    Writing Prompt "I don't see the problem"

    Cannibals are usually wild. And aliens can disguise themselves. There's a movie where alien girls crash on Earth. But they were terribly ugly and smelled terrible. At the same time, they had an effect on people's minds and looked like models. Over time, their influence on others weakened, and...

    Help anita word: Acid buring/corroding/melting

    As the academician would say, smell cannot be a verb. There can be any kind of flesh. But the smell can be rotten, "floral", etc.

    They ate her. These girls were actually aliens.

    Writing Prompt What if hitler was reincarnated?

    Considering some of the ideas of Buddhism, this is exactly what happens. To paraphrase: there is one being who is reborn in all of us. "Don't cry, Hitler is still ahead."

    Hello! New author here!

    I used to think that it would be interesting to put the reader in the hero's shoes. But in the end, they will run away from your story just like your hero did. All of this can be done with just one scene. If there is a battle to be fought, the hero should sit by the pond and examine their fresh...

    Hello! New author here!

    Oh, hi. I'm also a be-be-be-beginner writer. I've just started so many times that I'm already st-st-stuttering. Let's say you have a very strange prologue in your book. It's probably normal. But there are events detached from Xvalkken. It's supposed to introduce us to the world, but it doesn't...

    Well, go to hell with your feedback.

    Thank you. In general, this is an original analysis. The first chapters, of course, need to be revised. As does the entire story. This is my first attempt at writing. However, the analysis I extracted from the neural networks, due to a lack of alternatives, is very different from yours. It is...

    Are you a bot? Honest survey, pinky promise.

    The bot cannot fail to respond. ... damn.

    First Person to Third Person to Signify Change

    I've seen this approach. If you imagine a character reading a book, the main character's diary. At some point, they simply repeat what they've read word for word, and at another point, they provide a summary of what they've read, from the reader. We need context here. Something like:

    I'll read a couple chapters of your story and give feedback best I can [No Submissions Temporarily (I need to catch up on everyone)]

    Once again, no one showed up for the flash mob in yellow and blue T-shirts.

    Authors on Hiatus/Inactive Forever: Would You Ever Let Someone Else Finish Your Story?

    It sounds like "only over my dead body" in a positive way.

    Authors on Hiatus/Inactive Forever: Would You Ever Let Someone Else Finish Your Story?

    It's very rare for popular stories to have no continuation. Rather, they switch to a paid basis, change the platform, or the method of distribution. But even if they don't publish, I'm sure they're still thinking about completing or writing it. On the other hand, I started writing because...

    Where do you get inspiration for your writing?

    If I forget how my previous story failed, I'll definitely come up with another one. It's like a quantum fluctuation. As soon as a complete vacuum arises, new matter inevitably appears.

    Well, go to hell with your feedback.

    It doesn't matter. It's just another topic to skip. It's sad to see how people are waiting for at least some kind of opinion. And they come across ignore. In general, here is my option. It's not abandoned. It's just that I don't post a continuation and I want to do another story - an...

    What are some things you wish you knew when you started writing?

    Human language has proven so pernicious. Not only does it have a ton of rules, but even if you take them all into account, it still turns out crap. And no matter how hard you try, it's pointless. A puzzle in an infinite dimension. Every time you fix one detail, everything else falls apart. And...

    How long do you take to write your novel?

    I counted in pages. 11 pages, 5,000 words per chapter. I could write two a week, tops. Since then, I've been combing through those scribbles for five years, and the result is four chapters, each containing fifteen hundred words. And there is enough material for another 7 volumes. In fact, a page...

    What makes a book good in your opinion?

    I have a lot of requirements. But I do have preferences. One of them is an interesting, contradictory hero, struggling with his own or societal prejudices, finding himself in an awkward position. And preferably some exploration of the world. But that doesn't mean every such comparison will be...

    Is it acceptable to shift from third to first person?

    Still, text is not a computer game. The difference between changing perspectives may be limited to changing from "I" to "HE" rather than the camera's position. However, it is precisely this feeling of changing a character with whom you have been together for a long time that hinders these...
