So I don"t even use this site anymore and I still have to deal with copyright issues, and Wattpad makes it near impossible to lodge a complaint without disclosing all your personal details just so they can cover their backsides. This website is honestly a sham and I am beyond furious.

Hey Lucy! I"ve got just one question for you, when you say that you no longer post on this site, do you write somewhere else? Some fanfiction site? I"m just curious ^_^

Hello there! I was just wondering if there was any way you could read my book, “Twilight: The Blood’s Pleasure” and give me feedback? If you can that would be great ❤️

@jellyroll101 I’m very sorry, but I don’t really have time to give people quality individual feedback on their writing. However, some general tips:
            
            - read! read as much and as widely as you possibly can. I’m referring to published books more than fiction on wattpad, because the quality is likely to be higher - although that’s not to say that some of the stuff on here isn’t great!
            
            - write! the more frequently you write, the better you’ll get - especially if you’re really thinking about what you’re writing
            
            - go searching for tips online. you don’t have to take everything you read on board, but things like how to write engaging descriptions, how to use interesting sentence structures (e.g. avoiding beginning every sentence with I or My, or varying the length of your sentences) and how to write interesting characters are all things people discuss endlessly on writing blogs and forums. If you can take one “new tip” on board every time you write a chapter, you’ll improve endlessly! 
            
            Best of luck with your writing journey! <3

@Nelliel3 It looks like it’s back up now - I can see it on my profile again, at least. Hope you enjoy the series!

You are one of the first twilight writers I followed,your stories are amazing and I read them almost everyday even at midnight and I would be devastated if you ever stop writing also because I love your twilight stories and read them all

I’m not planning on posting any new works at the moment, no, but I still check in from time to time! Why do you ask? <3

That"s really sweet of you to say, thank you so much. I"m currently not taking read requests (I thought it was in my bio, but I don"t think it is, so my bad) but if I get the time, I"ll take a look. In the meantime, if you want writing advice, I will, as per usual, direct you over to the lovely @CassandraLowery, who has a wonderful book full of advice for young writers that certainly helped me no end. Read it. Study it. Use it. It"s your new writing Bible. 
          
          And honestly, the best bit of feedback I can give you to improve? Practise. Keep writing, but also keep READING. Read as widely as you possibly can. Read classics and chick-lit and YA and historical novels. Read books stuffed right with purple prose that bore you to shreds, and read books severely lacking in any sort of artistic flare. Read everything you can get your hands on, and I promise, your writing will develop. You"ll pick things up without realising it. (Just try not to gorge yourself on too much badly-written fanfiction without some beautiful, healthy fiction to balance it out a bit!)
          
          Best wishes to you, and thank you again for such a sweet message! 
          Lucy xX

One last call for anybody interested in beta-reading! (For anybody who doesn"t know, beta reading (at least in my view) pretty much means reading a chapter ahead of posting, and letting me know what you thought. That"s all. It"s nice and easy.) 
          
          Thanks to the four of you who"ve already messaged me -- kisses :) 
          
          Happy Monday! And there"s an oxymoron if ever there were one...
