    Daily Writing Process Tips/Tricks?

    I have many backup plans. ? I'm just being a bit wild. I moved to the Netherlands from the US three months ago. The DAFT visa makes you make a business. I figured I'd do this one. Yay savings...

    Philosophy, psychology, and themes in writing. What is your story trying to say?

    Pretty sure mine has something to do with overcoming societal expectations, found family over bloodlines, and being flexible and dynamic when faced with adversity. And pushing through no matter what for the people you love. I like optimistic nihilism. What else are we going to do while we're...

    Recommendations A villainess died and reincarnated as a cow

    I was thinking more like this: Or even like this! Cow disguise~~~ Wait no I like this idea. Villainess disguises herself as a cow to infiltrate the family. Thinks no one knows she's not a cow. But they know. But they play along anyway. Hijinks ensue.

    How to overcome writer’s block?

    Outline first? I have a very brief outline. As in, chapter 1: [this happens], chapter 2: [this happens]. Then it's a matter of writing the action, as in, "Mhordredd opens the cabinet." And then there's an action sequence to expand on. Then it's a matter of improving the action, as in...

    Daily Writing Process Tips/Tricks?

    Thank you for your responses everyone. It's really interesting to see how different everyone's process is so far and, actually, how writing fits into everyone's lives. I do think I'm a planner at this point, yeah. :blobrofl: That's pretty evident. Pantser writing creates anxiety in me...

    I think someone should write this for you. I would just for laughs but I seem to be having a hard time with my current level of output. But I think someone should do this. Any takers? ?

    Anyone know Total Distortion?

    You play in first person, kind of like Mist or Riven. The game lore is that other dimensions were discovered based on the thoughts of humans on earth, if I remember correctly. So there's dimensions for cartoon shows, for instance, or various movies, or just straight up odd stuff. You are a...

    Daily Writing Process Tips/Tricks?

    I'm a newbie writing full-time and trying to get my daily process down. Every day currently blesses me with little surprises that I didn't think of. Last week, I realized I had a bad habit of inserting repetitive actions and overusing some particular adverbs and adjectives. Today, I realized I...

    Writing 1,000, 1,500, or 2,000 --- What’s the ideal word count per chapter

    What do you mean about 2k 1x/week being the sweet spot? Is this the sweet spot in terms of gaining/keeping readers, or in workload, or both?

    Recommendations A villainess died and reincarnated as a cow

    I love your enthusiasm for cow reincarnation. I'm trying to figure out how to write her performing her villainry without opposable thumbs. I imagine she might kick a lantern over and light the barn on fire, or fart in the face of the protagonist family's child, among other shenanigans. Are you...

    What's The Best Time To Post Chapters?

    My guess is it's also really important to post around the same time every time. I've seen people recommend that you post at a bunch of different times to "capture" different readers, but in my limited experience, consistency is more important than what exact time you post.

    Is there any advantage in writing a book like talking with the reader?

    I mean, it seems like a unique way to write a story. That might be worth it, just to flex your writing muscles in a new direction or to set yourself apart. But I feel like you should choose the way you write your story based on how it would be best told, you know what I mean? So if your story...
