hello! you seem to know a lot about writing (at least thats what I'm guessing by having read your book the prickled heart) so i was wondering if you could give me some advice on my book https://www.wattpad.com/story/54437259 ??? thanks so much if you do :-)

@opulenz-a I think your writing strength is in your descriptions- the way you depict each movement and moment is truly wonderful. I had always been weak in that part, although  I can say I am learning. The thing about writing is that it does not only revolve around how a story is written but how it plays out in the mind of both its readers and its writer. Something can be written beautifully without making much sense- admittedly, that had happen to me loads of times. Plot plays a vital role in the development of a story, never forget that.
            
            Truthfully so, I cannot really give you steadfast advice on writing because I, too, am also learning even now. That is why I am also taking up a degree on it. But if I could give you advice, I'd say you should just keep on writing as long as you can because that is how you learn. 
            
            And another thing, writing needs to be felt in the heart and mind. Your works are the vessels into which your emotions and beliefs are poured out to. Write with purpose, my lovely, that is all I can say.
            
            Sorry if I only replied just now, I did not have time to open my accounts beforehand. I think you are a promising writer, keep up the good work. :)

"She hates you, you know?" Elle said pointedly.
          
          "I know," I replied, bowing my head down. We both fell into silence, and then,
          
          "But you know what?" Elle suddenly said, turning to me.
          
          "What?" 
          
          "Even after everything you had done, I know for a fact that deep inside, she still loves you..."
