Can I say I respect your goal here. You want to try to understand a perspective, even if that perspective is controversial, by examining the problem through writing and character analysis. I think no matter how bad or alien a person's mind seems to the rest of the populace, they are still a...

Lol well thank you. I noticed you didn't mention E so I will explain my reasoning there a little further. (I kind of glossed over it.) E is afraid to mess up. This means that while they likely feel like some of what A has done is their fault, E is more hyper-aware of consequences for messing...

Honestly my name is very common. Which is nice in certain circumstances. What I don't like about my name is that it is a 'comic relief' name. Meaning in a lot of media, a guy with this name is often looked down on or made fun of. The only time it's respected in media is when it's paired with a...

A and F's relationship should be clarified further. (I am going to label A as him and F as her for ease of writing. But gender doesn't matter.) I am assuming F finds A attractive, simply because those who cannot read emotion, often appear confident, (because they act based on their own reasoning...

Envy is my sin.

I like almost anything instrumental. But lately I write to 'music box' type songs.

Depends highly on what is present in the letter to the royals. That is your most important diplomatic piece of power. If you have a pen and a cane, you could try to somehow pen something in that letter to give you advantage (or let you sleep) but that depends highly on a number of different...

This is exactly what happened! ?

Once a friend and I decided to swordfight with metal pipes. (dumb I know.) At first it was friendly, but I kept rapping the pipe across the same two knuckles of my friend's hand on accident. Then he got angry and serious thinking I did it intentionally. He came after me swinging at full...

I'm okay with a cliche as long as it's done with a purpose. There is nothing new under the Sun, you are going to run into similar story devices over and over again... I think this is fine as long as the decisions you make serve the story you want to tell. Usually with the cliches you get tired...

Very informative. Thank you. It makes perfect sense to me.

In a relationship it largely depends on the personal situation of the family. Ideally it's 50/50, but in reality some days it's 60/40 or 70/30, and there really are no set rules. Life is just hard, and you have to always adjust your relationships to make it work. I do believe it is important for...

It sounds as if you might be having the same kind of issue I once did, if I am reading between the lines correctly. I am a poet by nature; I have been writing them all my life. When I attended college I had a professor who had very strong ideas about how to write poetry "correctly." Taking those...

Share an unconventional use you would have if you were suddenly obtained a common super power. For example, I have never really wanted to fly, however I thought if I were ever to obtain the superpower, I would have a use for it. I would dress as various scary monsters, then late at night, I...

My method is to compartmentalize. It's not the same as suppression. It's a conscious decision to acknowledge your anger then put it away in the moment you are angry, to review at a later time when you are out of the situation. In the moment I am angry, I fully feel my anger, visualize it in it's...

Battle of the systems for supremacy? MC's enslaved by various systems must find a way to remove them? As far as types of MC's you have the rogue, fighter, mage archetypes or some mix of all of them. You have your trash skill/level MC, lazy MC, harem king mc, animal/object/monster mc... Too many...

I personally like the selfless archetype as long as the author understands that selfless does not equate to stupidity. Someone trying to impose their idealistic views on to the world is something people do. It's the changes that can happen when such ideals are met with conflict that make a story...

The way I see it, if you listen to the crowds they will always keep you down. I do not write for other people; I write for myself. If they don't like it, that's their business. But in my opinion, it's a good idea to keep a clear line between yourself and the random commenters in your audience...

Don't forget that there is also a theory with alcohol and writing being intertwined, which is a depressant. As for me, I have clinical depression. Specifically major depressive disorder. When it's not keeping me from writing at all, or indeed having any interest in anything, I will admit I tend...
