    Do you love every story you write equally?

    That's why I always outline. Even if I start off winging it, I typically outline so I see if the story has anywhere to really land. I wrote 35 chapters once, completely winging it, and then decided to never make that mistake again.

    Do you love every story you write equally?

    I've seen people willing to die for their fanfic, but I'll assume you mean the original 😂 Okay, To be fair, this is easy to say if you have 175k on your one "horny" story that seems to be three books put together 😭 Congrats. I was gonna say that I don't have enough desire to write something so...

    As a reader, what is your attention span tolerance for the minimum and maximum number of sentences in a paragraph?

    I'd honestly think if you're an avid reader, that it requires more attention span to read individual sentences on individual lines than it would take to read a 5-7 sentence paragraph. Studies on how reading actually works suggests to me that every time that you arbitrarily start a new line...

    When does a character go from flawed to unlikable?

    I'd say it's about intent. Flawed characters make mistakes. Shitty characters never learn or do awful things on purpose repeatedly.

    Do you love every story you write equally?

    Obviously you need to add that secret ingredient, love, to really bring your story to life, but if your works are your children, do you have a secret favorite? I absolutely do. My favorite ongoing novel gets the least views, maybe because it isn't complete, maybe because it's mostly SFW, but...

    Tell your unheard story Here.

    Anything? Lemme think. I was born in West Philadelphia. I spent a lot of time on the playground, just relaxing and playing basketball outside school. One day a couple of guys started causing trouble and I got into a fight, so of course my mom got scared, so I got sent to live with my aunt and...

    Suicide in Fiction

    On the contrary, I think you don't need to justify yourself after the fact, if you put the effort in in the first place. I don't think it's ever worth arguing about creative expression after the fact. Art's job is to be interpreted and spark conversation, the creator diving back into the...

    Introduction 3D Basic Modeling in My Way

    Thanks for the detailed responses. I've got my homework now. You're really good at breaking down these concepts. There's a lot I still don't understand, but I think that's more from information overload. I'll have to retrack my steps a few times, but your explanations already gave a pretty good...

    One of my stories is missing.

    I'm also missing two stories, so we shall see. I also haven't received a response. At least time is an illusion. In a way, the email will be responded to, and has always been responded to if it ever was. It's just a matter of perception.

    Writing Outlining: How Do?

    You can answer this a million ways, so it's really a matter of opinion and varying strategies. I'll share my general process. Outline to the outline: Have an idea. Easy. Play it out from the start. If it can't keep your own interest through at least one character/plot arc, it's already going in...

    What? It's a science-fiction novel. You're telling me the black square isn't a waifu?

    Introduction 3D Basic Modeling in My Way

    How long did it take you to learn all of this? You're actually explaining so much of this in a digestible way. I have to circle back to the YouTube videos, but I think I understood your explanation. I was mostly interested in the anime style. If I'm understanding correctly, wouldn't silhouette...

    Introduction 3D Basic Modeling in My Way

    Wow. I'm gonna have to read your entire post two or three time to really understand. I understood some if it based on my research last week, but this is most certainly the most I've learned about 3D Modeling, period. I guess the part that's not clicking for me at all yet is with something like...

    When killing off an important character, friend, brother or someone important to The MC. How do you feel about it?

    Sounds well thought out. I assume that there's reasonable incentive for him not to "hack" the curse, because there definitely seems to be enough ways to temporarily incapacitate himself. Not sure what your jumping into a volcano, or heat death of the universe explanation is, but seems reasonable...

    When killing off an important character, friend, brother or someone important to The MC. How do you feel about it?

    The tricky part seems to be that someone needs to be the one to destroy them, and understand what they're doing. Otherwise, the artifacts would naturally come together from the physics of the universe, even if it took eons. I assume the gods exist outside the universe itself? If he can't die no...
