Do you need a prologue?
Prologues aren’t inherently bad, but a lot of authors use them to ‘cheat’ – revealing important information all at once, rather than hinting at it to build intrigue.

So what is GMC?
Goal, Motivation, & Conflict. Your character’s goal is what they want in life, their motivations are what happened in their past that’s left them with a lack of something, and the conflicts are what gets in their way.

It's always a good day when I’m blessed with toe beans.
Without grounding, we lose the ability to fully immerse ourselves in your world. Show your characters interacting with your setting to allow us to experience it in a natural way.

How do you approach feedback? Approach both praise and constructive criticism with curiosity. Remember, no manuscript is perfect, and no advice is perfect; and no advice is perfect; it is all about how you question both and find a way to meld them together. Approach the feedback with the intent to understand it, not agree or disagree.
