    Tell me something I didn't know

    Actually, no. Most species of adult Dragonflies can live to 1-2 weeks, with some species 6-8 weeks/ The low life expectancy comes from predation, accidents, and other causes. It is the mayflies that have a shorter lifespan, averaging 1-2 days, as they lack a mouth in their adult stay. The female...

    Tell me something I didn't know

    Aye, Blacksmith works with hot metal, while Whitesmith works with cold metal. Blacksmiths work with the forge using black coal to make black iron (or steel/tempered iron).

    Tell me something I didn't know

    Earl(British Isle) and Count(Continental Europe) are equivalent ranks of the nobility. Earl originated from the word Jarl of the Viking's Nordic court culture. Interestingly, a female Jarl is also called a Jarl, thus there is no feminine form for the title Earl. Count and Countess, on the other...

    Physical Copy or Digital Copy?

    Both are good. A physical book is a luxury treat. How can you resist the smell of a book? But I have to admit that I have consumed far more in digital medium due to its shear conveniences and accessibility

    Two characters are going on a date to k-pop concert.

    just treat it like other stuff they do then. What couples usually do on a date? even if the concert is not important to the story, is it important to at least one character? If so, how? Just don't be too hyper-focus on the fact that it is a concert. the couple just happened to be there.

    Writing Different voices for different characters

    Not all, but most of us do. The urban population, not so much, unless you are in the more historic part of it, but ppl do say y'all and howdy in daily conversation and all. I don't have much of an accent due to me not originating here, but I do absolutely say y'all all the damn time. Howdy, not...

    Writing Different voices for different characters

    Oh, yes. If it is just a seldom-seen character, I don't mind, it makes them a little more memorable, but don't have that all over the story. It is not very easy on my ESL skills. It is hard to make a good dialogue sound natural and easily distinguishable. If you ever see a transcript, you know...

    Does protagonist of a combat story need to be the best at everything?

    Protag that is best at everything is not something I am willing to read unless held at gunpoint. They can be good and competent at most stuff, sure cus they are the character that is worth telling a story about, but making them best at everything all at once just make the world revolve around...

    Attention to Detail

    I like details more than the normal reader, but it matters where, and how the details fit in the narrative, more so than how many details there are. Do I need a play-by-play commentary and a movie breakdown of each action? Hell no. What I like is the hidden details, the backstage to the show...

    What's your favorite thing about writing?

    I suppose just to keep track of all my daydreaming plots and scenario coherence initially. Then, it became an outlet for my pent-up creativity from a boring technical writing day job. Ever sat down a read a 20-page-long academic report? Yea, that. Not very fun to write, and quite frustrating...

    Writing [Towerclimbing Story] The towers themselves.

    Well, if you defined that each country is getting a tower each, then why not give NK and SK one each? Geographically and Politically, they are separated bodies of government, right? Or is it one tower per ethnicity? Or culture? If this is the case, then how would you approach Russia, China, or...
