@LanceXara — hey honey!! I don’t respond a lot, but you really stuck out to me!! The best advice I can give is to keep writing! Sometimes, first drafts won’t be the greatest. That’s okay! That’s everyone! I recommend grammarly to help with just basic punctuation and sentence structure. Pull on your own experiences! That’s what makes it feel real and raw. Think about the emotions and complexities of your own insecurities and how that may translate. No one is perfect, and people have weird ways of dealing with events. Research some psychology or talk to someone that may have experienced what your character is going through! Just remember that people want to read about people, not perfect robots or archetypes. Sending you so much love!!!! Good luck and don’t stop writing!!!
