    Favorite kinds of scenes to write? Vs. the ones you hate?

    Haha I hate exposition, too. I want to learn to like making fight scenes since I'll be using them a lot in my current story I'm writing.

    How many of you actually manually use em-dashes?

    I use them a lot. But not during my very first drafts just cuz I'm just staying to get the bare necessities in first. Then I add them later. I like using them because I have a tendency to add things mid sentence. Especially in my stories more rich in humor. To me they seem less formal than a...

    How do you write fighting scenes?

    I'm not expert on fight scenes, but from what I can see you need to expand on the emotional side of the fight. Like what is either the protagonist or the antagonist thinking. Generally the one doing the most thinking is usually the one struggling more with the fight. (Unless you're Sherlock...

    One sentence ghost stories.

    "If you can see them, you're dead; you can't run fast enough, can't fight hard enough, and they've been hunting your scent for miles." --- literally just me talking about polar bears. ?

    What are your favorite powers or abilities you came up with?

    Idk if it counts recently in my LitRPG, my main character gained a title called "King of Catchphrases" from his system it increases the probability of a certain accomplishing actions the MC is trying to to do by a certain percentage if he says a cringy or dramatic dialogue while doing it. He...

    Favorite kinds of scenes to write? Vs. the ones you hate?

    I love reading fluff, but I'm not sure I'm too good at writing it. And haha plot twists give me life when I write them. But I get why they might not be enjoyable for others. I feel like I'm neither bad at romance or good ? but most of my stories with romance is usually a side plot on the main...

    Writing Question - How do you keep track?

    I usually keep a decently detailed outline for my stories. I have tons of outlines and saved plot points in my phone.

    Favorite kinds of scenes to write? Vs. the ones you hate?

    I mean, I can agree with smut. While I read it on rare occasions, I don't care to write it myself. Most love related scenes I've written are pretty innocent. Even if it's mention that two characters had sex I never write the actual scene. It's usually just implied ? That's nice, Id like to get...

    Favorite kinds of scenes to write? Vs. the ones you hate?

    Oooh! Like contradictive characters? Or like (forgive for the lame example) "I hate you!" But they actually love you sort of deal? Or am I misunderstanding? And lol I'm pretty weak when it comes to writing fights, until my most recent one, I have really done them before. So, short or long, I'm...

    Favorite kinds of scenes to write? Vs. the ones you hate?

    I enjoy fun dialogue, too. Just struggle sometimes with making my dialogue too formal sometimes. The way I talk in real life is pretty formal (I mean the structured kind of formal, not liked the polished kind if that makes sense). Sometimes I fail to remember most other people do not talk as...

    Favorite kinds of scenes to write? Vs. the ones you hate?

    Just curious, what kinds of scenes do you enjoy writing the most, and which ones are your least favorite? Personally, my favorite scenes to write are either intense plot twists and big reveal moments or really tragic, emotionally heavy scenes. I guess I just like emotionally tense scenes in...

    Story & chapter length

    Probably around 1500 minimum- 2500 max with words on average. For length, it actually doesn't matter to me as long as the story continues to be good and that it doesn't "overstay their welcome". It you know what I mean. Like the series could have ended a long time ago but author continued to...

    So, what do you do in your free time.

    Other than reading and writing, usually I draw, watch shows or animes, play cozy/slice of life video games, or research about whatever obsession I have at the time. Maybe squeeze time in for my BF ?

    Ai checkers are dumb

    Bruh, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks they're a scam. I ran Harry Potter and other storylines through those things and they were saying it had AI generated content ?

    Is your protagonist your favorite character?

    Aww, that's an interesting thought ? Oh, wow, that actually a pretty cool method for writing, I feel like it might be kind of draining though

    Is your protagonist your favorite character?

    When you create, who are usually your favorite characters in your stories? I'm just curious because it's actually pretty rare for my main character to be my favorite. Most of the time, I end up liking side characters or antagonists more. I don't know if that's normal, or if most writers tend to...
