Playing video games and learning how to draw. Drawing has always been an on-and-off hobby for me (with long stretches of Off, lol) and I'm kinda glad that I'm doing it for long term again. I mostly draw girls, but right now I'm learning how to draw men (their eyes are so hard to draw. I'm used...

Usually it's in the small moments. Take your characters, for example, on a walk by the pier in the evening where the sun is starting to set. They can talk a little about the plot events unique to your story, but the most important part is addressing the romantic tension between them like subtle...

I'm precious with my story and characters so I can't, lol. I'm a kind of author who focuses on tight story-telling with as little fluff as possible, so there's a higher chance that I'll be able to finish it. Most of the time people will get 85-95k stories from me depending on the genre.

Are you soliciting for writers to write the story for you or actually giving us prompts for inspiration?

For the whole book? About 6 months. I am not proud ?

I'm sure there are scary stuff that happened to me, but on the top of my head right now I only remember the scary ones that were told to me. I have a co-worker whose husband was admitted to a hospital. It was late and she wanted to buy dinner. She was in the elevator and it opened to let an old...

If one of your goals for the first chapter is to establish character... I'm afraid nothing much happened. Sure he's observant about his superficial classmates and laments the fact on why no one else notice what he has observed, but I don't think it's strong enough character establishment. Maybe...

If I like the story enough, it will not deter me... to a degree, though.

Music distracts me while writing, unfortunately. I can have ambient music play for a little while but about 5-10 minutes, it'll eventually distract me, too. It's really best for me not to turn on music when writing. OMG same! ?

I don't have much say since I'm new here myself, but thank you for asking this question because I have the same thought and wonder what to do.

Since I'm writing a contemporary fantasy romance, I'm gonna have to default to an ending with HEA (happily ever after) lest the audience for it would chop my head off, lol.

I like short to medium-length chapters, but I understand writing isn't simple that way and sometimes you just have to have longer chapters as demanded by the plot. That said, short or medium chapters can maintain my interest to a degree. If the story has short chapters but has like 100...

Goodness me! I'd slap a block button on them too faster than they could say, "Well hey sailor!" :ROFLMAO:

Haaaaaapppy boithdaaaaay!

This seems like a nice premise. I'll take a gander at it! :s_smile:
