    Looking for a word

    I started looking at the etymology of things. Like Opposite. for example which also is described by contrary (or even Contrasts). So how about the "Cons" short for contrasts. Outside of that, start looking at the etymology of words. you can find things in them.

    How to increase wordpool for strong and unique words

    @BluePheasant Hi Blue, I totally get you. Because even native speakers (like myself) strive to make concise and declarative sentences. Not overly wordy. And I do write in that style. DM me, I'll help you. And if want to see that concise style just read my first chapter. They Feed At Night AND...

    Why can’t I read my own novel?!

    Heh heh, it sounds more like you have read it so much the jokes are falling flat. And I won't tell you to leave it alone, because you won't. But if you still feel it is bad it's probably because the novel's structure is off and because you may not be writing OH WOW moments in your chapters...

    Writing Any advice on how to properly structure an arc/volume of a novel?

    I agree with you Dylan. That's why my last-latest is a purely interpersonal story. MIND you, people do care about plot if it is interesting. But yes, 100%, readers are more vested in interesting characters that have arcs. I would even add "interpersonal relationships" are also important. (And...

    What do you consider a strong character to be?

    the strongest character is the one with the strong will. courageous and smart. the character that I absolutely detest is the one that cries and sniffles without being able to form a decision. I cannot identify with that character at all. but yes, strength in confidence strength in one's own...

    Writing How do you plan a very long series?

    I hope you realize through the comments that the authors who write these never-ending stories have no plan. They just write whatever they feel like until they eventually run out of steam and just drop the story. If someone actually outlines a story it will have an end and it won't go on for...

    Shower Thought on Interactions Between Dimensions

    But I wonder if a 4D entity could fit his entire body into our limited dimension...or would we lack the right senses to see him/it completely. And, also, it's perception of time. 3D objects only go forward. Can Mr. 4D look at slices of our past? (being up too early at work is fun too :sleep:)

    How should I outline my story?

    Hi @RootBeerBert, @SailusGebel suggestion is the most correct. If an outline overwhelms it will stall your writing. So to prevent this follow mah advice: 1. Write out a great hook opening with an inciting incident. (one that hooks the reader. PLEASE DO NOT WRITE SOME POINTLESS INFO DUMP...
