Just like Corty's bit, is really bad on its own, but can be good advice when it's explained. What this actually means, at least to me, is not to be afraid of others' criticism and write what you like, cause even if your story isn't popular, there are people that will enjoy it. Put this way, it...

A lot of it is debatable. Naming emotions is for me the most glaring sign of telling, but it's not like it's strictly defined. On the latter, yep.

I agree with everything here except your example, at least in the context of showing instead of telling. The first half of it is a lot of telling. For a dumbass' "tell" category, maybe. Length should have nothing to do with it. Then again, the average person is pretty dumb, so...

I mostly agree on the weird tags, but I couldn't disagree more on the said. Weird dialogue tags can be distracting and they shouldn't be used much, but using said or whispered or shouted can be just as bad if used excessively. It's not invisible. It is, in fact, glaringly obvious and disrupting...

Ok, makes sense. I mostly do agree on this, though whether angry is up to interpretation is debatable. That's the issue. From the character's perspective, that's almost impossible to tell - and for that reason, writing it directly is weird. When you show that, however, you can write that the...

I don't agree with that assessment about show, not tell. Well, maybe I do with the part where many people don't know what it really means, but I don't have much experience in that regard. You don't need to write whole scenes to show something though - usually, just a single sentence is...

Slow burn and tension generally don't mix well. Ideally, you should switch between various paces depending on what's going on in the story. If there's action and tension, faster developments are natural and allow to build momentum at a good pace until you reach the climax - if you try to write...

The number of views of the story is the sum of all chapter views plus the story page itself (for new stories, the latter will make up the most of that number). I'm pretty sure it doesn't distinguish unique views, just counts up every time any of those are opened. For the number of readers...

I'm pretty sure I heard about that story somewhere, or at least a similar one. Good for you, it's great to have solid teachers even in subjects that wouldn't interest you.

Individual ratings are meaningless. Reviews matter because they have more meat, but you shouldn't pay attention to each and every rating you receive, only to their distribution once you have more. I know there have been some people that would give five star ratings to every single story that...

One extremely common mistake is bending the world around the main cast. If you make the mc stand out across all the people without a really good reason, it will look unrealistic at best. Remember that when you have billions of people, even if your main character is unmatched across the...

Players may count as possessing a body/avatar, depending on how specific we want to be. Creating a list like this is kind of stupid because on one hand you have to make some generalizations so you don't end up with thirty barely different categories, but if you try to compress them, you'll...

Bruh there's like 5 more kinds of "undying" beings you either haven't mentioned or just loosely grouped, maybe more depending how exactly we interpret it. I really don't like your super regeneration, because this can apply to most kinds of undying beings. Liches can move their souls to other...

I cannot comprehend how family can be so invasive. Not sure how I should even feel about it, but from my perspective this is like, not normal. When my mom first sussed out I visited an 18+ site a few years ago, I had a stressful moment when she asked me that, told her I heard about it and...

If it's simple and common units like feet or miles or gallons, it usually doesn't matter much to me. I know or at least recognize the basic units in both systems. U sure about that? I'm not certain how it's done now across the world, but historically inches were comonly used for gun calibers...

I haven't read much, but personally, I think his style is too systematic and depersonalized. The quality is of course great, but I never really enjoyed his stories, and I often felt like the focus of the story was the plot rather than the characters, which would be fine in some cases with much...

:blob_blank: This is why it is there is evil, there is greater evil, and then there's statistics. None of this is correct, but statistics make it look like you're making sense. To speak of novels, you would need to collect fractional ratings from all books, not the ratings that make those up...

For me the answer to that question really depends. If we're talking about my very first attempts, then it was sometime in primary school, I don't really remember when. To say they were bad would be an understatement though. Nothing came from them and I completely dropped writing for a long time...

From my experience, Scribble Hub just has the least issues by far.

Are the cliche options good? Like karaoke, beach, shopping, pool, sauna? There's also a couple short activities you can add to an outing, such as photo booths, ice cream or other snacks, arcade games. Other than that, I think going to eat and/or drink is by far the most popular activity. An...
