    dnd personality quiz time

    This was fun. It's been some time since I did one of these. Given how high my percentages are, I wonder what this says about me. :LOL:

    'Save the Cat' plotting

    I'm super familiar with it. (Surprising, I know). What I'll say on structuring stories is that a majority of the ways people approach it are saying very similar things, it's just trying to frame in their way to help someone understand it better.

    Want Me To Look at Your Work?

    I'll apologize for being far more aggressive than I usually am. It's a button for me when someone ignores what I said, especially when I try to go out of my way to avoid something. For me, it came across as not caring about what was asked as much as aiming to get something out of me, which is...

    Want Me To Look at Your Work?

    I hate when I write something down explicitly at the beginning, going out of my way to make it a sentence on its own, and it's ignored. Because then I feel like my boundaries are being ignored, and I'm put on the spot. The feedback itself isn't what annoyed me so much as how it was done when I...

    Want Me To Look at Your Work?

    That's fine! I gave it a quick skim, and before we begin, would you like to switch to PM for anything private? Also, I can help if you tell me anything you want me to do in particular or if you'd like me to just ask questions or so on. Regardless, I'm cool with this! And it's fine with such...

    Make The Protagonist a Winner and a Loser

    Oh, I am... But first, I've a video to finish for tomorrow that I've been procrastinating on.

    Make The Protagonist a Winner and a Loser

    Perfect! Also... given mention of slice of life and so on, should have some fun content for that soon with social fantasy. I'm still working out a couple of things on the topic, which requires me to keep watching Frieren.

    Make The Protagonist a Winner and a Loser

    It's all a matter of audience, really. It's just that balance where a character can still be competent while having elements that show vulnerability. As said, relatable by itself is overrated. All about trying to be both at the same time.

    Want Me To Look at Your Work?

    I'm leaving Scribblehub and the entire web novel space as a writer after I'm done with Ties (on top of deleting my work), so yeah, appealing to this platform isn't stuff I'm concerned with. I'm not interested in making stories for webnovel readers, so I never use the tactics I know appeal here...

    Writing Regarding POV

    I'm also going to add this because it helps me not go off on a whole thing about how "write 1st person for character" is incomplete advice. Just use internalization if you're going to do 3rd person with character. Character matters no matter what, 3rd or 1st. See what I showcase here in this one...

    Writing Regarding POV

    Okay, so here are some excerpts I have from a book on the topic. Hopefully this helps in the meantime, until I break it down in my own words that simplify everything. This is from Character vs. Plot From that, we go to this part on character-driven... On the flip side to plot-driven (which...

    Here's some advice on writing descriptions for those who care about growing and expanding their toolkit. There's more I can say, but I'll save it for another time. I hope these snippets work well for others who are interested in learning.

    Writing Regarding POV

    If they don't, I will when I get home. I've been meaning to make an episode on this soon anyway. Though anybody who says you should pick 1st inherently for character doesn't know the full extent of their tools. Indirect internal dialogue is a thing, people!

    What are your general writing hot takes?

    Here's mine: there's a giant portion of the writing community who don't want to actually be writers. They want the status from stuff or see their ideas manifested, but they aren't interested in doing the real work.
