    As an author, how do you feel when writing villains who commit crimes or immoral acts?

    I don't think too much on how it represents my thinking because if you're giving traits to a villain, you're aware that they are bad things. If anything, it just means you're aware of what's bad and what's good. To me, villains are villains. They will do bad and immoral things. I do only write...

    Writing Writing Advice Needed!!??

    All things are important for memorability, I feel. If you have good characters, good plot, good writing, and good storytelling then your story will naturally draw attention. You're new to writing, so I would honestly say focus on one thing at a time to polish a little more--also to avoid giving...

    Writing Have you ever felt like your body doesn't want to write even though you still have plenty of ideas?

    Just writer's block. It unfortunately happens, but it happens to all of us, so it's nothing to feel bad about. I push myself to try and write something by focusing on what my brain is pinpointing the most, but if that doesn't work, I typically switch between other hobbies for a bit.

    As an author, how do you feel when you reread your novels?

    Depends how old the writing is. If it's really old, usually I cringe. Like, wow! I used to write like that? ...Why? But for the most part, I enjoy them still because they show my development, and the ideas aren't bad (at least, I don't completely think so). Does that last situation happen...

    Writing How about writing up a backlog of chapters before posting?

    Personally, I prefer to have my works completely done before I start posting any chapters. It makes me feel safer because I'm also afraid of writer's block hitting me randomly.

    Lively Dialogues

    I think that what helps dialogue come to life more is adding around what is being said: Like, instead of always saying "He said" or something like that, give them some more emotion. "He yelled." "He stuttered." "He emphasized." Use words other than the basic "said." It adds more character...

    My Webnovel Journey – “Don’t Ask About My Past”

    Of course you need help. You're using AI. It isn't going to improve your writing at all. No one needs to read it to know it's not going to be good if you're throwing it into chat gpt lol

    Do you like this?

    As a reader, I'm not turned away by caps when it's from a computerized system; I don't like it for characters since that's what exclamation marks are for, but when it's a computer or robot or the like, it's fine. For characters, it's corny to me and throws my reading off a bit. It's fine here...

    Philosophy, psychology, and themes in writing. What is your story trying to say?

    My first novel had a lot of politics, abuse of power, and issues with bloodlines and race. The one I'm posting right now is just a love story. Following that, my third one will be both. Welp. Time to combine it and see what I can do

    What's the common thing to do?

    Ah my issue here is the difficulty in splitting these up. The mc and ml are traveling together covering 12 weeks, so each chapter is a week of time. I guess I could split each week in half, but I've never thought about it. Thank you for the idea

    What's the common thing to do?

    I'm ready to post my next work! My first one was a throw in the water to see what I can do, but this next one I really quite like and want to do good, so I want to make sure I do it how I should. So, how many chapters should I release to start? My prologue is almost 2k, my chapters average...

    Need writing advice.

    I always make sure to make an end goal before I start something or at least before I get too far into it. I've ended up having to scrap a lot of writing and scenes I liked because they didn't fit in with what I managed to come up with for an ending. Also having an ending planned out helps...

    How do they do it?

    Sounds like too much pressure. If you can't do something then you can't do it. Don't rush your work because you're trying to meet the standards of other writers. You'll drive yourself crazy, and you might spit out something you're not happy with. I work 60 hours a week and write whenever it...
