    Need Inspirational Song

    I usually listen to this if I want to psych myself up to do something I procrastinate on.

    Mundane things that will keep you from starting to read something

    If the print is too large. This tells me it's likely for younger audiences, and the book is trying to look larger than actually is. I know it's not going to take much time to read through and it's probably lacking in sophisticated plot development. I know saying this on a web novel site where...

    What’s your most ambitious idea for a story?

    A children's fairy tale series with strong themes and life lessons, written and fully illustrated by myself. *Edit* I am by no means a visual artist of any kind. But I want to learn just for this project.

    Fill out this small survey~~

    I would probably say "Hi I'm *insert name here,* you are? *Wait for response* "Well *insert other person's name here* I'm glad to meet you." It seems odd but I prioritize saying my name and using the other person's name. It serves the purpose of humanizing each other as equals. I also repeat...

    Racism in world building books and Earth books

    It all depends on the point you're trying to make If racism makes sense in your story and world building, and leads to some kind of development, I have no issue with it. Racism exists. Art imitates life. Even if it's gritty or unpleasant if it's part of the greater story you are trying to tell...

    Realisation and Resolution (Update)

    Glad to hear from you. It can be difficult when you feel sick all the time and your own body keeps you from the things you wish for. (I also can hardly eat anything without vomiting, among many other issues.) But I hope you continue to find things to cherish. For me, my everyday motivation lies...

    Isekai + GL is an overpowered combination

    I'm not a GL fan, not my thing. But it's most definitely a trend here, so you will find an audience. Follow what works if that helps with your primary goals. I sift through so many stories looking for anything without the GL or gender bender tags it's ridiculous. To each their own, to find and...

    Spatial magic, magic system ideas.

    I don't have time right now to go to in depth, but don't forget that space and time are intrinsically tied. If you can manipulate space magic, it is extremely likely you would be able to eventually manipulate the laws of time, and that can get complicated as an author.

    Fantasy Action Opinion: Most Important Role/Class In Teamplay

    In my mind, in a group of 10 or more coordination is key. A commander-type class would probably work best. (There were classes such as martial in 3.5) the reality is a dungeonering group that large full of individualists (as players often are) you need a leader to keep them together. Otherwise...

    System novels are annoying

    I don't think it's bias. Few use the system convention well. I always think that a system is probably best put in place as a sort of antagonist for the character. It is not a friendly thing in my mind. A system is a tyrant offering seemingly easy power at the price of total control, shackling...

    Two potential covers made with the help of A.I. Which is better?

    Definitely go with the first. Given the theme is a mystery/horror it is a better fit. The second one is too bleak, and gives off the impression of being too honest. It highlights the horror with none of the mystery. The skyline is dark and drab with only the slightest feeling of intensity due to...

    What's a sane yet horrible reason to lock your 1yr child in their room/prison? Victorian Fantasy Setting.

    If it's a victorian setting? They just have to be some form of physically or mentally disabled. If severe enough, this kind of thing actually happened a lot in the past. Some families would hide or sweep under the rug what they were ashamed of. You could even explain away doing that to an...

    Let Us Unite in Our Humanity

    I don't think it is love that makes us human. After all, there are examples of what we call love in animals, and there are certainly examples of humans incapable of love. Rather, I find what makes us human is our ability to tell stories, and think in abstract ways. These things have more defined...

    A quote a day

    "The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas." Hermann Hesse- from the novel Demian

    Novel Villains and High Blood pressure

    In my opinion, the best villains are both terrible and relatable. They make you recognize the uncomfortable thought that you could become a villain too.

    Is it a custom to thank someone for following you?

    No real custom, just a personal decision. If I ever wrote a story online, which is unlikely, because I am covetous of my ownership rights to my work, I wouldn't acknowledge my audience too much. Not because I would be unappreciative of their enjoyment and support; I simply don't write for an...
