so I sent you the links to some of her videos that will help

In case Abbie doesn't answer, there's no concrete pros or cons for point of view, I think. Abbie prefers to write in first person as she feels it is more immersive to her (I watch her videos). Altho other people could find third person more natural to them. First person does generally tend to be more immersive cuz of the whole "I, Me." stuff. But when I first tried first person it was difficult not to repeat the pronoun "I" alot. I personally prefer third person as thats what Im used to, but it has its own sort of problems as well. Like writing sentences with less agency unintentionally "The door opened" instead of "He opened the door." They have different types of cons that people can look over while writing. And also have their pros that the point of view you choose naturally makes you pay attention to more. My favorite combo personally is third person close, past tense, particularly in fantasy genres. I personally feel there's something fantastical about using that combinaton in fantasy stories. Although if I write anything more romance and close to real life, I find myself gravitating to the first person present tense combo. As Abbie herself said, there's no one right way to do things. U can experiment with what u like and prefer and see if it works for u. If u didnt find my comment helpful, I'm sure Abbie's posted videos discussing most, if not all of the stuff you mentioned in your comment.

@audicat2894 .. I know this was asked awhile ago, but basically concentrate on that "why does this matter?" and the point that you want to make with your story. There's not really any plot (sequence of events) that hasn't been done before, but the way it is told is unique (it's old, but still valuable--20 Master Plots by Ronald B Tobias)

I'm not one to give advice; considering the fact that I'm in the same situation, but it depends on how your book is structured. Say for example: If your character died out of nowhere and doesn't have a huge comeback - it's not going to be as interesting. If you have other characters, they're reaction itself could make his death more sad than it already is. List down some questions it'll help you a lot. Some examples are: How does his death affect the book? What is your reasoning for bringing him back? Just questions like that. As an Author you have to be able to kill off your characters - even if it's just for the sake of character development. Sure it'll break your reader's heart and yours as well. If you only bring characters back because you love them: it won't make any sense. Which ever one you decide to do, your book will be interesting as long as you have a good plot. So choose which one you think is best.

Sorry If my advice didn't make any sense. I'm really young and kind of new to writing. These are just some things that I really think will help you.

Maybe you can just kill him towards the middle. That could be the plot twist actually

@@NinjaPenguin1108 I killed him in the middle of my my series in the middle of the book. Killing him broke MY HEART!!! And to make matters worse, I drew him like as what he would look like, and now I love him even more!!! This hurts!!!! lol, he reminds me of my big brothers!!!

@@oceanalyrics4891 Hey, I'm probably younger than you so whatever advice you have, I'LL TAKE IT!!! don't let your age hold u back. If you're a great writer, then write! And if you have advice to give, give it! Cuz you never know who will benifit from your story and advice!!!

In case Abbie doesn't respond, I like to make little things (the little things are the clues) important. For example, maybe your character can notice somthing strange about the antagonist or they can notice a small detail. That's how I like to do it anyway and it's just one way

Read books that you know do this well (make sure you know what the twist is) and take notes! I’ve done this a couple of times and have been super at how plainly some things were written.

@@NinjaPenguin1108 Thanks for the advice! Since there's more than one protagonist, I was thinking maybe one of them will catch on before the others (my deuteragonist in this case). However, I don't want my antagonist to be revealed until towards the end of my book. Although, there will be other plot twist: such as, the contagonist(s) revealing. Other plots as well leading up to the big reveal of the antagonist.

@@caceymalone4566 Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

@@oceanalyrics4891 sounds like it'll be a great book! Hope I get to read it someday!

Add on to that question Abbie, can you have more than one character with the same misbelief???

or more misbeliefs!

In case Abbie doesnt answer, yes there have been stories with more than one main character. Its more popular in fantasy stories and similar genres where a wider cast can be regularly found. There's no single way for it to work u can incorporate it by switching POVs whenever it fits the story or perhaps other methods. I do believe the very novel Abbie published "100 Days of Sunlights" might be written in the style of having two main characters. Im no expert but the short answer is yes you can. But the more main characters u have the more ull have to delve into each one's thoughts and work on their extensive character work. If u feel its important to the story that they both have this role, then probably go for it. Otherwise it'd probably sacrifice the pacing and the focus. U need to make sure why ur doing it, basically. Hope this helps somehow.

@@thebobman1834 oh my gosh ty!!! And yes, it does help, thanks for taking the time :) 💕

@@klaraleavesley8127 Yes but its probably safer to switch it up. Or at the very least, have them believe in it for different reasons. Let's say both characters have a misbelief of loyalty to the kingdom (for example). On the surface, they both have a misbelief to be loyal and protect the kingdom. But u could have their reasonings/inner desires be different. One character for example, could do it out of a sense of national righteousness. This land was meant to be theirs and no other kingdom shall stand in their way. If they are not the ones ruling, then nobody can rule (just as an example). The other for example, could see it in a different way. They could have been born originally outside the kingdom and now live here as a "second rate citizen". So they climb the ranks and work hard and demonstrate loyalty so that they can feel like they belong. They don't want to feel like outsiders anymore, they want a secure region/faction they can call home. A safety blanket or something. So on the surface, they both believe they need to be loyal to this certain kingdom to get what they want (One national righteousness, the other social security). But their desires are not the same not even close. If u dont have the characters differ in any way, then they might as well be the same character. Short answer is; probably okay to have the same misbelief as long as there is some clear variety with the desires. (Hope this helped Im no pro)

AMY RAY! U HAVE A KZfaq CHANNEL????
