Let's play a little writing game

Tell us what your story is about in a few lines, but do it from the antihero perspective. A mean side character, the "bad guys", whoever is frowning upon your hero's adventure.

What do they have to say about your book?

Want to try? 👀 It's a fun writing exercise and a different perspective to your promo, links can be provided upon request!

I'll begin, as an example 😁

Adan, the heroine's older brother: "So Dalia and Janik think this this their story, but it's not. There is a freaking vampire rebellion coming that I will be dealing with while they get all Twilight on each other. And I don't even care about politics! But seriously: what kind of best friend hooks up with your sister? And why do all women hate me?"

Am I the only one losing sleep just thinking about my story?

It's xxxx a.m. and my eyes are wide open, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. I say "Ok, let's relax" and a few seconds later my mind shouts: "OH THAT'S IT!! Those two characters need to fall in love. Secret, intense love. Yep".

Back to relaxing... "Right, so when do I make the vampire b**ch come in? It has to be bloody. Hmm... But bloody sexy, or bloody flying bananas?"

Keep staring at the ceiling, smiling like an idiot, ridiculously excited about my own story...

(Refraining myself from getting up to write [...]) > FAILED.

Anyone also losing sleep? 😂

You don't know what it's like to live with a vampire 🦇❤️ Fantasy drama & romcom

Hi~ I'd love some feedback on my new story, on Sunday chapter 10 will be out and I'm excited about that.

The story is still in its early stages (picture Hermione taking out "History Of Magic" kind of early stages, as it's already over 40k words 😅🤭), but going well, I believe. I really hope someone leaves some feedback, so I can know for sure.

Link on Wattpad: To Live With a Vampire

When Dalia, devastated by her father's death, is left all alone, her long-lost brother Adan returns to be her legal guardian, but... he's turned into a vampire. A secret that worsens their already strained relationship, to the point where their animosity puts their lives in danger.

​Having no other choice than to leave his sister and return to Castellum Academy, Adan asks his best friend to look after her until he finds a new guardian. But to Dalia's misfortune, Janik is also a vampire, and not just any vampire. He is one of the academy's founders, a leading advocate for progressive vampire laws in the region, and consequently, a prime target of the opposing movement known as "The Resistance." Living with him will change everything Dalia thought she knew about vampires, about the world, and... everything she thought she knew about love.

A dark event puts an end to their relationship before it can truly begin. Years later, Dalia and Janik meet again, caught in the middle of an underground battle.

I never seem to find what I'm looking for.

So, here I am, fellow writer and reader. I'm writing one story and reading about 10. I finish reading one, want to move onto the next one, and---

I fall into the dark void of​ randomly suggested content.

If I try to find by title, it will never show up the book I'm searching for. By tags, sure, some show up, but it's still very messy in my opinion. Even more if I'm trying to find a book in a language different from English.

Has it always been like this? I feel like the only ways to find what you want to read are: 1) by means of external apps/sites such as this one, or 2) by checking other people's reading lists​ (friends, ambassadors...).

Any opinions? Tricks, tips or magic spells​​ that I am missing?

✨🙊
