    I LOVE your videos SO MUCH. They've really helped me start working on my novel idea!! ❤
    I'm not sure if the idea sounds interesting, but it's about a lost heir, that no one knows exists and how she intends to reclaim her throne from the Queen who stole the throne through betrayal. It's got magical powers, royal vibes, rebellion and all the best parts of fantasy and this is the rough blurb I have so far!:
    Then vows were made.
    Before the true Queen of Cortanea died, she trained her heir Aletta Maelys to use her elemental powers, to write spells and create potions. Then she made Aletta swear not to go after those who had tried to have her executed and stole her crown.
    Now vows have changed.
    Aletta guards the throne she intends to reclaim. Training under her mentor Emilliano Cadell, the man who helped her mother escape execution and alongside the soldiers of what should be her kingdom Aletta must conceal her identity, her powers and her plot for revenge.
    Aiming to reclaim her throne Aletta must deal with the witches, seers, clairvoyants and humans of her kingdom. Some are allies. Some are enemies. Deciding who she can trust is imperative as she fights for her throne and discovers there is more to her birthright, and her kingdom than she once believed.

    Umm hi Ana, Im 11 years old, and u r like a role model to me!! Anyways, I really really wanted to share the ending of my story, and i want to know what u think!!
    " Why should I apologise when you never apologised for turning me into a monster!!" His voice echoed, dripping with disdain...
    I turned, my head halted. My head seemed to spin, my chest had a dull ache. I yearned to cradle my head in my hands, but now was no time for it.
    I looked at the familar whisp of antique grey clouds, and the stars dotted over the evening sky, knowing they aren't out of reach at me at all. But I am closer to them, somehow. But I am fearful.
    " I dont want to die"
    " I really don't want to die." , i muttered, my eyes cloudy.
    Then, I floated. My mortal life was over.
    But, I miss her.

    I need opinions,
    For my main character I wanted to start off by writing her backstory as a actual story for the reader to read, though I wanted to write it from her older brother and sister’s point of view so in the future stories stuff about the main character would still be revealed. I was also thinking though “What’s the point of writing the backstory as a actual story if I’m not even going to write everything that happened?” So the question I need a opinion on is if I should continue this idea, if I should just write it from the main character’s view, or just not make it a story?
