Yeah, and I also have Ricky and Mateo too, as a super back up plan. I mean, I wrote about them last time, but at least I finished that, even if millions of people didn’t read it (well, hundreds). I know I can finish them in time. Cay is very middle-aged based. I guess I am going to see how far I get before I get so fed up that I switch to Ricky or Destiny.

I’ve read stories with great characters and no plot whatsoever that really wowed me, but never a story with an interesting plot and lousy characters that wowed me. I think we all like to live vicariously through the characters and experience what they do for awhile, so at least for me, that’s the most important part. ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

Yeah, that’s what I thought. I don’t know why people are so hung up over plot, when characters essentially matter more. Yes, I know you have to have a plot that makes sense, but you shouldn’t kill yourself over the plot if your characters are lacking, imo. Take Harry Potter (yes, don’t kill me) for example: do people actually remember what goes on in the books more than they remember Harry, Hermione, Ron, Snape, Draco and the other characters? 
People (somehow) remember Bella, and Edward and Jacob more than anything that ever happened in Twilight, and they remember the love interest in ACOTAR series more than the books.

I don’t know if that would make any more sense in the context of the story

Is making sense important?
I suppose being in the wrong place at the right time, or the right place at the wrong time could also work.

.-. yes
I, suppose? how would you phrase that, I’m having trouble understanding what you mean by this.

Just because it wasn’t the worst thing that could happen doesn’t mean it was a favorable.

What a friendly shortcut 
Just wanted to share 
“Only in Underland.” Eryn shook her head and wished Clue were here. He could tell the vines to stop being so rude and let them through. “Well, if we can’t go in this—”
“We have to.” Ace insisted, tugging at the vines that continued to latch onto his arms. “It’s a shortcut.”
“What a friendly shortcut!” Eryn scowled. “Castles always have secret tunnels or doorways, isn’t there—”
She yelped as a vine latched around her wrist, pulling her towards the vine wall. “Let go of me!” she protested but the vines laughed in a mocking tone, right in her ear like annoying mosquitoes.

I wrote another Between Roses blurb and have no doubts about it this time, but I ended up posting to a cover and blurb FB group just to see what they’ll say.
I found out that some things they say that are not good to do in blurbs, published, selling books on Amazon both indie and not, are doing them. These books are selling and doing well.
Seeing that makes me think there isn’t much of a blurb rule per say. I think that as long as it doesn’t info dump and it is readable and understandable, and shows the genre, and keeps to a 150-250 or so word count, it should be okay. Also, it should leave readers wanting more (make them want to know what happens).

Thought I’d share this:
“—yn!” Clue jumped in front of her. Eryn snapped out of her daze as the teeth gnashed at his back, tearing apart his clothes and sinking into his skin. The floor cracked. Thick black roots shot up creating a shield around them. Clue hissed through clenched teeth but kept his stance as the Gibberjabby attacked the barricade over and over.
What’s he doing? We need to leave.
These scenes with Clue get me every time

I finished editing until Ch. 23.
9 more to go.
Then I have to incorporate line editing through the entire thing afterwards.
Almost there!
