Writing
What do you think of my writing style? Are the sentences clear? Too short? Too long? Am I saying the same words repeatedly?
I love your writing style. It's easily readable and pulls me into the story immediately every time. I haven't noticed any word repetitions or anything, maybe some slight overseen mistakes but that doesn't bother me. I also feel like there's enough text with each picture. I don't like it when there's almost a full novel underneath one picture. It feels like the picture doesn't convey very much. So I like what you're doing. Keep doing it! ?
I sometimes switch between points-of-view as the story is going on. Is this confusing to read? Should a writer stick with one pov, or is it all right to peek into multiple people's heads in the same chapter? What do you think?
Huh. I hadn't noticed specifically. It doesn't happen within one scene, right? It's from one scene to the next? Because I think that's why it isn't confusing at all. We alternate between different scenes and as long as you don't shift between multiple characters without giving a clear indication, I think it'll stay fine. I think multiple POVs within one chapter is always good that way. It also gives us insight into more than one character which is fun.
My chapters tend to hover around 3,000 words, with some longer and some shorter. What do you think about the length? I sometimes have trouble hitting the right story beats with fewer words per chapter, but I realize that too long a chapter can overstay its welcome.
Your chapters feel like they're the right length. This last one was longer than usual and I did notice that a bit, but I do enjoy your story so much I didn't particularly mind. 3.000 words overall seems like a good length. As long as there's some Arthur in it ( :D ).
