    Writing in First Person Before Switching to Third

    If a writer goes from limited to omni within the same scene/paragraph then that means they were technically writing in omni all along and not limited. Limited can't offer you insight into the thoughts of other characters or 'outside' info. So, if they do what you mentioned, it means they should...

    World building novels...

    *tentatively points at oneself* https://www.scribblehub.com/series/65876/hearts-of-rust-bl/ It's BL though so that might not be your cup of tea. There is no romantic or sexual content yet. At this point, it's mostly plot, character introduction and settings. The story takes place in a fictional...

    Your take on a wimpy MC

    As a fellow writer, I understand what you're going for. You want a narrative that heavily focuses on character-growth .That's a great thing. As a reader however, I need to like your MC enough from the very first few chapters to care about their 'character-development journey'. You have to keep...

    Percentage of depression within writers

    The one clinically depressed person I know is my brother-in-law's friend. He is a lawyer. Depression is not unique to creative people, meaning artists. It's just that the media has portrayed as so for many years.

    Your take on a wimpy MC

    I'm guilty of dropping stories where I don't like the MC. As a reader, I need a reason to care about the MC and what happens to them, even if I dislike them at first. You have to give them at least one redeemable trait or a worthwhile motive, otherwise readers won't bother to read the rest of...

    So You Have Powers Now Huh?

    Teleportation. That would be the most convenient superpower to have. Won't have to pay for public transport, no need for car or gas. It's awesome.

    who likes bisexual protagonists?

    I just wanted to add one thing, having a bisexual protagonist doesn't necessitate a love triangle or a polyarmorous relationship. You can have your bi protagonist fall in love with the same gender or the opposite gender, it doesn't always have to be both (referring to gender bender harems). In...

    So you can't published explicit writings nowadays.

    So now a writer can't even depict sexual abuse of children in their works ? Exploring such sensitive themes in one's work is NOT child porn. There is like an ocean of difference between the two.

    Writing Help Regarding Trauma

    I might sound jaded and overly pessimistic but there is no justice in this world. There weren't for these women and there weren't for the countryside girls of my country who were raped by French soldiers for years. The best that France did was an equivalent of "oops, sorry we did that." The...

    Mirroring story from own site, okay or not?

    That's what the LGBT genres are generally labelled in online stores. M/M and F/F and sometimes M/F/F or M/M/F for polyamorous relationships. Good thing I left then.

    Writing Help Regarding Trauma

    I'm sorry about your mother. May she rest in peace. I guess , in a way, trauma makes u acutely aware of our fragility as human beings. This firsthand experience was the reason why I even contemplated the ordeal of exploring a traumatized MC. If I didn't have an inkling of it felt like, I...

    Writing Help Regarding Trauma

    *hugs back* That's thing about trauma, you work around it. It doesn't disappear and no therapist worth their name should ever tell you that they can 'cure' you. The most they can do is to help you live with whatever happened to you.
