Reality is easier to imagine. Hard to write what you don’t understand. If I’m going to add fantastical elements it will be on top of something familiar.

I finally have an idea of what my first arc is going to be about. Having the main duo, Jordan Fisher and Lyla Walker, have to stop ‘Bad Endings’ that happen under specific conditions. One of them being the third member of the five-man band. They have to stop this future companion, Fritz Lazrik...

This is just me blogging about my progress on my work. It’s at the planning stage. There are those who find being an Architect a chore but for me it helps with my bad memory. Sometimes I give them a name and that becomes ‘them’. Anyone named ‘Alan Smith’ will always be born with Natural...

I don’t really have any problems but just wanted to make a blog post on the progress I was making on the story I’m planning. I found that I’m more committed when my plan is completed with no flaws from beginning to end. I have a similar level of planning made for my other works I’m actually set...

Would it though? Solo Levelling dwelled on abilities early on and their mechanics. Even if you’re using game logic, there are fun that can come from dwelling on your abilities instead of immediately moving on the moment they throw out the skill name. There was a self-destructive Skill called...

My bad forgot they also do that. Then again the Sin Archbishops are the only ones willing to do that. Subaru dies a bunch before the assassin introduces herself… to Reindhart.

I’ll write a post when I’m done planning my story. Try… The One Being Protected [Magical Girl Urban Fantasy] as it’s my most recent work I’m satisfied with. Only on haitus until the prequel is finished.

Sometimes, you see someone take inspiration from a game and create a captivating stories… or you get novels like “The Support Ate It All”. A very game-like novel in the worst way possible. It is fantasy without any of the fantastical elements. The main character gains the power to use Mana and...

I don’t mean specifically in The Novel’s Extra storyline. It’s more that I hate how people forget how to write villains when they use the Novel Extra trope. Mostly because they’re disconnecting themselves from the more dangerous aspects villains can bring them. You don’t see villains giving...

I usually have a main antagonist working with a more natural disaster in my works. An example is having Villain A constantly a threat to the main characters but unbeatable, but when Villain B is introduced someone either dies or gets injured. Then once they stop having to run from Villain A and...

I’m starting to understand what you mean. Did something similar in The One Being Protected [Magical Girl Urban Fantasy] where the main character has a ‘deep friendship’ that is kinda romantic in a way. They like each other a lot and want to see each other happy platonically. It’s one of the...

I realised I got a weird view on romance. Most tropes I see of it don't resonate with me because life has taught me self-sufficiency. Almost none of the times reaching out for someone ever had a positive impact on my life. Instead actively turning it worse due to outside interference. Trust is...

definitely.

I was trying to write a mature story as the first in a trilogy but my motivation keeps on fluctuating because I keep losing respect for my own story. The biases instilled in me makes me unable to respect my own characters and gradually makes me sick of writing about them. I know that doesn’t...

I have an aunt who wrote my first fantasy story and asks if I still write. The problem is I write smutty stuff now so I told her ‘No…’.

Nah, so long as you understand your characters than what they do in those time loops can be whatever you want. Was writing a story about a time looper and one of the loops he stayed away from his friend to let events play out without him. Since he wasn’t there, everything was different because...

That’s a good one.

The example I thought of for this is Time Loop stories. Each individual loop can be contained and have meaning. Serving as building blocks towards the ending. Some loops are thrown away meaninglessly while others are absolutely important. Meaningful to the MC living in it. What other stories...

Got a job and now my whole schedule has changed. Will have to post once a week until further notice.

Helps with my indecision and visualisation. I tend to plan first then write.
