    Yeah, especially when you get comfy with one. I try them out all the time, but I always go right back to Scrivener. EDIT: I will say, though, looking at Quoll Writer again, it looks to be much improved with a lot of added features since the last time I tried it years ago. The editor feature...

    Open-source Software for Writing

    Most of these aren't open source (LibreOffice is though), just free. I like yWriter, have used it before. Writeway looks useful. There's also Atomic Scribbler and Quoll Writer, both free, the latter open source as well. Similar to Scrivener like the above mentioned, but fewer features...

    Webnovel Covers I Made

    Joke cover. Artwork inspired the idea. Found the art on Huaban or Dutang, I forget which. This is the official cover I did for my own translation of The Sketch Artist. Went through several versions; this is the final one. Joke cover. Tattoos on her arm inspired the idea. Practice cover...

    Webnovel Covers I Made

    Just wanted to share the various webnovel covers I've made over the years. Some were intended for (an are actually being used) real webnovels, and some are just dumb jokes. A couple are posters. In no particular order: This is a joke cover I made to poke fun at the Generic Cultivation Novel...

    On Sentimentality

    The following is an excerpt from The Making of a Story by Alice LaPlante. It's a great book about writing technique. Bonus bit about finding your "voice" from the same book:

    Help with synopsis?

    Some questions that came to mind while reading your synopsis that might be useful: Why does Dash have reservations? Why does Dash not feel included? What's that about? Who/What are The Great Old Ones? What kind of world is this? Obviously one where mankind has expanded beyond Earth, but is Earth...

    What does a ‘Hero’ mean to me?

    I don't know if I really believe in heroes, more like there are people who have principles and live by them. Others might call them heroes. But depending on one's point of view they might be a villain to someone else. But I like this exchange in wuxia author Yun Zhongyue's 1976 novel The Great...

    How do you plan out your story?

    This is more or less what I do too. This outline method using Excel is pretty neat. I've used this before, helpful to get a good overview of your story all at once. For a template/just-do-this method of outlining, try the Snowflake Method.

    Great article on POV and narrative distance

    Hope the article helps! I don't know the details of your story, but if you want to continue with first-person, you can try to focus on showing the other characters' thoughts/feelings through their actions more. Could be a good way to show also that the first-person narrator doesn't is perhaps...

    Feeling intimidated by the bombastic language people use in their stories.

    The writer's goal is to find his or her own voice. It's not easy and often takes a while. If you're writing in an artificial way because that's the way you think you should then your writing will sound unnatural. Just keep reading as much as you can and writing, and your style will evolve.
