I am really having one of those critical days on my book. Do you think it's going to slow? Should I start like throwing out plot twists now?

@Serefina No problem. If you need something to fill up some space between now and Echo's birthday, maybe you should bring back the old books that she found in the earlier chapters. You haven't really gone in depth about siren history in a while. It could be a good chance to remind the reader of some important facts and maybe introduce some new information. Also this could be a scene where Echo and her dad or Fiona can bond by reading about the history. 
          	  
          	  And I'm glad I can help!

@paradise-monk   My main concern is that Echo doesn't get her powers until her birthday when her mom withers so I will have to kill her mom within the next few chapters. She will definitely be leaving the mansion and there will be a few romantic interests. One in particular that will change the whole story but I was mostly just concerned with how fast I was going now or if Echo had been built well enough. Thanks for the feedback! It really helped

@Serefina  I think your pacing was a tad too fast in the beginning, but then you slowed down and really took your time. Now I think you are at a point where you can go in any direction you want. You've done a solid job of building up Echo's character. I personally would like to see her use her powers more outside of the mansion with strangers around. And is she going to come across a romantic interest of some sort? (Or maybe even two!)
          	  I mean honestly, it's up to you, but do what your heart tells you to do and don't try to force anything. Let the story tell you how it wants to be told. Sometimes when I'm trying to choose a direction for the plot, I just go back and reread through the chapters as if I'm reading it for the very first time. That usually tells me what needs to happen next. Either way, I'm sure it'll be lovely.
