I kept lowering my standards until I could write. As a result, my style is almost entirely conversation and internal monologue, because those are what I find easiest to write.

"I'd like to buy this." "..." "Excuse me." "..." "Sir!" "Huh? What?" "I'd like to buy this." "Sure, sure." "... You're still... oh for fucks sake. I'll just ring it up myself."

I notice some rather suspicious capitalization. I have a story named Cliff Hanger already. Do I need to write a Hiatus and Foreshadowing too now?:blob_hmm: On a more on topic note: while my Cliff Hangar story is an exception, the vast majority of what I write involves some form of self-insert...

I just made that up on the spot. Best I could do with the premise.

The gentle sway of her hips caused all the men to rise to attention. When she opened her mouth, and stuck out her tongue, they stared, with bated breath. When her tongue moved as if to lick something- *thud* Dang it! The narrator fainted! How am I supposed to know what's going on now?

I do have one request: Don't have Feng Qing meet a Qing Feng. Something like that happened in a novel I read, and I quickly got very confused as to who was who. Especially since there was another person with an F and Q name, that was only different by a few letters.

I'm not a fan of writing neutral characters, but this is heavily influenced by my frustration at how often I see neutral characters presented as good guys. Wanting to protect their family and friends doesn't make a main character good. It makes them normal.

I've often felt that a lot of gender bend stories use the gender bend and character background as a way to have their cake and eat it too, through a kind of Schrodinger's main character. It's common for these kinds of stories to never properly address the change, because doing so would require...

One thing to take note of when writing a story: No matter how dumb something may seem, someone will try doing it. So relying upon things like "No one ever thought to try that before" doesn't work very well (unless there is something to restrict how many people can try in the first place). Having...

Regarding Create Water: DnD has had to nerf this spell repeatedly because of how powerful it is. Normally, it's no big deal: Until players decide they want to flood an underground dungeon with it. I'm pretty sure the ranged vomit attacks of zombies in some games would be considered...

In regards to interest fishing, I think my nonsense pile might sorta count. I've noticed some of what I put there gets a lot more views than the rest. The high popularity of one of the prologues I put there was part of what led to me eventually figuring out how to actually write the story (I...

I might. Would need to meet them and have them meet the other people they'd need to be able to get along with. I'm not the only person living on this property.

I only know about a dozen people well enough for the issue to even come up. I'm also aware that I could fall in love with more if I spent more time with them. Plus: I have no idea how I felt growing up, as it wasn't until my 20s that I learned to actually pay attention to my feelings (when...

I actually have the opposite problem: I fall in love very easily (though the strength of that can vary). As a result: I just ignore it. I focus more on other issues and haven't found anyone I think is a good match. Generally speaking, I am a burden that I would not wish to place on others, so I...

For the sake of maintaining somewhat regular updates, I've been keeping a buffer of scheduled updates. The number of updates each week depends on how quickly I've been writing. I do this in large part because sometimes I'll write 5 chapters in 4 days, and sometimes I'll go two weeks and get only...

There's a trick to foreshadowing: Leave red-herring hints all over the place, so you can use them later if you want and pretend that was the plan all along. Examples: Off-hand mentions of certain people having jobs or activities that are never explained in detail. Having characters that clearly...

While I can't provide any answers for where my inspiration comes from, I can say this: I've started many isekai stories, and only about 10% of them get past 10 chapters. For most of my stories, I find I run out of ideas after the initial premise is established. I guess I'm saying: Running out of...

The primary goal when I first came up with this name, was to have a name that would never result in "That username is already in use". In that regard, it has been a complete success (so far). Regarding my Avatar: I have begun to favor not using an avatar, as a way to minimize influences on how...

I'm in the no patreon, no main job, no income category. The virus is interfering with plans for solving the no income problem. On the plus side, I've got enough cash to last me a year or two. My main consolation is knowing other people are in worse shape, but that mostly just makes me worry...

Oof, I can't move. I can't really see anything either. Feels like something heavy is on top of me. Also feels like... I'm deflating? That doesn't make any sense. How badly did that car accident hurt me? Oh! I hear someone! They got the door open! They are removing that heavy object! ... that...
