For the characters realism and likeability are what I most care about. I want them to feel like real people I could meet, and if I have to spend I whole book with them I don’t want to hate them. I’m not a fan of selfish characters and also really don’t like it when a character suddenly stops acting like themselves so that they can push the plot along. For plot I think the most important thing is to make sure that it matters. By that I mean that what happens in chapter four affects what happens in chapter five, actions have repercussions and the outcome of the events should matter to the characters. I think it’s pointless when there are pieces of the story that don’t matter to either me or the characters. As for the writing style I believe clarity and brevity are the most important. You should convey what you mean to convey and respect your reader’s time.
I feel like those could both be foods. A potatopuff is easy to envision, it’s like a tater tot, but I can’t decide whether a carrotclaw would be a healthier variant of a bearclaw pastry, or if it would just be a pointy arrangement of carrots.
Would it have lots of frosting? I generally try to avoid carrot cake, because it tastes like carrots, but I’m sure I could stomach it with lots of frosting.
Fruit is like vegetables and dessert had a baby?
Can I quote that to people?
I don’t really like veggies or fruit. But I eat them, I just don’t admit to it.
