Oh I hate this. I feel like Heart on Trial is not going on a good pace in terms of plot and I want to jump to other story ( ＞Д＜；)

I'm well and healthy and back, plus with some news. It was surprising to see "Tellers of Lies" longlisting in The Nano Watt 2025, Contemporary Romance category alongside several other talented authors. I don't expect to move farther in the contest but I am happy to be longlisted still!
Also I am FINALLY back. I will continue with (will try to be regular) updates on "Heart on Trial" from tomorrow and catch up with the current books I'm reading. I really hope I can finish "Heart on Trial" before Wattys deadline, if not then there's always next year. These past few weeks have been an emotional and physical mess with sickness, and college entrance exams but I'm at a better place now.

Right when I had thought I will continue writing Heart on Trial now that my rest after the laser is over, I am down with cold and cough. LIKE IT'S SO FRUSTRATING

Hi everyone, I have my laser barrage surgery today so I will be back after 2-3 days eye rest! Stay healthy stay safe ❤️

I just finished reading "The Heartbreak Hypothesis" by @danielletalbury and what an amazing read it was! The story follows Madison Watson, who has literally vowed before starting university 'no men' because of a certain past heartbreak. She thinks 'heartbreak is inevitable and love is a construct.' That’s exactly what becomes the hypothesis of her assignment and two human guineapigs (without their knowledge), her ticket to an internship. However, new friendships, unexpected drama, and a new romance might just prove Madison that her hypothesis has perhaps been flawed. https://www.wattpad.com/story/235254877

@AriaGraceWrites Hi I do not currently have the time to go through some of your story thoroughly and provide detailed pointers but I did have a brief overlook at "Blue Light & the Darkness" and from what I can see, you are on the right path! Especially for a Fantasy story. The descriptions are there and beautifully creates vivid images. If you are planning on gaining audience on Wattpad with this book though, or planning to submit your story to Wattys 2025, I'd suggest if you can, even if little, follow their IEC (Immediate, Engaging, Commercial) rule. What these 3 factors mean, you can find more about them in the Wattys 2025 book (Judging Criteria chapter). From my first impression of the 1st chapter of your story, while it has good descriptions, it ended too quickly and suddenly. Without a proper hook to make me intrigued about the next chapter. You could have a look at how some popular Fantasy book authors end their first chapters to have an idea. For example, the prologue of "Game of Thrones" ends with this paragraph. 'The broken sword fell from nerveless fingers. Will closed his eyes to pray. Long, elegant hands brushed his cheek, then tightened around his throat. They were gloved in the finest moleskin and sticky with blood, yet the touch was icy cold.' Otherwise you are doing good!

@_abhipreeti_ by chance do you think you could read some of my story and give me a few pointers??
