    yeah, usually when I get a letter that says "I recently came across your story" all I can think of is "Well, I hope you cleaned off your monitor afterwards, that's kind of disgusting"

    What makes a writer?

    usually blood, bone, viscera, intestines, muscle, and fat. If you are lucky, a little brain too. besides your name?

    Do you think your story measures up?

    Measures up to what? Seriously, though, ALL TV movies and shows, most Movies, and everything written by a guy that gets contracts from political/movie studios/television studios. They ALL suck. every one of them. and if anything makes the mistake of not COMPLETELY sucking, it gets stuck in a...

    Okay, I know it's been done to death. but it HAS to have been successful at least once, or they wouldn't keep trying.

    What are the 'behind the scenes' aspects of your fiction writing that are interesting?

    What kind of keyboard are you using?

    a clone keyboard about the size of a whale that is lit bright enough to see your way around a pitch black apartment. It's called 'logi'. Not logitech, 'Logi'.

    Writing the Dark Chapters

    Like Leilani says. it's hard to make a decent hero if they don't have a decent monster to fight. (Paraphrased VERY loosely)

    What do you think about Loli?

    I think pedophiles should be put in genpop so they aren't a problem for very long. When I was in prison, we had this guy who committed suicide by (censored) after we found out what he did to his daughter. Anyway, it was a real tragedy that the poor guy had to have a closed casket. Some crimes...

    What motivates you to write?

    writing is work. If it isn't work, you might as well just use paper to wipe your butt, you'll wind up with a better result.

    Writing the Dark Chapters

    emotionally dark, literally dark, dark concepts, or dark precepts?? The term 'dark' is so broad. I have written a book where the very first chapter involves billions of sentient beings getting murdered and all of their 'spirit ancestors' being destroyed with them. But calling it dark is kind of...

    Is using AI is wrong?

    well, it's the old saw against AI learning. "Give it five minutes on the unfiltered internet and it turns into a bigot!'. hmmm... sometimes I wonder if that's a flaw, or a feature. I mean, just reading stuff on the internet and taking it seriously is more than enough to make most people bigots...

    What are the 'behind the scenes' aspects of your fiction writing that are interesting?

    I spend copious amounts of time reading literature in other languages that I can understand (Spanish, Chinese, Russian) in order to reassure myself that their fiction SUCKS. English FTW baby! (Russian is a close second, but Spanish and Chinese lit is garbage. Creative garbage, but...

    Is using AI is wrong?

    Thou shalt not make a machine as stupid as the normal human mind. Oh, wait, too late. Most readers are barely more sentient than a sledgehammer. There are ways around this, but mostly getting AI gen fiction to be any good is more work than writing the chapter yourself.

    Does RoyalRoad Suck?

    Scribblehub tags are way better... Or at least, they would be, if half of the fiction authors here actually tagged their stuff appropriately. But, you know, when your only language is Chinese or Korean, they spread around a set of 'tags' to make their stuff artificially popular, which has...

    Does RoyalRoad Suck?

    Super easy. Barely an inconvenience. The basic way to add it is on the 'forum' tab, click on your icon, then on 'signature'. Inside your signature, there are buttons for picture, or links... add the picture, make sure it's tiny, then click on it again and it will let you add the URL it's...
