If I have very short chapters I look to do one of 4 things: 1. Move to part of another chapter. Either in total or split between two existing chapters. 2. Add a pov section for another character. 3. Insert world building background info that is relevant to the story, section. 4. Leave as is...

Not as unique as other ones mentioned here but my character has a leather pouch that is full of finely ground glass. The way the pouch is shaped allows it to be gripped on one side to allow her to fling the contents into someone's face. Obviously she has to be aware of wind direction when using...

Not misheard but horrible if you pay attention to the lyrics- Emotionless by Red Sun Rising. I refer to it as the Necrophiliac song.

Living. In a few weeks I'll get to find out how many organs l'll need to sell to cover the hospital visit.

I hate how accurate this is.

I will frequently write scenes/events that I want to occur, then go back and fill in the blanks for how we got from point 'A' to point 'Q'.

Hahahahaha....No.

For me, races is what I use for the 'intelligent' ones. Species is more generic and I use that more for animals and the like. So Elves are a race. Wargs are a species. Dragons could be either depending on if they are the aloof, haughty scholars or animalistic version in whichever fiction...

Shit, I already have that down pat.

Label your story correctly so the readers know. I suspect you will be fine because mentioning is not the same as encouraging.

Fuck a duck in the muck- I remember hearing a guy use this and the response was a very confused 'A what in the where?'

I know it's all up to me, but I also have very limited skills and knowledge with longer works. Most of what I have written is short stories under 15k words. I want to try to avoid annoying my readers too much. If they are reading my stories they are already suffering.

The way I have now is one chapter is multiple alternate povs, that way the main chapters are not broken up. I only have a few every 3 or 4 chapters so I think it works.... ish... maybe.

Most of my book is from the view of the main character. But I do have sections where I flip to another characters viewpoint. How should I break these out chapter wise? They are smaller portions, always under 1500 words, some much slimmer. Do I give them their own chapters or do I insert them as...

...why?

You think drinking the milk from another animal is healthy? Please explain why a huge portion on the world is lactose intolerant. You really think meat is healthy? Considering the pesticides sprayed on everything, you don't think that transfers over?

No. I read and watch shows for entertainment. For enjoyment. I have never had a sad ending give we a cathartic release or any other bullshit like that. If you need stories to realize the world is harsh, dirty and nasty at times, you live a very very fucking sheltered life. I had someone ask why...

Umm... because a huge percentage of people are assholes and wouldn't give a shit about owning slaves if they could?

Diabolic Lovers.

Change it. Come up with an option that you like better. Rewrites are a thing for a reaon. Don't be afraid of the delete key. I am on version number 4 of my story(it was a complete seat of my pants story, no real planning), and I am finally at the point where I am starting a reread/edit from the...
