Writer's Bingo 9/9

Inspiration comes at the most inconvenient moments.

That’s true, but I already know that no matter how hard I try, I WON"T remember the idea, so I try to write it down somewhere. Very often, I get ideas when I’m listening to music and walking somewhere. It’s not a problem if I have my phone with me, but in winter my hands get really cold.

Um... so I wrote a fantasy book

Ive never written a book before so this is all kinda new but this will be a YA fantasy book series 😊

Its available on amazon on all 3 formats here:

The Prophecy of Arethos: The Awakening : King, Beatrice: Amazon.co.uk: Books

You can get a Kindle Ebook, hardcover or a paperback version! Main themes are fantasy, portal fantasy, friendship and adventure!

Some other big themes are found family, grief, loss, romance (in the later books) and coming of age.

Mila isn't the kind of girl who stands out. She's the one who hides in empty classrooms at lunch, avoids eye contact in the hallways, and counts down the minutes until she can go home. She's used to being invisible.

But everything changes the night she feels an irresistible pull into the forest behind her house, where she meets Nymera, a golden, winged lioness who claims to be her Soulbond. According to an ancient prophecy, Mila is the other half of the prophecy, destined to protect the magical kingdom of Aethelgard from a growing darkness.

Now Mila is thrust into a world of magic, mythical creatures and ancient beings. She can't fight, she doesn't know magic, and she's only twelve. But with Nymera at her side, Mila will have to find the courage she never thought she had because Aethelgard's future may depend on her. Hope, heartbreak, and destiny collide in a book about friendship, courage and the cost of being chosen.

This has been on my mind while editing lately,

Have you ever read through your draft and felt like everything should work, but something still feels slightly off?

Not a clear mistake. Just a quiet feeling you can’t ignore.

Like:

• a scene that feels a bit flat even though it has all the right pieces

• dialogue that reads fine but doesn’t sound natural

• a moment that should hit harder but doesn’t

• a detail that feels out of place, even if you can’t explain why

It’s subtle, but it changes how the whole thing comes across.

So I’m wondering:

• Do you notice this kind of feeling in your own writing?

• How do you figure out what’s actually causing it? •Do you trust that instinct, or do you wait for someone else to confirm it?

I’d really like to hear how others deal with that “something’s off” moment while editing.
