Excellent tips my friend, I hope this will help the participants to create interesting stories. I love the stories in this challenge, I think the writers are very creative, but there are some that really don't hook me and I don't see much sense in them, even if they use magic as a resource, there has to be a why, a motive and an end.
I try to learn from my own and others' mistakes when I read, to create stories with different sequences that don't seem repetitive and monotonous. I like variety in literature and enjoy all genres of it, as I do in series and movies, however, when I see something I feel I've already seen, even if it's good, it doesn't impact me as much.
I'm going to take these tips into consideration and keep the quality in my stories. I hope to find things this week that cause me various emotions, maybe even cry like a cupcake ha ha! Best vibes to everyone, I'm also fizzling out.
I'm glad that you found it helpful. We do love the creativity that people bring each week overall.
