    Is Your MC your favorite character?

    Actually, in my current work I have a main character even though it's an ensemble primarily with POV chapters who I like for their forthright qualities and their vulnerability and their activity because when I write a main character they tend to gravitate towards being a blank slate. It was just...

    Do you guys use ai or actually artists for your covers

    I had some artist drawn covers a while ago but unfortunately I don't know any artists personally who have encountered my works to the point that I feel like they understand the style and feeling that I'm going for. I would love to work with an artist who read my stuff and got inspired. I have a...

    Are novels getting worse or…

    I watched an interesting video recently about storytelling entropy and something I'm trying to be very cognizant of. It was primarily focused on Marvel product in films and television. The dilution of central simple ideas. One example was the simplicity and story structure of a light saber and...

    What Kind of Characters do you Gravitate Towards?

    In writing, people who have fucked up families. People who have gender fluid possibilities. Characters with a lot of internal reflection. Characters fighting huge monolithic unknown forces. Characters that are rather timid and working on getting more forthright. I've recently given up mothers...

    Daily Loss Mega Thread

    I spent seven hours talking to my loved one and I turned out to be hours that I had to catch up on writing and I wound up falling asleep for much of a day off and losing that day off but I spent seven hours talking to my loved ones and I still wound up writing the chapters I wanted to write so I...

    Good morning, ScribbleHub!

    This is too much perky energy from morning. But gamrning. :p perception is a huge part of reality. If you can convince yourself of a thing that's almost as much as it being a thing because it becomes a thing. I was listening to a podcast recently they took a bunch of older individuals to a...

    'Outgrowing' a Type of Narrative or Genre

    Interesting example, because in one of my recent narratives, I actually worked through the death of one of my parents with the character dealing with the sudden death of their godfather in the absence of their father. I had maybe not the best mom and despite friends telling me I keep putting...

    'Outgrowing' a Type of Narrative or Genre

    I had an interesting discussion with a close friend who had found they no longer had an interest in elements and sub topics of my narratives where characters are wrestling with their psychology and self identity because they found they have successfully gone through therapy and psychological...

    Do you think Scribblehub should ban ai generated novels?

    Tagging it so people know is good. I use it in a very limited fashion for brainstorming and getting over writers block especially in emotional scenes that need a certain potent phrasing that I have difficulty expressing coherently. And then there's editing software like Quillbot and DeepL that...

    Just saw thread where they discussed about banning AI genrated story, so i want to ask whats your opinion on using AI to edit your story.

    Ironically I found with a well trained and taught AI, is incredibly good at emotional scenes but the problem is once it needs to talk about the plot and develop events it has trouble. It tends to jump for non-sequiturs because it doesn't have the ability to surmise and formulate story. But for...

    How do you start your stories???

    Lately, I have started stories with a line of dialogue that introduces things and sets a conflict or an invitation to something compelling. Wife mad at her husband. Traveling family talking about arriving at their destination. One of them was just a description of what kind of things the main...

    AI-Assisted or not.

    I actually really like this because I tend to phrase stuff really a** backwards and awkward as heck. I don't approve of what it decides to do with my writing most of the time but it sometimes has suggestions that clear up the tangle of phrases and clauses and other nonsense into something that...

    When is a story considered ecchi?

    When a boob hits your eye, like it fell from the sky, that's an ecchi. When you got a behind that swings like Jell-O on springs, that's an ecchi. When fan service ain't a tease, but sends you to your knees that's an ecchi. I wish I could come up with more lines but basically where it pushes...

    My workflow is whenever I can and whenever I stop procrastinating from playing simulation games online that intentionally waste my time.
