    The only thing I can say is, I think you can pull off a "It was like every other day" only if it takes place in some kind of fantasy world. You'd need some kinda of conflict later, but for the first chapter, a simple day could be used for good world building and character introductions.

    You've been such an inspiration to me over the years. I first started watching your videos back in like 2011-12(?)-ish, just before I began studying in college. I've grown so much as both an artist and a writer because of you, to the point where now I even have the privilege of teaching my own art classes. Maybe this comment will get lost in the comments section and you'll never get to see it, but if by some small chance you do happen across it at some point I just wanna say thank you. I genuinely wouldn't be at the point I'm at today if you hadn't taken the time to teach people all across the world like you've done these past 11 or so years.

    Are story ideas the same thing as a premise? Cuz what I did is wrote down my ideas in a Google doc. I have 7 ideas and I started to write one of them into an outline.
    This is the idea I wrote for my first story:
    A brownie loses her 2 month child due to illness that specifically targets young brownies. But later adopts a human child and raises her as her own.
    I hope to turn this into a story soon.

    I tried making this series back in middle school that I’m still working on to this day. (I’m a junior in high school now.) Basically the premise so far is that these two aliens, Quasar and Celiuus are the only two heroes of their solar system (or galaxy or just... their planet.. I have no idea yet). Their everyday life includes fighting crime and monsters wherever needed via portals that they have. I’m having a lot of trouble making more of an interesting premise... any suggestions?
    Oh and I also made this main villain Named Starless who’s a humanized black hole but I still have no idea how to include him into the premise. Any ideas???

    I doubt anyone will see this but I thought of a story idea and I want to know if it's original- I know similar things have been done but I've never heard this particular story so if u see this, tell me what you think? Also, TW- it includes talk of suicide
    so this is the premise:
    a man's wife dies and she returns as a ghost. She wants him to 'join her' and convinces him to kill himself, but every time he's about to, he gets nervous and purposely fails or won't do it. She gets mad and becomes very horrible and says he 'doesn't love her enough'. His friendships and job are going well and so he appreciates life and doesn't want to die. His wife tries to sabotage the things in his life that bring him joy in hopes that he will realise he's better as a ghost with her.
    and I'm not sure abt the ending but I think she'll somehow trick her husband into dying but he realises how abusive shes become so he leaves her and she realises that in trying to get him to join her, she drove them further apart? But I'm not sure if that's a good ending?
