Hi, wagamama keimochi!
Yeah, it is what it is :'3 we'll just have to go with the flow and hopefully, the process will be more fun than we thought it'd be~
And yup! I put a lot of thoughts on their clothes, but sometimes, I regret putting so much detail because making the CG will be harder then x'D
*I haven't learned from my mistakes tho. Bermuda's clothes is a lot harder to draw than Winged Ones rofl* Still! You're right, they're worth it in the end and I'm glad to hear you like them ^///^
As for your questions:
- The xx/xx pages are from Microsoft Word! Just look at the small bar at the bottom, it should show you the total page you've written and at what page you are -^.^)/
- How to make a dialogue feel natural? This is... a little hard to explain, but basically, read, Read, and READ! There's no such thing as reading too much novels/fanfics! I often went to novel updates/fanfiction/archive of our own, and look for the ones with most favourites/reviews. When you enjoy reading something, it'll also enrich your grammar OuO)b
- For me, a good read is when you can't stop reading it/when a scene gives the 'right feeling', be it happiness, sadness, excitement, despair, etc/makes you smile like an idiot in the middle of the night x'D
Whenever I find a great quote/great grammar use, I'd also screenshot it and save it for later whenever I encounter a writer's block.
I also google a lot for synonyms or antonyms--I often forget the specific word used for when we feel... blabla... or to avoid repetitive use of the same word. Example: the synonyms for feeling 'comfortable' could be 'pleasant', 'warm feeling', 'sweetness trickled into my heart', etc... you get the idea <3
When I'm programming, I often went back to 'polish' my sentences like that :'3 no matter how small, it'll enrich your story!
I hope these answers your questions! Good luck and let's work hard together! \(^.^)/
xoxo,
SweetChiel <3
