    Would My Characters Fire Me as Their Author?

    Well........................yeah no, they'd definitely fire me. Their lives would be a whole lot different if it weren't for me.

    What tips would you give new authors?

    You don’t have to follow the normal rules of writing (though you can if you want). Some people might say that no one will read it if it’s written differently, but honestly, I say to hell with that. I don’t write ‘normal,’ and I love uniquely written stories. "Write what you know" is baloney...

    What is the Hardest Genre to Write?

    For me it's fantasy and mystery. I like to just jump into a story and wing my way through the rest, but with fantasy and mystery, it requires So. Much. Planning. And I don't always have the motivation to think so creatively. It's also time consuming, having to plan out every intricate detail...

    Ideas you once thought were original but later found out were generic

    This is true. I think most of my ideas are inspired by books that I read or fears that I have. But the thing is...the books I read are read by many, and I am sure that there are many more who share the same fears as I do. ? Even when authors base their books off of experiences they've had, it...

    Do you like stories where protagonist return from death?

    You're not the only one. I've always been drawn to the idea of characters coming back to life. It's a bit disturbing the way I devour these type novels, or books where characters flat out die. But I agree. It does challenge readers. It makes characters really think, makes us wonder if we...

    One sentence ghost stories.

    This has happened to me before. :ROFLMAO: I woke up needing to pee so badly. His voice was a low murmur, the sound seeming to protrude from his mouth as if it were a solid thing he could hold, as solid as the fear aching in his heart and the chewy atmosphere of the cave. -From my eighth grade...

    Recommendations?

    Lately, I've been in kind of a reading funk, and I've fallen behind. Nothing is satisfying me. And well...I'm pretty sure you can guess where this is going, so I'll only say just a little bit. :) I want you guys to recommend me books, whether on this site or not. I am open to reading most...

    What powers would Jesus have?

    This question feels a little blasphemous, but obviously, Jesus has the power to do all things.

    Do you use swears in your fantasy?

    I think that sometime it's difficult to write without swear words. The funny thing is that I don't even swear in real life, but more often than not, my characters experience struggles that are impossible for me to go through. And sometimes the situation calls for a stronger word. I also agree...

    between poetic prose and rapid action: which style do u prefer?

    I'm going to be honest, I've never read either Japanese or Chinese novels . I think I've tried to read some, but I've never actually finished any. Meanwhile I've read English, French-to-English, and I think that's it? It's pretty limited. Right now, though, I've been trying to read classic...

    Authors, please, recommend me your story!

    Hmmmmmmmm....a story you say??? I might just be able to help you with that. But only if you're truly willing to read my messy draft of a story. I present (drum roll please) "What the Trees Remember." It's a little different than the stories you've probably seen on this platform, but a little...

    between poetic prose and rapid action: which style do u prefer?

    I prefer a mixture of both. I really like straightforward narratives with a partially dry tone and a slightly poetic touch. Forgive me if that makes absolutely no sense, but I guess it also depends on the novel for each tone. I have many different favorite genres. One is dystopian, and when it's...
