    Starting To Draw My Main Character Again

    I've always used imgur, never had to download their app. I just upload it, then right click and copy image address.

    Criticism

    The biggest question comes down to if they are willing to engage in a conversation or not. If they just leave an essay bomb and run away, that isn't constructive criticism. Do note, the point of constructive criticism isn't simply to agree or disagree with the criticism. But to understand other...

    Best Buy: Drawing Tablet - Please advice this poor soul.

    How is the texture on that? Part of the issue I have with LCD drawing tablets that I've tried is the texture of the glass screen is too smooth. Which makes it hard to draw accurately and there always ends up some slippage. Does it offer some paper like resistance?

    Bloodshed and Backstories

    To be honest, I hate backstory arcs. I've rarely seen a backstory done right. Most of them just feel like they drag the story down rather than progress it. At first I wanted to start at a point than do a backstory, but after some thought I just decided to start at the beginning. It just feels...

    Okay, just a quick question

    As mentioned, a light novel is simply a published novel. The only difference between a light novel and a regular novel is light novels are usually shorter and aimed at teenagers.

    Template Editing

    I think you are confusing something here... scribble hub is a website to post your own novels. Not to make websites. You probably have the wrong scribble. Or are you using the tinymce editor to make html templates? That isn't what its for and you should use a more proper WYSIWYG editor for...

    Authors: What was your reaction to your first 1 star rating?

    I don't let it get to me. I mean it's only a single rating and it's not a big deal. You can't please everyone, so I just call up a friend, talk about it and pretend it never happened. The person who gave the 1 star rating dead body being found in a river the next day and the friend being a...

    How can you develop a story pace properly?

    Generally, people are happy when a chapter is fulfilling. So regardless of how slow or fast you go, if each chapter gives the feel of fulfillment, people won't complain. Of course that may not always be possible, but it should be the case for the most part. Part of the issue that rushing...

    fortnite pulled a "fight against 1984" because apple started pulling their game off the app store

    Yes, and since both sides of the political isle want to get back at tech companies because they feel like they have too much control over elections, aka old money vs new money. They might take steps regardless. That might be their intention, but that doesn't mean consumers can't benefit from...

    fortnite pulled a "fight against 1984" because apple started pulling their game off the app store

    People underestimate the force that anti-trust laws can have on things. Google at the very least lets you side load, but Apple does not. While Apple has less marketshare globally, in the US it makes a difference. It is due to these anti-trust laws that Apple even exists today. Because Microsoft...

    Writing Normal Isekai Thing??

    Are you trying to do a cinematic effect here? I highly suggest against using movies/anime technique as a basis for a novel cause you really don't have access to visual cues. Which means you are gonna have to tackle a lot of things with words Or are you simply trying to decide where to fast...

    That you go to a place where you are in the clouds and where you must follow strict rules without committing a single "sin" for all eternity... and listen to chorus for all eternity too... the horror...

    Writing Which is your favourite POV and why???

    I prefer first person, it brings you closer to the feelings of the character. The downside is that if the person reading can't relate to the character, then it'll be a more painful read. But the upside is if they can relate, 1st person is much more immersive.

    Reincarnation into another world is a poorly done and over used cliche.

    *blink*blink* Is there any particular reason? I ask this because its the 3rd time someone asks me a similar kind of question but no one tells me why? Is there something I'm missing?

    How to divert idea that didn't match with the story?

    The fact that you are diverting ideas is a good sign. One of the biggest faults of writing is when an author tries to stick an idea into a story that doesn't match simply because they think it is cool or what not. Sometimes its best to cut your losses. As for how to get around it, how about...

    Reincarnation into another world is a poorly done and over used cliche.

    I think all authors who write isekai have mental issues... that goes double if they make them litrpgs... That said, your beef seems to be with wish fulfillment, many people use web novels and light novels for escapism. So it is more of running away to another world rather than anything else...

    How to schedual writing time

    Generally, it's a good idea to write first, worry about fixing it up later. If I get stuck unless it is something really really major that would effect the entire story, when I got stuck on a scene I would just put ... then move onto the next chapter. Then come back and fill it in when I get a...

    As an author, what is your take on 'reviews'?

    I think part of the issue is that most of the traffic of SH most likely comes from NU. So people would click through NU. So more than likely not everyone is still taking full advantage of the site as a whole. Like how many non-authors are even in this forum? Point is the engagement level of...
