    Which word processer is best for writing?

    Whatever thing makes you do the words fast. I write in Discord chat then import it over for storage. If I can find a free client which is basicaly Discord but works on mobile and laptops then Discord can die but I tend to collaborate and share, so that is a bonus.

    As an author, how do you plan out your stories?

    Wait...wait...you're telling me we're supposed to plan? Oh...shi--- How i go about it Compelling idea - Hey, what if a girl walked home and found her family believed she was someone else? Hey, what if a high school was turned into a live JRPG? What if I wrote Inktober as stories instead of...

    Do you use the Glossary feature?

    I've experimented with it to catalog characters. I have a few maps I intend to include eventually but it's challenging to figure out how much info to give for first time readers, if they browse there before reading.

    Writing How do you write worlds?

    If you want a great example of how to tell a story without any characters (sorta), take a look at Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains". You show the reader a story with what clues the setting gives.

    Confirm Box If Changing Release Time To Now By Accident/Glitch

    I noticed the date jumps to January 1st. Why does it do that? It makes mistakes easy when you want to set a month and you're burned out after 20 hours of editing and writing and just want to schedule something and NOT accidentally release it now.

    Confirm Box If Changing Release Time To Now By Accident/Glitch

    I have time after time after time gotten what may be a glitch but I want to move the hour of a release and it suddenly releases the chapter. It has caused me so much frustration. We need a box like delete confirmation where you can confirm that yes you do want to release something now because it...

    Is Mult-posting your story good? Or bad?

    I started out with DeviantArt and Livejournal back in the Ancient Days of the Net. dA finally turned into a complete turd so trying out ScribbleHub. I want to post to more but I still get paranoid my editing isn't good enough even after doing a read aloud with a robot voice. Mostly, it's the...

    Adaptation to your Story

    A Kinetic novel would be great. I almost managed to adapt a short story into a visual novel but the group of artists fell apart due to disagreements but the entire thing was storyboarded. I wrote it about 15 years ago. It was like A Silent Voice mixed with Your Name, dealing with a bullied...

    Opinions about writing contest

    I dig the motivation to write daily. I know I won't win but just holding my own in the top ten recently was a blast. Pushing yourself to do something is always great.

    Average time to finish a chapter.

    It depends. It took me three hours to get through a rough, dialogue-heavy section of a new chapter two nights ago because I had to suss out an antagonist and their word choices. And that barely hit 1000 words but I sometimes have days where I don't have to think the words out and end up with...

    Editing I need some editing tips.

    Text to speech, all the way. I like to use the MS Word version because I can just save the changes without needing an intermediary program but if you use the web for saving text then the free online options are great too. So far as editing, distance is vital. Hearing your words is even better...

    Author's urge to Post Too Early

    I have a lot of backlog content I need to desperately edit and not overloading folks with new stuff while keeping them engaged is the great balance mystery of figuring stuff out on here. By the way, if you have MS Word - READ ALOUD. It is a godsend. Sure, a computer voice makes your writing...

    As an author, what is your take on 'reviews'?

    Reviews are cool but I am still jazzed that I got a reflection comment which was like 500+ words long about how a reader felt emotionally crushed by how the story ended and gave a mix of nitpicks and things they enjoyed. Even though they were upset, that kind of engagement and willingness to...

    How do you come up with funny stuff for your story?

    The closest thing I come up with so far as humour is just stream of consciousness cute character stuff, exaggeration, and juxtaposition. Like one of my favorite little moments of humour has two characters arguing about cleaning up a room. One character - "I can't explain it, but the objects in...

    Writing How do you write worlds?

    I'm working on a bug world society right now with fantasy elements. Going in I decided to research what the core insect species were like. I recently discovered when insects molt, they have to hold their breath for almost an hour and it apparently feels like having your lungs ripped out from the...

    Sorting how? I shuffle unpublished work in progress chapters on the create page but I don't shuffle anything that's been published. I keep a chapter for world-building notes at the top of the list so I don't accidentally publish that.
