If you wish to do an edit swap or something, I'm up for it. I'm not really in need of an editor, but I'm thinking it never hurts to occasionally do this sort of thing. "Back in my day before AI, you did this sort of thing to stay on your toes." So, I got like 11 chapters of a story, you look it...

When I have writers block, I frequently just jump ahead to something I want to write that is far more fun and then back track to make it fit. So I'm working on the paradox support group. One of the characters is going to succeed on their time travel adventure, when they return, their lives are...

So ToeMato is a stripped orange tabby of 18 years in 5 days. He has extra toes on his front paws, hence his name. He has small cell cancer and the treatment is not working. I will be taking him to the vet today where I will have him killed. I do not like the phrase put to sleep. I am choosing...

TL/DR: How do you push someone into wanting to 'GET GUD' at personal power without a life or death situation? Okay, Think Typical Generic Japanese Middle-Ages European Ambient Nobility Otome Game. You got your Blonde Crown Prince, You got your Black Haired Villainess Who Wears Red And Has...

But I Have No Idea What It Is About. Off the top of my head, I have this vision of someone watching this video then a pop-up appears: "Would you like to participate in our free 30-Trial?" The person clicks, thinking it is a gag, then winds up on this spaceship, except it's a disaster. The...

Do people do fan fiction of fan fiction? Like, Isekai into fan fiction of other people's fan fiction about a story? I'm asking because I had an odd conversation and I doubt it's going anywhere, but they wanted to know if I'd mind fan fiction about my superhero story. I'm not sure how I feel...

I suck at writing synopsis. I just rewrote one for I Was Summoned. How's this one grab ya?

So valentine's day is coming up. I'm wondering how many people did a Holiday themed chapter, or if you are doing a full extra bonus chapter. I'm posting an extra chapter and it begins a date arc. So both in my case. If not, do you do Holiday themed chapters, and if so, which holidays?

I mean, have like, all your chapters set up and you have them carefully spaced out and all the cliff hangers are in place and you get to the end and you go, "I AM SO BRILLIANT! I WANT EVERYONE TO SEE THIS RIGHT NOW!!!" but you know that: 1. If you upload everything at once, it will ruin the...

So I had an idea where a close friend to the MC was actually setting them up the whole time, but I'm starting to get cold feet because I'm not sure if I set it up enough. I have a feeling it'll blind side everyone and come across like a Ryan Johnson movie. I expect the character to have a...

I'm working on a section of the book and I have a problem. Sticking to the past 10 years, who is out there that is an actual popular Male Role Model? I need them to be alive and not fictional or dead. Please skip Andrew Tate. I got that one.

Now, typically a paperback is supposed to be around 100k words. 80k was typical back in my day. However, I just noticed I broke 100k for IWS. Both FTS and HKN both are at 220k-ish. I'm I writing too much? Like, war and peace pushed 587k, that thing is a goddamn monster. I have now written more...

So I work on this other story when I'm bored. Not quite ready to start it yet, but I did write up the teaser. Any thoughts?

So. I'm thinking Mr. Blue Sky. The reason being in the Antagonist is going to walk into a compound full of aliens and nuke the place, but I want him dancing around to a 'cool song' as he murders all the aliens. It will be a series of warehouses on the docks, so it's next to the water. It will...

One of you readers did it. I KNOW ONE OF YOU DID IT. Which one of you? Fess Up. It'll go easier on you if you do. How the hell did this happen? I'm trying to fly under the radar here. Just popular enough to get feedback, not popular enough to actually get a ton of readers. Then Later, when it's...

Okay. So, Imagine you lived in a universe and you're a teenager in school. You meet your "One True Love" you are now high school sweethearts. You are together for about a year, then she gets gunned down in front of you. You have about three months to be all emo and depressed when, the universe...

I have a problem with one story. The beginning is a bit too... brutal for some people's tastes. Like 19 chapters of the MC getting beaten down. I kill his wife, his daughter, I kill his entire squad of men. I drop him in a situation he isn't prepared for and he makes all the wrong choices. Then...

I've been looking at this thing: https://chat.openai.com/chat And I actually have thought about it, and wish to revise the recommendations I have for writing. 1. Outline - You need a halfway decent roadmap. 2. Write your Climax/Apex first. Have that goal of where you are going. You can throw...

Yeah, so... about 80% of the funerals I've attended have been in December. Mom died on my birthday which is this month. Sister died on the 10th, Richard threw himself in front of a subway train last year on the 15th. Madodge is dead, Cabby is dead, Leonard's dead, Sam's dead. I spend last night...

If you are serious about writing, this guy does deep dives into some TERRIBLE books. You could do far worse than watch this guy's videos and learn what NOT to do.
