    Reincarnation: Animals!

    I'd like to be a bird. An eagle maybe, or a swallow. I've always wanted to fly. Side note there is a movie about that, it's called the Lobster! Not a light watch at all, but its a great film.

    Writing Why would you study creative writing if a good narrative doesn't guarantee popularity?

    Nothing guarantees popularity, you just try your best and hope. Writing for a small, or none at all, audience is no excuse to not do as good of a job as you can, nor is it one to not try to improve.

    Your Username & Profile...

    I was named Jazz by the first discord community I was ever active in. Then I randomly stumbled upon a band called the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, and darkjazz as a genre at large, and kind of upgraded :blob_evil_two: The profile pic is the cover art of my favourite album from that band...

    Spring Allergies draining me right now

    I have a bit of a weird allergy. Im allergic to heat. If I overheat I start itching. And not the regular itching, the "I want to pell my skin off" kind of itch. If I stay hot my skin starts breaking out in hives, as the itching gets worse. I've read I can even go into anaphylactic shock if I...

    Writing How to learn to write?

    First of all let me just say that I am not a profesional in any way, just a schmuck with a keyboard therefore take everything I say with a grain of salt. I'll give you the advice I wish I got when I first started. First of all, try not to get bogged down with things like tutorials, tools...

    Writing How to write a Character that is a poet?

    I think its very doable to simply narrate him writing or reciting poetry without actually typing that poetry out. Simple say something along the lines of "he spat straight fire, had the whole function geeking". Not in those words of course. :blob_evil_two: In the same way a musician strums...

    It's time....

    I suffer from always wanting to post special chapters on important year landmarks but never having any good ideas on what to do on them.

    Old Gods Motorcycle Club - A smutty, funny, dark and eventually heartwarming American epic. (+Giveaway announcement)

    Hello everyone. First of all forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, most of the story ads happen in the feedback section but I am not posting this asking for feedback. I simply built up the courage to finally present my story here, come of it what may. So, without further ado...

    Question for non native English Authors, What do you do in this situation?

    I know exactly how you feel, I am the same, I've spent entire evenings stuck on a single word. I always try to look it up on wordrefference if I have the word in my native language in mind, it's usually not good enough. Then I look it up on online thesauruses, as others have mentioned. I used to...

    Any of ya'll use Bluesky or X to promote your work?

    I tried both briefly, though not with my Scribblehub work. Twitter is a mess, as I'm sure you know, hardly worth using it for anything. Bluesky I don't know, maybe I did it wrong (?) but it just seems that the only people who see my posts are my friends and people I often interact with. Plus...

    Happy Year of the Horse!

    I was born on a year of the horse. I know very little about chinese culture, does that help me anywhere? :blobrofl:

    Is Posting all at once bad?

    I don't think its bad but its definitely not as efficient for discoverability. Whenever you drop a chapter it shows up in the site's "Latest Updates" section and because there is a lot of chapters being posted site wide your best shot at being discovered is maximazing the time your stories spend...

    How did you start writing fiction in your early journey as a new author?

    My first writing project started very early in my life, I wanna say 2012 but at this point its kinda hard to remember. It was a silly little fanfiction of a game I really really liked (and still play 14 years later, funny how life works some times :blobrofl: ) that didn't really go anywhere...

    Writing What feedback do you need to improve your narrative?

    The most important part is the prose. I don't care if the plot doesn't hold up or is full of holes or if the characters are wishy-washy (within reason, of course) if I'm sucked in by the writing. A lot of authors bend over backwards trying to make airtight plots and characters that make perfect...
