Hey hey hey, what's the genre? Is it death? Action? Deeetttaills.

@Infinite

Okay, so it's about this girl named Ivo. She has a pendant that protects her from danger that her mom gave her before her mom died.

@Infinite

Then, she finds an eagle that she names Pecan because he loves pecans

@Infinite

Then a manticore terrorizes her village and she runs away

@TheGoldenLegend

So the villains are the terrorizes and she's somehow going to defeat them?

@Infinite

And then she finds a girl named Isabel who ran away because she was going to be executed for no reason

@Infinite

And then, One of the Kings appears and tells them he is the lord of Evil and Manticores

@Infinite

And then I have no freaking idea about what comes next

@Infinite

My story sucks, by the way

@Infinite

I'm bad at writing

@TheGoldenLegend

We all have to start somewhere. Have you started the story? Or are you just beginning?

@Infinite

Started

@TheGoldenLegend

What if you add a random character, maybe a love interest that looks really nice and everyone loves him, but in the end he's actually working for the villains and hates the MC?

Aaaannnnd/ oooooorrrrr it’s kind of like Merlin, where that random guy (or love interest) is super important, and Ivo and Pecan have to protect him. ^~^

Also don’t tell yourself you’re bad at writing because that’s discouraging. You can be amazing if you believe and try hard enough. ^~^

@Infinite

The "guy who looks really nice and everyone loves him" is the evil king

@Infinite

Also, Pecan was sent by The Lord of Griffins to protect Ivo and Isabel, and Pecan's disguise was an eagle because…. because it makes sense, you know? Griffin is an Eagle plus Lion, and I don't think a lion would go very well….

I recommend reading "The art of plotting' by Linda J Cowgill, it's about screenwriting but it can also help for novels as well.
