Dude, I've written so many characters from dozens and dozens of stories. I have no idea. I can't even remember half of what I wrote. Some times I go back and read something I wrote and I'm surprised I even wrote it. Lady Commander has something like twenty different viewpoint characters, and...

Dude, just make it up. The number of people who actually know that information are few and far between. You're a fantasy writer. Act like one.

Why, thank you, Paul. All right. Let me know if you like it. That's very interesting. I've said it recently, but I think SH feels like RR about four or five years ago when I first got on there. Now RR seems very highly saturated with too many writers.

For my newest release, Lady Commander, the growth or interests, you might say, seems to be about five to ten times better than on RR, assuming there aren't simply a lot of lurkers who don't have accounts on RR following the story and I simply don't know it. Despite that unknown, there's about...

I went through all the tags. I didn't see any appropriate tags. I wouldn't call it a smut piece or an erotica. It's a space opera fantasy with some erotic scenes.

There's an attractive female lead, though she might not be the most competent of leaders. I'm planning to possibly redraft the novel, so this is the sample/reader feedback phase. I'll post it all up quickly to read and tell me your thoughts. Here's the synopsis: As a duchess, they call me Lady...

Description evokes a sense of place and can carry over emotion, so action adventure is the wrong tone for a romance novel, but that's not to say a romance novel can't also be an action adventure story. The lines can get quite fuzzy, and there's no "wrong way" per say, you just want to descrie...

I couldn't care less. I want fantasy and I want it to be fantastical. As long as I'm interested in the story and like the characters, I don't care if there are "mistakes" that I perceive in the writing. I think Brandon Sanderson is a terrible fantasy writer. His magic "systems" are pseudo...

How long have you been writing now? I started when I was 23 and now I'm 36. I write a lot of short stuff, not really suitable for SH or RR, but because of this I've not only written a lot, but I've written a lot of different things using different styles or approaches. At this point, I can...

Rewriting is for noobs. AI writing isn't art and it's for hacks who have no skill and probably love the terrible low-level churn out of cookie cutter meh movies that are produced all the time. Magic "systems" are boring and don't feel like magic at all, but pseudo science disguised as fantasy...

GameLit isn't it?

I write a storyline. Sometimes this is a single sentence, other times it might be a paragraph, or maybe a couple of paragraphs, and then I get writing. As long as I know WHO the story is about, and WHAT the problem is that they face, then I can just write without any plan whatsoever. Here's the...

Yes, and they're a tone of work to produce. You making any money with your writing? I'll narrate it for you. Maybe... www.youtube.com/@LawrenceCaldwellAuthor

Or possibly even pretentious.

I grew up in South Carolina. I know the meaning of hot and humid, and now I'm living in central Japan. Hot and humid... AND EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It means it's time for a thriller of epic proportions! We're talking fifty main characters with viewpoint shifts that happen so fast they almost send you to the next dimension! Are you ready? I said are you ready?! ARE YOU READY, YOU ILLITERATE...

Writing is rewriting. Rediculous.

I write a back cover-style blurb and get going from there. I don't use silly terms like snowflake or pantsing. I just write myself a fun story and enjoy the process.

Yeah, I do, and I love it. It allows you to tell things to the reader that the characters don't know. It also let's you reveal the thoughts of the different characters in a scene. It's great for conflict and when you have characters pitting against on another. Nowadays most writing is third...
