    What do you do to get yourself in the mood to writing light-hearted stories?

    I agree that mood changes with music. That's why I have a playlist from only one band that I listen to while writing my current story. I'm writing a story that (I think) contains the properties you mentioned. And apart from pure romance scenes, all of it comes down to the following. - Take the...

    Hobbies

    When I look for something new to do, I think back to what I enjoyed doing as a kid. As we grow up we forget many of our interests. Like a subject I loved in school during my younger years became successively more boring during the last 6 years in school because the teachers were so much less...

    Recommendations Mc and group coordination?

    The only one I can think of to be honest is Two as One Princesses. I haven't read all that much, but mostly there is little or no playing off eachother in novels in the way you think, as far as I've noticed anyway.

    Why I don't really talk to my parents

    I'm not saying that he is supposed to simply accept the situation. I'm giving him the understanding needed to make his stand. Standing up to your parents is a part of growing up. In fact, the day your parents see you defy their wishes with good reason, they will feel conflicted. Proud that you...

    Why I don't really talk to my parents

    I'm just going out and say it that with the information given, you both made mistakes. Your mistake: Making a promise you can't keep. If you were asked for help just a few days ago, you should have been aware of the possibility that you will be occupied (and thus given information that you want...

    I'm a rookie, but I'm going to shamelessly state my opinion as if I know something. Writing is hard. It's not something you simply can or can't do from the start, it's something you learn. Like most things in life. I have not had any reviews myself, but I imagine it would become quite the blow...

    Writing Thread For Authors/ ups and downs

    I found my desire for writing before I even properly hit puberty. I tried to write something, but I could tell myself I would never want to read the thing I had written. So I gave up. I loved stories, so I immersed myself into the creations of others. I loved almost every story I read. But with...

    I'm a wizard

    At least you don't need to worry about being bored. Why? Who knows. People seem kind of twitchy when it comes to wizardry and witchcraft. At least you won't be burnt at the stake for it anymore.

    Sell/Unsell me on Genderbender Stories

    Overall, I think GB stories fall into one out of two categories. @Moonpearl more or less said it. 1. Comedic stress release. 2. Identity crisis plot, where MC has to deal with change of gender. This then branches off into one out of two optional romantic subplots. Where the romantic partner is...

    Writing Descriptive Tags After Dialogue With First Person POV

    I mean, it depends. On the situation the MC is in, what you want to emphasise. The thing with unconcious reactions IRL, is that they are subtle at best, but often invisible. As they should be in writing, and not be used often. Only when your MC has their attention draw. Focused, surprised...

    Just released my first Chapter

    Alright, I'm going to start by saying that there are kind people on the forums who have created threads for those who need some short advice. Could try posting there. As you asked for advice, I'll give it; don't hate. Your story seems to have potential. A few changes I would do however; 1...

    Writing Descriptive Tags After Dialogue With First Person POV

    Aye, it will likely be too wordy for a conversation. The point is that the statment 'I smirked in amusement at my own bafoonery' underlines the things I mentioned. Smirking is a concious action. It gives the reader the thought that I'm amused at myself or self-depricating. (Edit) And the why...

    Post Your Best Line Below

    “A name that will be forgotten. To remember would be a pointless effort. Especially when there are other things that are worth remembering. Such as your place.” My personal favourite yet.

    Writing Descriptive Tags After Dialogue With First Person POV

    This is what I think is the key. What do you want the readers to feel? I can't say for certain, as I've not writting anything in First Person yet. If you want to make your readers feel deeper emotions, you need to express it. For instance; Before I had noticed, my brow had furrowed in...

    Why is romance sooo bad in isekai novels on this site.

    I think what it boils down to, is character writing, as always. Which is more or less what I think you're hinting for. I don't want to insult isekai as a genre, but the stories of such nature have, quite often, lacking characters. Things that they lack? Motivations. Quite often they lack this...

    What makes a bad novel?

    I absolutely agree with this. The following is just the speculations and point of view of a rookie, who knows nothing but wants their opinion to be immortalized forever on the internet. Grammar simply makes reading smooth. I assume all are readers here, and maybe like myself, want to simply...
