I have been racking my brain on how to start my novel with the main character but everything i want to write predates his needs/wants im not talking prologue just destination and time line does it matter with multiple pov or i also tried to change the main character but it does work or should I...

Your always so right. I have come to realise that my ambitions do out weigh my skill and have started to take out the complexities of work out these days stream lining it down to a simple hero's journey boy goes get item goes home different. But I'm still going to leave some what if questions...

The problem i have it is a key detail but I'm trying to trim down my ideas in my novel not expand them In my novel if I go to deep with a plutocracy then it will take away from my main journey. But I keep growing expanding it then have to trim it down again in cycles lol

Yeah I just wanted to illustrate that they misunderstood in the most realistic way like our own languages I didn't want to create a whole new language like Tolkien for when orcs are with my human. Then I thought why not just translate it to German, French Spain etc. But then I thought that would...

1, I think with the crystal must neutralise the earth or combine them with the earth or the goddesses spirit/ consciousness. 2, if the state is the dominion of wealth and greed the others would follow to appease that 3. I think even if a dominion falls there resources would be intact or totally...

Thank you again. Yeah I am a little strange though I do believe alot would agree they would over think to much before the start. I am starting on the 1st after that no feedback till the end then il ask millions of more questions but for now at least I feel satisfied I have most of my answers...

In soft-skin villages, they say each warrior has their own tale. But what if there's only ONE great story, told by different warriors around different fires? Like when our clan witnesses a battle - each warrior sees it their own way! Some watch the blood spray, others follow the swing of axes...

I actually struggle with the telling part lol my best preferred writing is detailed descriptions without dialogue but I think that these examples are just tester/ feelers because this book is all about perspectives and opions and how each race is discriminated and stereotyped so I want to show...

Thank you for your reply my story each character and chapters by there own recollection and monologues so I could tone it down just need it to be distinctive. I'll be doing alot of trail and error. Don't know if anyone will like it still though hahah

These are great ideas to think about to be honest I think i have changed from going done a political branch in my story now but I think that now it's more turned to a cult than a government to over throw but I will show there is some boundary to separate the mother and son from being together.

Do you like any of the styles? because you said it depends on the execution but I dont know what that means I want to get to know before I start my draft.

Im sorry to annoy you with all my questions I have been greatful for your replies. I don't feel like there is a book like the one I want I've tried to find them but I also know that I'm doing alot of what people on tube, reviews, advices say not to do? But then also they say do what you feel? So...

How badly would you be able to go to put off a reader. GRUUUUGH! In soft-skin villages, they always grunt about how each warrior has own tale to tell. But what if there only ONE tale, told by different warriors around different war-fires? HAH! Like when whole orc clan sees same battle, but...

i have so many ideas i think there might be alot of bad ideas, well i mean for this story they can be used else were or morphed to something different but this time i just dont have the skill to acheive the goal i was after that made it bad. so im rethinking of using older tried and true ideas

What bad ideas have you had to compromise on when you are writing to make it work? I think I might end up changing the premises i started with and do a traggic compromise and either make a sad decision to dumb the telling of my story by instead of a link seal by a kiss just make them linked by...
