Me, I go for anything sour, when it comes to cocktails I don't like the sweet stuff, and I love gin. (Though it hates me. Hangover from hell.) combine those two properties and you are good. A "Hot Toddy" is great when you are sick, and is a nice relaxing remedy. If you want recipes, there are...

Unless you have pre-existing conditions like diabetes, you should be fine. Might make you not feel the best though. Still listen to your body, and seek help if you feel there is need. It doesn't sound worrisome at all with the amount stated. I used to eat whole pies by myself when I was younger...

since everyone is throwing out references. I always think of Baccano when I think of a character with a god complex. Maybe it will give you some inspiration.

There is a common hurdle among all writers that even the extremely successful ones talk about. It is so common it has its own name. It's called "The Marathon of the Middle." Once you hit your stride and get past the beginning of your tale, it becomes difficult to know where to go from there. and...

I would listen to this song every time I roleplayed a certain character to get into his head. The character was a high energy kid. This is what I have been listening to for a character I am currently writing (Be warned song can be considered explicit)

A good excercise to try is to put your pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and write whatever comes to your mind as fast as you can without thinking about editing, or even making sense. Do this sort of free writing for about 5-10 minutes. Don't worry if it comes out a garbled mess. Sometimes...

Whatever tools you use, I believe a good story is often defined by the concepts the author wants to explore with their MC's struggles. What their character is 'about,' the kind of philosophy being explored behind the lines of text. Whether the building blocks of the story are struggling to stand...

I'm more of a folk/non traditional music guy. With the occasional foray into dark cabaret. There is much more variety out there that many people hardly bother to look for. I think some of my best experiences in music were things I stumbled across by accident. I think being eclectic is key, with...

Eat your heart out.

Lick a wet surface and laugh like a villain revelling in the taste of God's tears... *And why? Because sometimes as an adult, you need to keep in touch with your inner-child.

I think it depends on what you set out to do when writing. If your aim is to write a nice Isekai. Your story likely won't be that deep. If your goal is to explore the metaphysical ramifications of a banana... It probably won't be that deep either. But the point is, whatever concept you decide to...

My theory is, I believe the root reason why the medieval setting is so popular is because for the modern human, it is the romanticized ideal of getting back to our "roots." Once the industrial age hit and beyond, certain problems in human society became more complicated as the value of "human...

Unfortunately, I am unsure if I have the time to commit to anything at the moment. But I will try to throw out constructive thoughts when I can if that helps. I want to encourage anyone who wants to put themselves out there with their writing. Life is just too chaotic for me at the moment to say...

Tried reading a couple chapters so far. You have a good basis and voice, but it seems to move a little quickly, you can take your time to build the world, and don't need to rush to the exciting bits. The best advice I can give is to work on "Show. Don't tell." in your exposition. Otherwise...

I think it's the obvious easy way to maintain tension. Keep your character at an obvious weakness compared to those that surround them... I hate it to. You don't have to make your characters constantly feel weak in order to display weakness in them at a critical moment. You can have a strong...

The quiet background character who manipulates events without anyone realizing it.

All this kinetic Energy and heat along with magic abilities should have a primary source(s) cores or some idea of where all this energy originates when it's released. What happens when they overheat, or even explode from the inside? Not to mention I have to wonder how much this combo of energies...

At it's root almost all fear can be traced back to one concept. "The Unknown." I find for horror, the more uncertain it makes you, in your reality, in your surroundings, in your future, the more effective it is at frightening you. What is more important than what is seen, is what is not seen...

Absolutely. I have a macabre sense of humor. I scare people sometimes with the things I joke about. It just makes me laugh harder.

Morality is ambiguous. If you want to make a reformed "bad guy" into a true bad guy again, ask yourself, "What are their primary motivations?" "What are they trying to preserve or protect?" Then you offer them a realistic choice, making it easier to accomplish their overall goal if they return...
