It tends to be a bit of a hybrid and that especially shows on my most recent effort where from week to week I come up with a set of chapters to write about 10,000 words on. I know where I generally want the story to ultimately end but incorporated suggestions from readers and merged it with...

I’ve actually found some very impressive results but the eyes tend to be creepy and need to be fixed. It won’t replace artists but it and other services have possibilities with extending art in the same style and remixing it. The server costs ultimately shake down to about the same as just...

Twine is interesting but grueling to add all the possibilities I want.

Characters talking to themselves with a physical embodiment in the same room. Dreams that mean something.

If it works it works. Find your niche.

With something that immediately makes your reader raise their eyebrows. Waking up… But waking up dead Attending a class… But it’s a class that teaches them assassination Having lunch… But the lunch talks to them Meeting an old friend… But that friend doesn’t exist Etc

It gets a little wonky sometimes. I just add spaces manually.

I didn’t know albatrosses could write... Welcome! :D

Boom? Kapow. Kablewie. Ptchow. Psssshhhhaaaaacchaaaaaaaaaddddoooom If you don’t want to go with onomatopoeia then describing the sensory details should be fine

Chapter 4: Luck What the hell was this guy? The presence of the man in black overrode my fear. Even the little girl beside me fell to her knees when she saw him. "I finally tracked you down, stupid slaves. Do you have any idea how much it cost me just to find you both? And now that I've found...

I’m afraid of leaving things unfinished, for the ones I love and creatively. But I’ll fight for both as long as I have time.

Write those words! Write’em good, write’em hard! Do it or so help me I’ll get my writing whip! :p

It actually happens primarily on Fridays and then goes through Saturday and Sunday and picks up again on Monday. It’s a trend I found earlier in the year when I tried to figure out how to schedule content. Monday through Thursday seems to be the best arrangement then Friday may be something...

How about user-defined variations for tags? Same terms but with mouse-over qualifiers by a given author. Several times now have I put together combinations of tags and some folks who show up have a pre-loaded idea of what the tags mean or should mean and then press me into changing them based...

Sincerely.

Grammar and awkward phrasings are obstacles for the reader to engage with a story. I find when I’m proofing certain works if there’s a phrasing or a choice of style or a mistake then it’s like you’re listening to someone play some music and suddenly they banged on the wrong key. You can still...

Honestly, if it were up to me so long as you said in the description that this is just like the depiction of a nonfiction work in a fictional world or the trappings of that at least then that would be perfectly fine. Kind of like the end section of the novel Dune. I’d consider it still a story...

I suppose it’s kind of like what you present in the story like if you have a character that shape shifts because they’re some extra dimensional thing and they can look like anyone any gender or whatever then I suppose you could include it. Sort of intent I guess

It has often been said by professional editors and seasoned writers not to bother mixing in every synonym for said. Just say said and move on.

Hi, I am an author and I have a problem. It’s basically the literary equivalent of feature creep. I have a bunch of stories set in various universes which could spend hundreds to thousands of pages on epic events and small personal ones too. For the future and my sanity and my reader’s...
