    Writing How to stop writing?

    In only a few days you can write 13.5k words relevent to your story and you call that a problem? It took me about 6 months to get that many words down ;-;

    Should one follow or defy trends?

    Following trends is fine, as long as you understand why a trend works in the first place, and have enough braincells and enthusiam to actually make something semi-original with it. But I think if someones tries a "popular gimmic" because they think its going to be easy... its honestly entirely...

    Trolley problem. Just that.

    We grow older and we grow wiser.

    Your characters development progressions?

    Man, am I the only one who likes static characters? I'll advocate some thought for static characters: 1. Old characters should be (probably) more static than younger characters. They've lived for 60 years, are they really going to change by a noticable amount in 2 more years of experience...

    Writing How to time skip?

    If you are making a (large) timeskip, my only real suggestion is make it clear how long the timeskip is, and consider if a line break is appropriate if its in the middle of a chapter.

    What makes a character evil and when is that evil redeemable?

    I know the good samaritan story well enough to know that it doesn't contradict what I said at all. I don't know why you would think it does contradict what I said.

    Do people think that books written in Pulp Speed are cheap?

    As blacknight says, another word for it might be shallow. If you write so fast, you have less time time to think about the overall plot and themes and stuff you want to put in. So you either end up with a stereotypical story which required no original thought of your own to make, or your story...

    Do people think that books written in Pulp Speed are cheap?

    On my best writing day ever, I probably managed only 700 words. I cannot imagine what writing 7000 words per day would look like. However, I guess I would expect it to be cheap?

    What makes a character evil and when is that evil redeemable?

    Morality and redemption are based solely on the character of God.

    Which pov is better first person pov or Third person Pov

    The exact same way you'd prevent yourself doing something similar in third person: John ran to the door. He opened the door. He saw the mailman. He took the letter from the mailman. He closed the door. He went to kitchen. He opened the letter. He read the letter. He thought about content of the...

    Writing Onomatopeia usage

    I would suggest that there is not problem using it, so long as you use it well. Second, you don't need to use it "outside" of your sentence structure. "...thunderous booms echoed around the..." is onomatopeia. Anytime you use "boom", "clang", even "rattle"- thats always onomatopeia.

    Is not doing a bad thing = doing a good thing

    After some thought, my answer is actually "yes". My reasoning is that i do not believe that good and bad are forms of currency; that doing one nets you "positive karma points" and doing the other nets you "negative karma points". If such were true, then actions could be mid. Rather, much like...

    Fallen Angel Opposite

    The problem with basing this on the bible is that the bible was written for humans to read- whether you believe it to be accurate or not. As such, the Bible barely touches angelic themes, such as the fall of satan, what a demon is, what a fallen angel is, what witchcraft is, etc. It just takes...

    You just caused a death. How do you feel?

    If I thought the comment I made was accurate and honest, I don't think I would feel that bad. It's tragic, sure, but that's it. If the comment I made was innaccurate and distasteful, then I would definitely feel bad.

    List your random skills: just curious if I am as random as I think.

    If "random" means non-academic, or similar, that would be 3D modelling on blender, and some coding. (technically, coding is academic, but I'm self taught so I'ma count it as that.) And climbing trees and playing computer games.

    Fixing Other People's Work (imma do it)

    slightly off-topic, but somewhat relevant comment to this: One thing that irks me is how nobody gets how OP support is. Both in novels and the authors. I don't like worldbuilding where everyone is an idiot that thinks support is useless, since anyone with two brain cells could figure out the...

    What is the appeal of vampires?

    They are fantasy creatures that are often depicted as universally evil. I merely state that they work better under the depiction that they are universally evil. If you wanted to make them not necessarily evil, which you definely could, you would need to properly plan that out, and failing to do...

    Is Piracy Wrong?

    Indeed! Personally, I think its better to view piracy as a form of forgery rather than theft.
