Hello Gumdrop! I'm so sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I finally finished reading your Twins Of Apollo book (both parts) and I wanted to say first off, good job! Writing is hard, I should know, it took me a little over a year and some to finish my Leo × Reader book. I love the way you integrate such sarcasm and wit into the banter between Aurora and Aelius (great names by the way.) I do have a few suggestions. (Feel free to ignore them, I have no idea what I'm doing, lol) 1. Try breaking your dialogue and text apart. I've found that for most readers reading alot of text like this, that is just all one line is really difficult. To some people it may be overwhelming when you are faced with a wall of striaght text and no eye breaks. Dialogue and descriptions get mixed up and people tend to skim read. Instead, try something like this. Break up each line into smaller paragraphs based on what they're talking about/describing. If they are similar, keep them together. If you want dramatic emphasis or a line to really get noticed, make it a new line! 2. My other tip is to separate your dialogue from the rest of your text. You write such great banter between the twins and the Stoll brothers, but it gets lost "when it's just in the middle of your paragraphs." Like this. Try the piece above, by making every dialogue sentence a new line. "This way, your readers eyes are drawn to the dialogue and it isn't lost." Other then that, I'm loving your story so far! These are just minor details, that come with alot of practice and discovering what you find most aesthetically pleasing. You're doing great, and I can't wait to continue reading. (Also great freaking job on the prophecy! That was very well done!!) Lots of love, and good luck! - Thesourgummyworm <3

@Thesourgummyworm thank you for the tip, i will definitely use it. i think i should go back and edit it to make it easier to read, not really change anything though, just space it out like you said. and thank you for your kind words. but honestly, i cringe looking at my work because i swear i could do better but then i try and i really can't. maybe i'll improve one day. and i am working on a new chapter, so it shouldn't take long (i hope) also thank you again for your kindness, because, dispite how much i love it, writing sucks. thank you sm <3 see you on the next chapter ; )
