I’m an aspiring author and would love ideas and recommendations for a book I’m writing

in #editorial6 years ago (edited)

Recently I found myself starting to write a novel and I’m not sure where to continue this is what I have written so far (also feedback from it would be lovely):

“What was that?” Daruis whispered under his breath. It was dark and cold inside the pine forest. He had traveled a long way into the mountains, he hadn’t even realized the snow had started to fall. As the moon shone down him, Daruis gazed up at it remembering that night, that has haunted him in his dreams to this day. Back to the days when he was young pup of the pack. 

He was an oddity that was highly frowned upon, even despised amongst his fellow wolf-kin brethren. Born with many tattoos in his skin but no coloration to define them. With his hair and eyes that could only resemble the reflection of the moon on the surface of a clear, crystal lake.

Hearing the rustling in the tree line, he snapped his focus back on the surrounding woods. Silently, and with the strokes of one with incredible mastery, Daruis drew his long, Ivory and obsidian inlaid bow that was given to him by on old saytr that had crossed his path many moons ago. Just before he notched his arrow, a small fairy flew out of the bushes and sat on his shoulder. He didn’t understand why she did that, but that’s what she did every time she came back.

“Welcome back Jessilyn. Where did you run off this time?” He’s asked starting to smile and relax knowing she’s back. For as long as they had been together my , which has been a long time, she liked to run of and then surprise him when she decided to finally return. Sometimes she’d run off to make new clothes out of flowers. Shes even made him rings and other jewelry. This time Jess had come back wearing an outfit made from what looked like a blue tulip. It was more of a light blue, which complimented well with her crystal clear blue eyes that dazzled anyone who looked too deeply into them.

she got up and giggled twirling around in front of him “What do you think, Dary?” She asked him happily. “Well do you like it? Isn’t it just the cutest!”

He smiled happily. She had looked lovely in it. Jessilyn always found some way, no matter where she was, to always find something lovely to wear. It looked well even with her pale skin and her long, flowing strawberry blonde hair. What’s more is it made her amethyst eyes stand out and sparkle. Her wings were like transparent Luna moth wings that also had a amethyst hue to them.

Daruis looked down at himself and wondered why she wanted to stay with him. He was a monster. Nothing but a half-human, half-wolf amalgam. He was mostly human in appearance, save for his wolf ears and tail. What he didn’t like was the color. He would’ve liked black or some sort of colored pattern. Being his color made him a target and easy to spot.

He was wearing a snow lynx cloak. He hated how the cloak resembled his own fur, but it kept him warm and camouflaged as the snow fell around him, like a white wool blanket of the landscape. He looked round and snarled. “Why must the land be covered in such a hideous color” he mumbled under his breath.

Jess licked him on the cheek and smiled. “Dary don’t look so down. I know you hate it but you know what I think?” He looked over at her and chuckled a little and smiled as she continued to say “I love the color white it’s beautiful and makes you a very handsome man” she gave him a big smile and one of her goofy giggles. She always found a way to cheer him up. It wasn’t necessarily what she said, but rather, the way she said always made a smile sneak onto his usually calm face
