In a developed society, everything is done by robots. Except for sexual slavery or experiments. The bacterial invasion exemplified by COVID shows that there is a chance for survival. It is impossible to live on a destroyed earth, as it will be destroyed. However, I would love to witness the...

These tips are just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone adapts them in their own way. A large number of rewrites or letters helps you catch the right idea and come back to it later. It also helps you refine your personal style. However, it does not truly address the issues or ideas of the work...

In practice, I've found that this approach only helps you write a rough draft. After that, you have to refine many poorly thought-out elements. This involves removing excessive exposure, рianos in the bushes, inconsistencies, logic, and so on. As a result, you have to rethink the structure of...

Тhis process takes up approximately 99% of the writing time. At some point, you have to force yourself to come up with scenes that don't come naturally, but are essential for the plot.

It feels like a lot of people just heard about empathy somewhere and now they're talking about it just to be like everyone else or to be different. But in reality, they're just robots.

You can always voice it yourself, and the AI will just change the tone of your voice. And it will be of high quality. Deepfakes in "Hollywood" are worse than what outsiders do.

There are many issues listed here that would require separate discussions, which would lead to several more... But I'm glad for the emergence of AI and the excitement it's creating. I've worked in the gaming industry and in various entertainment and cultural sectors. The main problems for me...

Just like pink unicorns.

Here's a practical tip: make sure your blood pressure is low. In addition to sleeping pills, you need a sedative or instead of him. The main element is your blood pressure. You can use a cheap, affordable, and low-potency medication as a sleeping pill or a migraine remedy. Melatonin does not...

"The Wandering Inn" - is definitely the benchmark for the genre. But there's a character who doesn't level up, doesn't gain any abilities or cultivation. Yet, he becomes stronger and defeats leveled-up opponents. There are certain items that aid in this. I think the story itself has lost its...

If your spacesuit has a built-in scanner that shows the chemical composition of objects and draws conclusions based on it, it's not LitRPG. Оr a weather monitoring system. Otherwise, we're already living inside a LitRPG. And its alternatives can practically replace most of the systems in LitRPG...

Of course, this element itself can be very attractive, complex, relevant, and interesting. But is it really necessary to put him everywhere? Just think about what he does in your story. What function does he perform? An artifact, a secretary-analyst, or its technological equivalent can replace...

The lack of payment is more of a demotivator than the presence of payment for increased productivity. But the interest is stronger. I'm currently trying to create a high-quality story from my drafts. It's very challenging compared to how they were written. The difference is literally 11 pages...

I think you've gone too far in your reasoning. I won't try to dissuade you. Imagine Skyrim. When you press the jump key, you jump and fall. If it's a small hill, it's fine. But when you fall off a mountain, I can't help but feel like I'm about to be hit with a heavy stick.

Okay, Earthman, I think I get it. I'll tell them that watching Charlie Chaplin's cut-out fall usually doesn't make your hair stand on end. Damn, what about those two-second shorts? I know one theory. Before people started walking on two legs, they created tribes of no more than 150 people. This...

I mean, no goosebumps. You just think you know everything, right? I was still thinking about the feeling. Everyone has their own hero. Neither Neo falling through the asphalt nor the bandits from "Home Alone" are characters for you? And if you think about the feelings? Didn't you have a hero...

It's strange. When you write a post and people respond to it and discuss it, everything is fine. It seems like you can relax a bit after something serious. But no one has any reaction. What's wrong with this text? Is this the case everywhere, or did I just make a mistake with the planet?

I would rather think about what led the writer to such a dilemma. Perhaps the problem is not in this text, but in what came before it. The "show or tell" dilemma almost never occurs within a single sentence on its own. It is a symptom of a deeper problem in the narrative structure. If there was...

Without a character's perspective or even a hint of their perception, it's just a "dead" description. If there's no better option, I would combine these. "Show" doesn't mean dismissing the character's immediate feelings. "The morning was too bright to leave unattended. But Hoshino stood by the...

I have a suspicion that all this is going to come down to a discussion of "how to write an interesting story". Well, who knows? On the other hand, the main thing is to convey everything that already seems interesting in the right way. That is, to be on the same page with the reader, sharing...
