I just googled up synonyms of pretty, here's a list: attractive, lovely, good-looking, nice-looking, fetching, prepossessing (I don't think I've ever seen this word used though), appealing, charming, delightful, nice, engaging, pleasing, darling. Looking up beautiful, other words I can add onto...

This is an interesting idea. I don't quite have the same opinion as "two generic, two good and one bloated". I actually feel like two are "bloated", another is "not quite there yet", and the other is "passable", ignoring the one which doesn't yet have a custom cover. So I'll write my thoughts on...

Ha. You thought you could slow me down by shooting my quazar engine with a hyperspace warp missile? Pathetic. What you hit was merely my afterimage...

My religion tells me to turn the other cheek, so I guess I have no choice but to take all their money...

I would suggest making a single paragraph describing what it does after using the term(s). You only need to mention the bare minimum immediately, and any lore/flavor/technical aspects you want to add can be done in later chapters when its convenient to- usually just before it actually becomes...

Freshly baked

Coffee smells bad. Coffee tastes bad. So I'm on side Tea.

I concede that it would technically be possible to write an objectively good harem story. A writer could come up with a story that utilises harems in an insightful and meaningful way, rather than just as some form of popularity fan-service coupled with being an easy (and poor) way to develop...

Aren't you assuming that heroism isn't part of factual reality? I'm stating heroism is objective. That means I believe it exists outside mere human suggestion, obviously. We observe heroism in real life; acts of dedication and acts of self-sacrifice. The main diifference between the real world...

I'm not sure I understand the argument here. If I say that gravity behaves in some way and someone else disagrees with me, does that make gravity subjective because we need to make a fundamentally arbitary decision on how gravity behaves? edit: some people disagree with the decision that the...

To explain my view on subjective things: I would agree that everyone sees things through a subjective lens- namely, themself- which I'm assuming you would agree with. As such, I believe subjective things exist. for example, human observations are subjective. however, humans observe objective...

Since I, too, hate this idea that objectivism doesn't exist, I shall say my bit. The problem with relativism isn't so much the existence of relativism, but the denial of the existence of objectivisim. Take the three following quotations, which gives a relatively good example of what I mean...

The first thing to do would be to ask yourself what genre this is. An action is going to play very different compared to a comedy or a romance here. Secondly, pose a problem to the protagonist in which you identify a potential solution thats fits the genre. Whats important here is that, as well...

This is the only rule I disagree with here. It's like saying we should teach children how to deal drugs, murder, and evade police effectively. I'd really rather that not be taught to a bunch of teenagers.

Lets perform a little thought experiment about it here. Imagine if you had a conversation with me, then I chose to make up my own interpretation of everything you said. Is that sensible? I then tell other people that you told me [insert my own interpretation of your words here] that happens to...

I think one of the reasons is because we are used to films/cartoons/anime but writing a novel is very different from directing these. Fims/cartoons/anime relay information in the form of pictures and sound, so battle scenes in these tend to be very dynamic and eye-catching. However, novels don't...

I have an unpublished chapter in which I jot down small things that I'm likely to forget in the future, and also a very brief outline (half a sentence per two chapters or so) of what I actually need to include in the story before hitting the next "big thing", like introducing certain characters...

Eating. I'm looking forward to the banquet. I would say other things as well but other people have already said them.

This is genius. I gotta jot this idea down somewhere.

Once I tried starting to write a new book. Then I realised I had to come up with more character names and I just decided "nah".
