If you want to make releasing fiction in the new year a 'mental resolution' to turn the page on a new story, then it will have profound meaning for you as an author and for the readers who discover your work. However, if you're releasing fiction in the new year simply to chase engagement, then...

No, word count or even grammar errors are never my excuse.

Appropriate genre and sub-genre preferences; An original and engaging story premise; Character and world development; Consistent fulfillment of narrative promises according to the story premise; An antagonist who is iconic, human and challenges the way we think about dealing with real-world...

Your Lie in April You know ... the best story is what makes you remember it for years. This anime does it in a bittersweet way.

Plot armor acts as a narrative shield that allows the character to continue progressing in the story, even if the situation illogically prevents his/her survival. Looking for a logical plot armor is like justifying a wrong answer, like saying 1+1=3 is correct, is it possible?

Tech companies are overly reliant on internet infrastructure companies like Cloudflare and Amazon. When their services go down, millions of websites go down, and billions of transactions can be delayed (I can't estimate the millions of dollars lost from these outages).

Cloudflare error, sites are showing a 500 error, including SH, RR, and millions of others. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/nov/18/cloudflare-outage-causes-error-messages-across-the-internet

One of my novels has a FMC with 3 identities, 2 bodies, 1 soul. This means I have to build 3 personalities at once with 3 POVs complete with their worldbuilding (each character/personality has a historical setting). However, it must be tied in 1 appropriate context (they both have to understand...

It might be more accurate to say that the protagonist can't die (if MC does, the story ends); however, the protagonist can lose, be injured, beaten, destroyed, or even maimed. This kind of human stake... makes the fight more unpredictable (except for the author, of course).

The most difficult creative block, at least that's what I felt. I'd written over 100K words in a few months... and when my chapters reached the darkest chapters about human history, I felt traumatized, nauseous, and even depressed. The solution? Get enough rest, do outdoor activities, and...

Terrifying horror often comes not from ghosts, but from the deepest wounds of humanity that we may have overlooked.

Honestly, the premise of the story makes my head spin. I don't know where the story is going? This is purely my opinion, others may like it, but sorry it's not me.

All of the above are elements of combat, but you're forgetting one fundamental aspect: symbolism. Symbolism is the use of symbols or emblems to represent ideas, concepts, or meanings in fiction. Combat isn't just a physical duel, but a clash of values, beliefs, philosophies, and ideologies...

I don't want to argue with you. Everyone has their own preferences. You can write whatever you like. However, this thread is clearly about a wholesome family, with the mother and children as the central narrative. You can create another thread if you want to discuss other things. Regards. Read...
