Thank you for the advice, I'll give it a chance as soon as I see it on sale.

You are incredibly productive! Congratulations and great work. ? You're a writing machine!

A very important person to me is given this unique and rare name in her honor, and I hope she is always well and healthy as I dream of her.

Call it Zillagod and you will have an original character. Seriously, you can draw inspiration from existing IPs and make them your own by reworking them. It's quite easy, just add your personal touch. I recommend doing it, unless you want to target specific fandoms that you are drawing...

I am glad to have been helpful. :s_wink:

I agree with Succubiome. One of the great charms of reading is the ability to imagine the characters and places in one's own head. Illustrations somewhat deny this aspect. I'm a bit conflicted about this. On one hand, I appreciate them, but on the other, I would prefer they weren't there.

I've been following this game for quite a while on Steam, would you recommend it? It intrigues me. Also, I agree with what you said in your post. You've given me a lot to think about, and I definitely need to improve as a writer. To write an interesting gunfight, one definitely needs to be...

Apart from the future tense, it seems like the style used by the narrator in Baldur's Gate 3. Actually, I'm not a fan.

You have a point. I used the wrong term. It's not boring, but static. You're right when you say that a gunfight can be made more interesting with tension, and I liked the example you gave. I believe that gunfights are less dynamic and more static. There needs to be a lot of work on tension and...

On the surface, it might seem that way, but when you try to write a gunfight, you'll realize that they are actually different and firearms impose a rigid pattern of conflict. :cool:

I don't need to prove it. That was just a summary of a gunfight. This is the reason why firearms are so rare in fantasy novels. I'm waiting for examples of fantasy novels that use guns in an interesting way. There are some, but very few.

Guns are better suited to visual media like comics, anime, or movies. They're boring to write about because they make combat repetitive. Example: Jack shoots at Tom. Tom takes cover behind a wall. Tom exposes himself and returns fire. Jack takes cover. And so on. In traditional combat...

Thank you, but it's more common than it seems, I've often seen it used on this site as well. It's more of a stylistic choice than anything else, but I like the switching effect it creates and it clearly demarcates who is the main character or the supporting character. ***** It's normal that...
