Dear Boo is an advice journal for anyone who needs someone to talk to. I listen and give my advice about any topic possible. So, things such as rape, eating disorders, psychological disorders, self-harm, suicide attempts, abuse, and much more, will...
At the moment, before I start, I want to say thank you. Because of your advice, I have gotten through numerous problems. I want to ask how are you? Are you doing okay? How is your life going? I hope all is well.
Anyways, this isn't a major issue, but for once I have wanted to write a book that means a lot to me. I have the outline posted and the chapters. In the beginning, I knew what it was going to be about, including the context. I know it's cheesy, but I can't seem to find a new book title.
At first, I was going to have it to where an outgoing girl has cancer and meets a guy ready to end his life–that sort of thing. After doing research on the type of cancer she has I can't seem to find a different title to go along with it. I need help, please if you can.
Also, I could really use some advice on how you think my book is so far, if not that's okay.
Love, Oreo*

Dear Oreo*,
hey sweetie, thanks for writing to me again. I enjoy when people update me on what's going on since they last wrote to me.
Thank you so much for the compliment, I'm happy to hear that my advice has helped you at different times. I'm doing the best I can right now. I'm going through a lot of personal issues, but you know me – I never give up! So, I'm holding my head up. Thanks for asking about me, Oreo*.
I think it's wonderful that you're going to write a book your heart is truly set on. The plot is a good idea. Okay, let's check out your new book... you titled it “Couple Weeks Left”. I think a new title and cover would definitely help you in a big way. The first thing a reader sees is the cover, and even though we shouldn't, we do judge a book by its cover.
I'm not great with coming up with titles honestly but two came to mind when I read your chapters.
“One Last Wish" and “Holding On"
If anyone has an idea for a title please inline comment here. ——»
Waking up to an alarm is a cliche beginning, but it works. Actually. Not Like The Rest begins this way haha. There are some grammar and punctuation errors, and incomplete sentences that I noticed in the first couple of chapters. I can help you with if you would like, just let me know.
I would add some world-building and details about Asia with inner thoughts, emotions, and actions. You can change the point of view, but going from 1st to 3rd person is not recommended. I would stick to one. Maybe begin the scene with a glimpse into another character's point-of-view, or do the book in third person point of view.
With stage 4 cancer she wouldn't be functioning like she is, take that into consideration. Also, if you want Asia to survive at the end maybe change it to stage 2.
Remember, you want to try to hook your reader by the first chapter! Keep up the good work! Remember to always write for yourself first and foremost.
Love Always, Boo
