    I can't do writing prompts, is that a sign of a bad author

    No I agree, I'm exactly the same way. I'd say don't worry about it. Just find one that works for you, and if it doesn't, that's OK too. My problem with prompts, as of one of my stories, is I tend to takes prompts to literally: when they say a Christmas Themed Science Fiction story, I often...

    By "random novel generator" what would this entail specifically? With poetry generators nothing new is being created, so much as it's taking in a bunch of fed data, usually from stories / poems you've already written, and simply rearranging them line by line. And that excludes editing the...

    Writing How to inform readers of worldbuilding without being infodumpy

    Ah got there before I did, thanks. Yea the only reason I did a glossary, and only on the version of my website, is I have specific terms unique to that specific setting that aren't relevant to the rest of my stories. That seems to happen whenever you expand a short story into a novel, and the...

    Is there a Cyborg genre on here?

    A couple of my novellas are actually Cyborg / Android novellas. There is of course a technical difference between the two, although some works tend to blur the line between Cyborgs and Androids.

    Incorporating a conlang into a work,

    I'd say it depends honestly, for anyone who hasn't read it A Clockwork Orange comes to mind with Nadsat. Depending how whether something is entirely in the language ( think the status of English before it became, well English ) or if it's just a few words, you could maybe do a small dictionary...

    Incorporating a conlang into a work,

    Ah basically it's a neo-colonial society where it has recently been taken over by both Japanese and French forces, leading to a kind of fused language where it's essentially French, but with a lot of Japanese words. So for example: Mon nam wa Sarah, means something different from Mon nam es...

    Incorporating a conlang into a work,

    I'm not really intending it as a lost language.:p It's the current language people speak. I guess what I'm really asking is how do I handle as a language that's not suppose to be a dead language. I guess I didn't communicate that.

    Incorporating a conlang into a work,

    Does anyone else do this sort of thing in their writing? I'm currently developing a Romance language conlang that's a fusion of Japanese and French. There is a specific reasons the constructed language looks as it does. Although I never used it in story except in a short story here and there. (...

    So, how do you end up as an artist?

    Well I liked graphic novels prior to writing fiction, and I had originally mostly illustrated instead of wrote, however eventually I began to neglect my drawing and focus exclusively on writing. So now I'm mostly making up for lost time, and brushing up on drawing with charcoal, blue...

    What languages can you speak?

    English, some French, learning Japanese. Working on a Japanese-French creole language as well called Hafestra. At the current stage, it's more like a Romance language in its own right.

    Question: What if it's an interconnected novel of several novellas, and each arc is a sequel or prequel within its own continuity? Besides, for my next works, I don't imagine myself writing to many sequels. I'm a stand alone book person.

    Online Resources For New (and Experienced) Authors

    This might sound strange but: http://www.shadowpoetry.com/ Before I wrote fiction, I was actually a poet. I will also echo writing excuses.

    The reason/or inspration behind one of your proudest works?

    OK truth time I guess, I suppose my oldest work is a loose metaphor for my experience as an autistic and trans person, with heaping loads of post traumatic stress disorder thrown into the mix. I needed an outlet at the time, as I'm still waiting till I actually go through that process. It might...

    Continuing another author's novel.

    I already have plans for who I want continuing my work, and they would get something like this: https://questioncopyright.org/creator_endorsed_mark on their book cover. Usually my children, not just some random person online.
