    How should I post my prologue?

    You can present a multi part prologue so labeled or just give a note that it’s essentially a prologue and include a different distinction for the subsequent chapters. Whatever works for pacing and your preferred presentation.

    Writing a little help to improve my writing style

    Some of the preceding comments are a bit harsh, I would say there’s plenty here to work with. For me one of the problems is there’s a lot being thrown at me chaotically and I need a bit more grounding, I need sort of an approach to the narrative. If you’re going with the dash structure rather...

    Weird issue where saving the page hangs up

    I often run into an issue where I try to save the page edits and the saving hangs for a very long time and I need to reload the page. Typically nothing is lost but weird glitch.

    NaNoWriMo's a'Coming

    Checking in with pretty much a first week progress report. Not bad.

    Does this premise sound good?

    It’s a setting. And that’s an interesting setting but you need details about what’s going to happen at least in a professional and provocative way for yourself before you translate that to your readers into some kind of introduction. This is kind of a bad example from me because I basically...

    NaNoWriMo's a'Coming

    I’m currently doing around 12,000 words a week, I could probably bump that up a little and hit the threshold.

    Authors, let's describe our series poorly

    Do I have to describe all of them? I’ll just do the ones that are finished and the most recent. I had a cultural ethics class and I vented about it by throwing anime girls at the problem. Some jobs are really freaking boring even if sci-fi magic is involved. Turning into an anime futanari can...

    The Witcher Writers Hate the Source

    I saw a YouTuber recently who touched upon this but there is a predominant sign in Hollywood of people who get in charge of properties and they absolutely despise the properties, that that one in particular was people who hated Scooby Doo but were writing Scooby Doo. A lot of Star Wars people...

    Copyrighted Images. Sent to court for it?

    A lot of the legal stuff related to AI is up in the air right now but I know several of them wave any particular copyright they hold and the producer of the work is the absolute owner. So far as legal images, I’d really rather not mess around with that because I like to own and potentially sell...

    The Radland

    I took a look at the story and it’s pretty nifty. Thanks for sharing :-)

    Why do guys chose to write gender bender?

    My time has come. Reasons vary cording to the writer of course. For me, I have always been fascinated by gender roles. I like writing about human nature and social relationships and how they are forged, torn down, and rebuilt according to massive changes in people. Over something like 2 million...

    Send me your favorite sentence you written...

    There’s a bunch that have been really good all throughout my works and recently I actually made a really cool extended allusion to Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. But there is one exchange which has stuck in my mind for some darn reason and I suppose that works. Ami sighed. “It’s difficult...

    Tips? Tricks? Secret rituals that you use to motivate you when you are writing?

    I typically respond best to forcible gun to my head pressure from myself angrily demanding that I finish an arbitrary amount of writing every single week or the world is going to explode

    How do you write a believable ending?

    I recently had one that I was really satisfied with. It was melancholy with a cap on every characters position at the end of the narrative but because it was basically an infinite story which never ends I left a little tease to what could happen in the future. The antagonist was defeated but...

    How do you write?

    Now, typically dictation on a mobile device. I managed to get 13,000 words in one week and especially I managed about 4000 in a few hours before bed.

    NaNoWriMo's a'Coming

    If only. Although it is enjoyable writing. But the 8000 words I did in one day last week were not ideal so gotta pace myself and keep up with about 2000 to 4000 a day

    How Do You Write a Believable Male Protagonist?

    *uncertain shrug* I mean there’s not that much difference I like to say but there’s a certain flavor to male characters who appeal to male readers and who appeal to female readers. If you’re just writing to write a character start with yourself and start twisting aspects as you would imagine a...
