    Writing Help Regarding Trauma

    I had no plans whatsoever to have DID anywhere near my story. That's another rabbit hole I'm not planning to even touch anytime soon.

    Writing Help Regarding Trauma

    Glorious. You're like my favorite cookies raining down from heaven. Thanks for listing down all those things I can think about to help me contemplate about said trauma(s). I'm not planning to give her a lot. Just a few that could help reflect what she went through. My problem was that I might...

    Writing Help Regarding Trauma

    I'm gonna have a try at this again. I'm tactile by nature so maybe I need to physically see my thoughts written out on paper for it to make sense.

    Writing Help Regarding Trauma

    A character of mine gets kidnapped, abused (not sexually), and drugged. The problem is, I don't know quite how to go about giving her traumas after getting rescued from something like that. I've been thinking of giving her certain fears but it's not working well. Doesn't seem very realistic or...

    How long should chapters be?

    Depends on how long you need it to be. Whatever it is that needs to happen in a chapter, let it happen. It would be ideal to not have it less than 1k words though. Unless it's called for. I lot can happen in 500 words.

    Writing Is this alright?

    The dialogue makes it look long but I checked and you're not even passing 200 in word count which is still good. It does tell the story of what a reader should expect. But, personally, as a passerby, I'd leave seeing the dialogue set up. I've seen a lot of that from CN novels and it puts me off...

    The YA epidemic...

    What I find interesting is it's quite a calm discussion all things considering. Not vitriolic at all. So far anyway haha

    Writing What makes a character unlikable ? ( An alternative to Yorth's thread)

    Some writers (possibly me too) would want their characters not to be incompetent and be tempted to give them more skills than would make sense. I recall reading a story where the MC was an amnesiac woman who had, for some reason, intimate knowledge of guns and ammunition. Also, MC was incredibly...

    The YA epidemic...

    Sounds like Wattpad all over again. It would be great to filter out stories like that from ever showing up here. What I mean especially is those fanfic stories about famous people. Frankly, it's disgusting. I'm sorry to be blunt but it's something that I just can't respect AT ALL. I hope it...

    Writing Animals in Fantasy

    Would it be better to name animals differently or can there still be cats, lions, dogs, wolves, etc? Or, am I being too strict on myself?

    Story feedback : Eadem historia futura

    I would suggest at least writing 5 chapters - 6 since you have a prologue out - before asking for feedback. You won't get proper feedback if you just have a very short nonsensical prologue out. Don't get me wrong, it's well-written enough but there's nothing there. There's no 'story' to feedback on.
