Um... I'd already posted that tutorial Here: [Tutorial] Fixing WRITER'S BLOCK So I had to switch that post out for a different one: [Tutorial] BURNOUT ~ NOT just for the Big Dogs! No one noticed, right?

Oops -- I posted that tutorial already, so I had to switch it for a different one. No one noticed, right? [Tutorial] Fixing WRITER'S BLOCK

Burnout can happen to ANYONE suffering from a severe drain on their Imagination. Mid-list eBook authors and web-novelists can snap just as easily as a top-selling print book author. I'm watching it happen to a stack of eBook authors attempting to juggle a full-time job, a full-time family, and...

World-building is such a huge and complicated topic, I refer to the professionals for that. Specifically: Patrica C. Wrede's Worldbuilder https://pcwrede.com/pcw-wp/fantasy-worldbuilding-questions/

The most common way for writers to keep track of what's going on in a story is the tried and true Outline. I keep my outlines on a separate document in a folder specifically for that story, along with character lists, and base timeline. When I want to keep track of a longer work, or a series. I...

If this is what you are looking for? Get yourself some Beta-Readers, and Ask Them point-blank --with a List-- what you want them to check for improvements. Be Specific. Reference: Editing [Tutorial] Test Your Story's Popularity Potential -- Beta-Readers

I'm glad I could help~! Revised: Okay, the only real problem you have here is that you switched the Point of View (POV) from the main character to a minor character right smack dab in the middle of the scene. (Why did you even give that guy a name?!) A Scene should be shown from only...

-- You're missing Dialogue: what the characters are saying to each other, AND what the Point-of-View (POV) character is Thinking about what's happening. -- You're missing Emotions; how the POV character Feels about what they are experiencing -- Most importantly, you're missing Descriptions...

These are my thoughts: [Tutorial] How to Make THE END <-- Link! ☕

...writing the stories I wanted to read, but couldn't find... It was for me! ☕ Ah, my bad. I missed those. They must have been in the YA section. -- It's so nice to meet another library addict. ☕

There are "artistic nudes" on DeviantArt, and that's all there is for Adult Content. Adult stories with 18+ content is ganked off the site within minutes, so is any image with people engaging in any form of 18+ activities. I go elsewhere to post my adult images.

Excellent! -- Believe it or not, writing the stories I wanted to read, but couldn't find was how I gathered a very large reading audience -- then was discovered by two publishers. Thank you for your support, and I'm glad I could help. ☕

ROFLMAO! -- Erotic Romance readers may be "a tiny fraction of the total reader base," on This site, but that's just this site alone. My readers have been paying my rent since 1996! My fans may be a little on the rabid side... -- They tend to eat my trolls, and my plagiarists. My books are...

Like that's humanly possible? -- No matter what you do, or don't do, or say, or don't say, someone will be upset about it. ☕ Thank you. Just because the site's reading audience currently tends to be young (YA), does not mean that the site's reading audience will remain that way. At the...

That's dangerous talk right there. Those brats are Trolls. The more you pay attention to them, the worse they get. Not only to the author they're pestering, but to everyone else on that author's comment list. Sure, if you don't mind writing for Children. I prefer writing for Adults, myself...

Are you sure those were Adults? ☕ I started out as a library addict. By the time I got to high school, YA books bored me. I was already reading Heinlein, Stephen King, Michael Moorcock, and Ray Bradbury from the library, but I was buying Anne McCaffery, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Dianna Wynn...

Well, kids don't generally buy books. Their parents do because kids normally don't have any income. Most kids that become die-hard readers start out as library addicts. It's only during high school --and their first job-- that they start buying their own books. That's after scraping the...

Sure, if you're not writing for Adults. It's perfectly fine in a kid's book. If the comment: "Wow, that's interesting. Why is that there?" is a line from a distractable MC is uninterested in the conversation they should be participating in, or if they are dissociating from stress -- then it's...

Google is your friend. Try asking ChatGPT. My readers would definitely argue that point. While I was writing my Sci-Fi series they were giving me lectures on space travel and quantum physics. Not a Joke! Then again, I'm coming from a completely different demographic. I'm an Erotic Romance...

Yes we can. It's a problem a lot of people don't even know is happening -- until it happens to them. If they're confrontational -- TROLL. Don't Answer!
