hello- Teen beginner fantasy author here

[Fant@asyaspiringauthor05]

hi I started writing last year, but I didn't think it through properly and unfortunately was unexperienced so I ended up no having a magic system or world build. When I had writer's block I tried using a website called SudoWrite however I didn't realise at the time that this website was an ai assistant for authors so I let it make my outline and magic system, and I recently realised it was ai and stopped using it. I've deleted the parts written in ai and rewrote them in my own words and have just started recreating my own magic system and world, I've done quite good so far but since I'm only a beginner and don't have much experience I was wondering if anyone had any tips also I am only on chapter 3 of my first draft, nearly on chapter 4

Welcome, and well done ditching the AI.
If you post things in the critique requests area, people will usually read and offer thoughts. For anything you might want to publish someday that is best as it has different visibility way from this site, and doesn't count as publishing a piece of work, whereas other areas of the forums may be regarded as publishing.

Heya, good to have you. I was a teen who started writing... once. (Don't ask me how long it's been since then...)

I'm seriously curious as to what you're writing about, too.

I don't really know how to explain it

I get that, but! It'd be great practice to try and put it into words anyway. Just to prod you a little

Hi this is my other account. I have 2 as my other one got locked temporarily, for too many attempts to log in. (I wrote the wrong password by mistake.) So I'll be using this one for now. And other times too, but I'll be using the other account more often than this one, most likely. As to what it's about I'll just copy and paste my outline of the whole story because I'm too lazy to type it all. And I can't attach the link because it has all my character descriptions and other information. Here's what it's about or like a rough idea of what it's about, as when writing the outline I wasn't sure how to explain it.

Elara, a twelve-year-old girl with extraordinary elemental powers, awakens one night to a horrifying discovery - her parents, both members of the elite Crystal Guard, have vanished without a trace. Frightened and alone, Elara soon finds an unexpected ally in her young neighbour, Eva, who reveals she witnessed a ransom note left on Elara's doorstep before being knocked unconscious by an unknown assailant. The note demands that Elara bring a mysterious "celestial pendant" to a remote fortress in the elemental realm Forbiddium in exchange for her parents' safe return.

Despite the danger, Eva bravely volunteers to join Elara on her perilous quest, undaunted by the girl's formidable abilities to control more than two elements which is extremely rare. The elements she controls are: sun, ice, water, fire, and wind – this has made Elara an outcast among the other children since she was very young. As the two young adventurers set out on their journey, they find themselves thrust into a world of ancient prophecies and puzzles, where powerful forces seem to be at work behind the scenes of Elara's parents' disappearance.

As Elara, Eva and some allies they find along the way brave treacherous challenges and face off against mysterious foes, the true scope of the conflict begins to reveal itself. It becomes clear that the celestial pendant is no mere trinket, but a powerful artifact tied to an ancient prophecy. With Elara's parents' lives hanging in the balance, the girls must race against time to reach the fortress.

Upon reaching the fortress, the group discover that the kidnapper is none other than a rogue member of the Crystal Guard, driven by a thirst for power and a desire to control Elementerthalassium. In a climactic confrontation, Elara is forced to confront not only her own fears about her abilities, but also the true extent of the ancient prophecy that seems to have been guiding her steps all along. As the battle rages, Elara must make a choice - will she embrace her destiny as the prophesied elemental master, or will she risk everything to save her parents and protect the delicate balance of the realms?

In the end, Elara's journey of self-discovery and her unwavering determination to rescue her parents lead her to a pivotal moment where she must harness the full extent of her powers to vanquish the rogue Guard member and restore peace to Elementerthalassium. As the dust settles, the group emerges as heroes, their bond of friendship strengthened by the trials they have faced, and Elara's parents are finally reunited with their daughters, their faith in her abilities forever changed.

(I still need to edit quite a lot of stuff, now that I've had advice so that's why I said it's a rough outline it probably will need editing.)

If i may suggest, two main characters with such similar names may become confusing.

I named them that based on the meanings Elara means light, Eva means life and 2 other characters who haven't been introduced yet Azriel means fated to die (I think it's obvious what's going to happen to him, he'll come back to life though and he's Eva's older brother and Elara's love interest) and Esmeray means dark moon she's Elara's younger twin sister.

If you ever partake in fanfiction, don't fall into the trap of the 'super long fanfic that seamlessly blends in from one show/game I like to the next'
Not a fun rabbit hole to go down (which I shamefully did as a teen heh)
Welcome in.

Thank you, and I don't think I'd be very good at fanfiction. (This is my other account by the way I tried to log in to the other one too many times, so It's temporarily locked.)
