To repeat an old quote: "Write the story that you want to read that no one else has written." You will never put more energy and effort into a story than a story you love and enjoy. One of the side effects of me editing older chapters is that I sometimes get caught up in reading my own work all...

I mixed the ideas of cultivation into my world in a different way. Maybe some of this will inspire you with a new idea for how you mix things up. :) All paths of power, of strengthening oneself, have cultivator like impacts. The more physical ones path, the more impact there is upon the body...

Hmm. Make her hair really thick and give her twin braids. This is what my wife does because her hair is too thick to make a single braid manageable.

I love writing slice of life and wholesome stuff as well as romantic/sexual tension build up, but stop it there. I can really enjoy writing fight scenes, if it lives in my head vividly enough to readily translate into words. I don't care to read or write sex scenes. I may *summarize* a scene...

Depends on the character's personality and life events. One of my secondary characters, Fuyuko, has been keeping her hair in a rough short cut because she was orphaned at the age of 8. Long hair is not something she wanted to take care of, and as a street rat, she preferred not being easily...

Underdog can be fine, but there's a lot of layers between that and the extreme far end of being born as Superman or or what ever would be a setting-appropriate equivalent. Doing a mental review of my current story and my planned ones, I tend to have a mix of advantages and disadvantages for my...

It's mostly an extension of a few things: The nature of spirits and souls. everything alive has a spirit, everything that becomes sapient compresses spirit into a soul, and if you get a sapience that is not alive, it automatically starts gathering enough spirit energy to form a soul, and then a...

This sort of effect is why one of the rules of magic in my setting is that directly affecting other people is difficult. Which I am going to what I use for what I am most pleased with—not a specific power, but how power works in general, and I will also use your spell there as a source for...

Almost three years in, I have yet to try stopping. But I also have a definitive end point for this series, and it provides the kick off point for my next series. And it is fun. :)

Here's an amusing short (5:35) video on the subject: But there are three dashes. - (dash/hyphen) – (En-dash, because it's the width of an 'N') — (Em-dash, because it's the width of an 'M')

What's funny is, I never used to use em-dashes at all. All of this stuff about AIs and Em-dashes made me need to learn what the proper use of an em-dash was. Now I have started to use them. Quick tip: holding the window key + pressing the period [.] key brings up a tool to select emojis and...

This is a case where all I can really do is show what I have done in a one-on-one fight, and that my audience enjoyed it. I'm using this particular fight because your example also appears to be a one-on-one. If you ask me questions on what I am doing and why, I should be able to start breaking...

That's sort of what I have, but I had to cut back recently due to some time conflicts making it difficult to keep up. When I have this dealt with, I hope to return to that model of increasing value for the top tier.

The 'standard model' for sites like this is to release chapters at a steady rate for free, and have [X] number of early chapters available on Patreon. So they are free for those who are willing to wait (or just don't have money), but people who chose to support you feel like they are getting...

Video games, D&D, raising foster cats, poking around on Reddit and such. A lot of my time is spent writing, editing, or trying to get my brain to focus on them. :D

Halloween is my favorite of all of them. Other than that, it's nice to have a pre-timed reason a few times a year for everyone to get together and have a meal, given that there is significant travel time involved. We don't really do much other that that, so it's just a family get together.

Not very often. I'm most likely to hit up Merriam-Webster when I want to make sure I am using a word correctly. I'll just have a moment of "Wait, I'm pretty certain that in this situation, this word means [X], but I should check before I make a mistake." Then sometimes I use something 'weird'...

What is best for me varies wildly, but when music is what I need, I am usually best off with either instrumental (such as classical music) or something where the voice registers more like an instrument than words. Example: A lot of the FFXIV OST has words, but unless you focus on it, the...

I chose the fox. My wife likes foxes, and I would enjoy the pettings and scritches. :)

I'm actually in the middle of writing the one full training arc for my story, so I can tell you what I am doing. In my case, this is being done via a combat training environment, i.e. visiting a type of Dungeon. For each section, I start with some details showing what every one is doing, just...
