    How Do ‘Gardeners’ Complete It?

    There is no wrong way of doing art. You are doing fine~ For me, I can't be an Architect at all, it just feels restrictive and I'm bad at planning. I might have a central road map that I planned out for an arc, and an end goal, but nothing more. I just let the story grow as it progresses. As for...

    I grew up on her back, and she was my childhood. She was scrapped not long after I turned twelve, her old age has caught up to her. It was only in this dreamscape that I could return to her comfort, and take a stroll down the memory lanes. Last night was one of the few goodnight in months, and...

    The watch told me it was 2:27 AM. The hazy light of the streetlights barely illuminated the lonely road that stretches for, seemingly, eternity. It was a familiar stretch of road that was ingrained in my childhood. I twisted the throttle, and the old lady beneath coughed to life. She was my...

    What's the biggest compliment you received from people

    One of my female friends told me about a month or so ago, "You are the only guys I know that can dress up really fucking well. Also, what kinda hair product do you use?" A few others also asked me how to shop for clothes, which I took as an absolute compliment

    Curse of being a non native English speaker

    And then there is that damn limbo, where you know what something means, but for the love of eighteen layers of hells and heavens combine, you cannot recall what the word is in any of the languages, and you end up stumbling like a fool. "I swear! I know what it is, I just can't remember!" "Oh...

    Harmless/Beneficial Curses

    The Curse of Slightly Enlarged Nose. Your nose will become just slightly larger than your eyes can no longer ignore. The Curse of Impotent. You will become impotent and infertile.

    My stomach protested, demanding its fill. There is nothing I can do, but watch as the garlic crackled and the oil bubbles, tortured but its divine fragrance.

    It's 1:35 AM. The oil is bubbling away nicely, and the smell of crackling garlic is tantalizing. The garlic confit only has 9 minutes on the clock. There is an old, staled loaf of half-eaten bread. The fridge is empty, and the bag of shredded Parmesan is empty. The Cheese Goblin has gotten to it...

    What should i do?

    This...is a hard question, one that I am still looking for an answer myself. One way I have been trying is just putting more personality into the narrator in your writing. Give a slight bias, inner thoughts, etc. I just read the first 3 chapters of your story, but I noticed that there was a lot...

    Personally, I would, even if the whole thing isn't sexual, just to be safe. If it is just Nudity, then I would give the reader a head-up at the beginning, something along the lines of "This chapter contains non-sexual depictions of nudity" or something like that (editing Cactus here, how in the...

    Use R-18 instead, and do a switcheroo with gore and blood and cartel-execution-liveleak type of R-18 instead!

    What should i do?

    It is fine. Not the worst I've seen, but also, in my opinion, they are too dry, and lack a charming personality, especially as they are told from 1st POV, and too much cursing for my liking. If you are trying to make your MC childish, then you have succeeded. As for the info dump, it is not...
