I'm gonna support this that most writers go for escapism here, but there are a handful... maybe a handful that go for genuine realism in relationships. Not saying they aren't organic, but a lot of times those relationships are not straightforward, if a bit bumpy, as portrayed. Still, it can be...

Yeah, but if you don't want to write that, what's motivating you?

Glad I ain't sitting next to that fella. :sweating_profusely:

I'd give you a laughing reaction, like I'd be giving the rest of the folks here a reaction, if I wasn't capped out... again. See? But your opinion there... that's like the equivalent of someone storming into a painting critique and saying, "I hate blue paint, it's overused." Yeah, technically...

You know what? I'm starting to feel like my answer is the only one in this thread that actually talks about craft. Like, no hard feelings at all, quite a few of you are fun to be around, and I mean it, but so far a lot of you are circling the same safe orbit with stuff like being subtle, don't...

I seriously have to wonder if this thread is at all related to one of Scribblehub's factions, Cat Corps.

Hey, as long as you enjoyed those 100 rides, that's cool man. :blobthumbsup:

Absolutely. It sometimes takes me days or weeks later to reread my material and realize my mistake. And that's only because I may have forgotten the whole framing of the novel I wrote, so I'll get lost in some of those points and be capable of fixing it. This is why some authors sit on their...

Honestly, that's not a bad idea.

Maybe eye movement, less so in posturing. But the eyes or perspective gives the readers hints of the character's interests. Posturing would only apply if they are a bit more bold and want to be closer to someone because, well, that's how attraction may work. Even if they are introverted, if they...
