    Someone told me I was woman repellant so I told them "Your mother gave birth to you just to get you further away from her."

    Recommendations Give works that primarily focus on illusion magic plox

    Skyrim. Skyrim's illusion magic is an interesting take to be honest. It encompasses more than the standard illusions, Going more in depth to stealth (muffling footsteps or invisibility) and emotional manipulation (Calming enemies, Charming them or instilling fear into them.) Mind control and...

    Who else has occasionally archaic or other weird language usage based on childhood reading material?

    In my comedy story, I actually use vocabulary to make character points to the opposite effect. It's a mixture between meta narrative and the MC's thoughts mixed together, Resulting in some points where the MC uses a "fancy" word (typically just a long one that has it's meaning stretched to...

    How did you improve your descriptive writing?

    What I usually do is think of the feeling I want to convey and use certain words that coincide with that feeling. For example, If you want to make it feel more large, You could describe the shadow as titanic and go in to depth on the feeling hopelessness as they TRY to escape the tentacles...

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    What about a blade that grows longer for the soul of each major enemy defeated and grows a new voice or aspect of personality based on who was killed. It's a weapon broken into pieces with each separate shard adding an inch or two to the blade and turning it into a longer and stronger weapon...

    Dream Journal on SH?

    It's a very bizarre set of experiences, Though my mind is a bit plagued with trauma so it holds unordinary amounts of structure and logic (my trauma responses.) which can make eerily deep dreamscapes

    Dream Journal on SH?

    I'm a lucid dreamer and I have dreams extremely frequently, Vivid ones at that. Would anyone like to read my dream journal I have been creating? I also write poetry and philosophical thoughts that I have during my thinking sessions. Just to add a little bit of spice and really tell a story...

    Need suggestions for a prologue

    Building off the idea above me, It would be kind of epic and very fitting for the character to die trying to be some sort of vigilante or messing with a group of thugs because he thinks he can beat them and getting absolutely whooped. That way people get a glimpse of his mentality and why he is...

    Writing How Long Does It Take You to Upload New Chapters? ?

    One thing that helped me a lot was getting an app to organize my ideas into smaller more functionaly pieces and expand my story slowly.

    How to not feel bad for taking a break?

    Think of it as a purge and a nice return to a fresh start. Like trimming off the fat, The artificial inflation of readers only interested in a consistent schedule will fall away and the ones invested in your work will stay. Not only that, It's not just for you, It's also for them. Taking care...

    Authors & Reviews/Comments (Also, Am I being copied?)

    I had a similar situation happen to me before, I'm not the best singer in the world but I've gotten leads in adult musicals and all so I'm not the worst. With that preface, I had a colleague come up to me and tell me I was extremely off-key and proceeded to correct me by singing off key riffs...

    Authors & Reviews/Comments (Also, Am I being copied?)

    Gotcha, Yeah I'm not going to get tilted by a singular comment, I just thought it was a specifically whack one when I caught wind of competition. Regardless, People are all entitled to their own opinions and everyone is a critic! 1 vocal minority isn't worth throwing a fit over and my mental...

    How Many Chapters Does It Take to Hook You?

    For me it's about 3-5, I feel like it's the sweet spot to find out if you like the author's style and if you think it's going in a direction or is throwing ideas at the wall and hoping something sticks. Also a clever MC that outwits opponents. >>>>

    Authors & Reviews/Comments (Also, Am I being copied?)

    Alright, This seems like a lot more grounded of a take. I appreciate it and I think I'll let it slide and all. I'm not looking to beef with other authors, I just wasn't familiar with SH's culture and didn't know if this was typical behavior or not. I've kindly directed him to my PMs where I...
