    I've recently started writing a SW book called Star Wars:Shadows of the Skywalkers. My summary(still would recommend reading the chapters even if the summary sounds displeasing-I still have a problem to write a good one :D ):

    They were lost.
    They turned on the people they loved and would've fought for before...turned to te Dark Side.
    Is this what they wanted? Lose who they were to their new faces? To Darth Vader and Kylo Ren?
    They have to face their past to fulfill their destinies'. They have to accept their past..or destroy it.
    They soon understand it isn't a simple decision they can make.It's like them:not just black and white.
    Darth Vader. Kylo Ren. Their shadows will always haunt them and try to hold them from their darkness.




    If you don't know,I'm 15 and live in a non-everyday speaking country so it's possible that the vocabulary could be raw(improving on that). Here's the cover to get you interested :D wp_ss_20160626_0001.png


    The book is available to read on Wattpad(obviously for free).All you need is a Wattpad account I presume(You can log in using one of your social media accounts).
    Would mean a lot if you would give it a try and criticize what I did wrong-always trying to improve it.

    Update:Had improved,in my opinion,a lot since I posted this thread and have a beta reader @wickedteam who helps out so much, so it should be much easier to read without seeing typos' etc.

    Read through the first part just now.:)You are right that the vocabulary,dialogue and sentencing can use some fixing,but even so,the text is perfectly understandable.I do like where you are going with Vader's inner conflict,In my opinion it fits the character well at that particular time period.From what I understand,there are going to be some Kylo parts that mirror Vader's state of thinking,and that should be interesting to see.Generally speaking,if you enjoy writing this,people will enjoy reading it,so go forth and make each chapter better than the last.Nice work!

    Thanks! Every chapter will definitely be better! Just thought: Is it difficult to read? Like the sentencing, vocabulary, could put people off?

    Unless a reader is of the mindset that a single spelling mistake will ruin the whole experience,then no,it's not difficult at all,as I said it is perfectly understandable without trying.Of course,since it's fan fiction and people aren't expected to pay to read the book,the most important part is telling the story you want to tell,raher than telling it in a pretty way,and you are doing well at that.One thing that would really benefit the book is making the dialogue sequences a little more realistic,because they sometimes feel a bit off,like why would the character say that at that specific point to that specific person e.g.:Emperor speaking with Vader sequence felt unnatural.You're on a good track,keep it up!

    Yikes,I'll have to look into that dialogue again. I'm also 100% sure I'll be rewriting the whole book once I've finished it(correcting,adding stuff etc). Thanks for the thoughts!
