@ErikaTappy It seems awesome! I haven't really had much time to fiddle with it though since I've been extremely busy

@Sarahthesheep Oh, I see. Most people don't have the new layout yet(including me) so I just wanted to know more about it! Although, I think I prefer the old version. The new one seems too much like a fusion of Twitter and Tumblr. It doesn't look like a WRITING site to me. Of course, this is just my opinion and I can't be sure about it since I haven't even tried the new layout yet.

Hi Sarah! I read the first chapter of Little Bird (and it is good). Just one thing that you should watch out for -- punctuation and capitalization around dialogue. My suggestion would be to do a quick Google search on speech tags and action tags (Writers Digest i think had a relatively helpful article) or just do some research elsewhere. I would explain it except that I invariably end up being more confusing than any writing/grammar advice site, so... :)
          
          besides that: the idea / premise of Little Bird is sound (though Wattpad is certainly home to other stories based on similar premises), and as long as you bring your characters to life (i think you can!), i'm sure i'll really enjoy the ride/read, haha :)
          
          so steer clear of clichés (or don't! choice is yours, and either way...make the writing style your own! :D) and power on! haha :)
