    Is it just me, or are the scribblehub tools shockingly good for such an unassuming site?

    I really like that you can link your stories together and show their relationship to each other. It's really cool for world building projects.

    One sentence ghost stories.

    There was a horrid smell in the classroom, eyes began to search, you forgot to wipe.

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    The way I see it, the story can't really happen if the MC dies to the mundane. It's what makes the story worth telling in the first place right? there's limits to how far that stretches obviously but it honestly never has really bothered me too much. If it starts to feel like a elementary...

    What Blurb sounds more enticing to you?

    So I've taken some time to think about it, and try to come up with some new and better, I've also looked at other blurbs including Sir contro's example. I have this character in the book, she likes to rhyme, so I thought it might be neat if the story blurb might be from her perspective? Anyway I...

    What Blurb sounds more enticing to you?

    These are really good tips, thank you. Everyone here has been really helpful. Basically I've been calling the spells Binds, the magic sort of works on a forced perception sort of gimmick or another way I thought of it was what if the observer effect was more prevalent in the macro every day...

    What Blurb sounds more enticing to you?

    I do use AI to help with punctuation, but I'm sure this will draw ire of some. I also sometimes ask it how the pacing is but I'm not sure how well it can judge that.

    What Blurb sounds more enticing to you?

    Might be too much to use magic system lingo in the blurb then eh?

    What Blurb sounds more enticing to you?

    Never been good at selling myself or stories. I was wondering what blurb you think might be more interesting? This is a smaller one, more focused on the main characters: Brothers Callahan and Rowan wield beastly binds to save their dying mom—one fragile, one fearless. In Onoria’s empire, they...

    How fast can you write?

    Sometimes I can go for hours just typing like crazy and then other times I get stuck every paragraph. when that happens I usually pace around my apartment or take a shower till I can figure out how to get to the next part of a scene. I'd really love to know why being able to think better in the...

    Writing ■■■■ beasts

    Hungering beasts? Do they come from a swampy area maybe Bog Beast if you like alliteration? Bloated or Bloating Beasts maybe if they're fat or gross and filled with pustules. I always like that imagery personally when I'm creating a monster.

    Do you use swears in your fantasy?

    That's a really good point and one I need to remember when I try to incorporate certain creatures or words into the story. I always have this weird hang up where I second guess myself and think, "hold on, wait a minute, why would it be called a Gorilla in this universe" honestly this is a good...

    Do you use swears in your fantasy?

    These usually end up being my top three when a character is really trying to get his point across lol.

    Do you use swears in your fantasy?

    Sometimes there really is no better way to express how a character feels in the moment than an Fbomb, but maybe that's due to my poor vocabulary, still I do try to use them sparingly or try to come up with world appropriate ones... but those usually sound cheesy to me when I'm the one writing...

    What powers would Jesus have?

    Definitely healing powers, curing debilitation such as blindness and other disease, and to keep him balanced his resurrections of other people should be kept to a minimum, maybe only the grieving and extremely faithful can rouse the effect out of him. Water walking is a must, a passive ability...

    If you have the time, I'd love some feed back.

    You really made my day today man and I really appreciate the feedback! I didn't even think about how long the chapters were but you are right. Especially for the platform. 12 and 6 definitely are a little long. I think that's an issue with me sometimes having trouble knowing when to move on from...

    Favorite anime to watch dubbed

    I think the Desert Punk dub is really good. Space Dandy too. They already feel like very western stories.

    Among all that you have read and watched...

    It's incredibly short but tells a very poignant story.

    If you have the time, I'd love some feed back.

    So, I think my story has reached a decent point where the characters are developed beyond just an introduction, the plot has swept the main trio into the grander events, and there are breadcrumbs in the earlier chapters that get answered later to help establish the flow of what's to come. But I...
