Yet it has EM-'s that should have been sign number 1 You serious write with em dashes? No human does that... you have to hit alt and four numbers on your keyboard to even make one.

AI prompters are the bane of the rest of us writers' existence. It makes me a little sad when I hear people say they don't mind if something is written by AI. We spend many hours crafting a chapter, while the prompters are just tossing an idea into <Insert Garbage AI Here> and, with minimal...

Just a little life advice from the mid 2000s Invest in real estate, there's no such thing as a permanent record, always eat breakfast, all the girls on the internet are actually dudes, and you should never, ever buy the extended warranty on anything. Ever. Oh also, chicks like it when you tell...

Also, this is why ducks and geese are true manifestations of evil!

Fine! Just know, the difference in my writing from the prologue to Ch +100 has improved greatly... I didn't use Grammarly for the first 60-70 chapters to help clean things up a bit....probably should start slowly going through them and cleaning things up.

Jesus, this is a no holds bar kinda thread isn't it... *Hides own work somewhere safe*

I think @Hans.Trondheim had a decent explanation kicking around somewhere on the forum if you needed to see an example. Or look up 'the hero's journey' to see a tried and true method of crafting a story. What Is the Hero’s Journey? Steps, Archetype & 12 Stages Explained
