    “There’s always tragedies mixed in with the prodigies”. This line always stuck out to me in my story. I’ve always liked it.

    Of course! I asked for your feedback, and I’m very grateful you took the time to help me address the technical problems for my writing! :D I always ask my friends, but I think they are too kind and say: yeah it’s good! :sweating_profusely: Which doesn’t help me grow as a writer. Huh, I never...

    Free First Chapter Feedback

    I’ve been told by many that my writing tends to be more technical and verbose. My exposition can be way too wordy, which does explain it being an info dump. [FFXIV is so hard to explain without it being such an info dump lmao.] I’ll go through and see what I can whittle down in Traveler. Yeah...

    Scribblehub forums or Novelupdates forums

    I’ve heard of NUF before, have I joined them? No, not really. It’s a bit too busy for my taste. I’m definitely more on the quiet side. ScribbleHub is more like my cup of tea. I like the quiet atmosphere; I guess the reason why I don’t post often or not enough is because I don’t feel pressured...

    A long and cool story.

    You could probably take a stab at mine; Traveler has 350K words, 1000+ pages... Although if you’ve played FFXIV, its similar to a retelling of the game but from WoL perspective only.

    Writing For a Mute Character

    There’s something here that I’ve considered as well; there are different dialects to Sign Language, such as the difference between American Sign Language to Ukrainian Sign Language. That would change how someone would sign—however I’m not sure what dialect of sign an Eorzean would use in FFXIV...

    Writing For a Mute Character

    I have a question for readers and writers alike: How can one effectively write for a character who is mute—as their only form of language may be sign language. As a reader what would be aesthetically pleasing to see? Option 1: Nin-Nin signed several signals using his hands, conversing to...

    Writing Backing up your writing -- Using Google Drive to Sync Cloud Data ( Do not click this thread if you do not believe in fires)

    So... I wish google docs existed back in my university days.... Could have saved me that letter grade (D) on my report. Story time! I didn’t have a laptop when I was a young university student, so I went to the library most of the time to write my reports and essays. I had been in the library...

    Tell me you're tired/depressed without saying you're tired/depressed

    The last time I ate food was around two days ago.

    Auksoun's stuff

    From the way your character is set up in the first image, he looks collected and calm — his second pose just makes him appear like an easy going guy. The eyes definitely play a role in this. He looks pretty cool though—I like the way you designed his hair

    How to cheat yourself into trending - Part DCLXVI

    The year: 2077 I am 87 years old, having grasped a tiny sliver of the thing known as “trending” on ScribbleHub... there were long, hard battles of writing these ideas. How many stories had been abandoned? How many have been scattered to dust...? How many words did I actually write for that fan...

    Final Fantasy XIV - Extreme / Savage Trials

    I know there was a thread created back in 2019 for discussion on FFXIV for the 5.0 Content; but it’s kinda dead and not really moving... I wanted to ask if anyone actively plays FFXIV, and if so, is it worth it to do the Extreme or Savage Content? I wouldn’t mind doing it, however since I main...

    I’m having a dumb moment; For weeks I’ve been trying to change my sub tagline under my username—and I just can’t figure it out for the life of me. Maybe it’s because I’m working on my Iphone or IPad—not sure at this point. I guess I’ll just be that “Well-Known Person” for a long time. Lol

    How do you deal with a declining viewcount trend on your story?

    I can say from experience writing 3-5K worded chapters do not increase your readers, comments, or likes. Just write the amount that fulfills what you‘re trying to accomplish in that chapter. Quality over quantity. Am I worried about it, nah not really. I enjoy what I write and my best friend...

    The Quote Depository

    It’s a green hollow, where a river is singing Crazily hanging on the grasses rags Of silver; where the sun, from the proud mountain, Is shinning: it’s a little valley bubbling with sunlight. A young soldier, his mouth open, his head bare, And the nape of his neck bathing in cool blue...

    Recommendations A mc who genuinely cares about others.

    I don’t want to shamelessly plug... I do have a fan fiction from FFXIV dealing with the warrior of light who helps people. Sometimes she does it for money, other times she does it to help out the community. Not sure if that’s something you’d be interested in...
