    Dreams and Nightmares. Let's Share!

    this is very late and i apologize but...i can tell you a couple more! though more vaguely! doubling back on the theme of that mansion appearing, one of my dreams actually involved some violence. Sometimes my dreams have violence in them, but more often than not they are just bizarre. In this...

    Dreams and Nightmares. Let's Share!

    A couple of very vivid dreams that I've had before and still remember: 1) This is my most recent one: I'm a girl, but I clearly remember being male in this dream. I went around recruiting these magical (?) winged people for some kind of purpose (I'll get to that later), and I remember...

    How to make outlining a story enjoyable & effective?

    Thank you guys so much for your helpful input! I think the thing I definitely miss the most despite it being so obvious is to have a clear beginning, middle, and end *sweatdrop* I like your idea of outlining. My mind can definitely get overwhelmed with all of the ideas I come up with to the...

    How to make outlining a story enjoyable & effective?

    Interesting! I've read a couple of replies on here that suggest sharing with someone else or talking about it out loud. From what I've gathered, it all also seems to lead to the three main points you mentioned. I like the idea of not having a super-specific outline and letting things flesh out...

    How to make outlining a story enjoyable & effective?

    I realize this is a rather elementary question but something I struggle with the most is the outline for my stories. Usually, I wing it and build my story as I go but I realized that while it might be the easier path, that's not very effective in building character and worlds. And my current...

    Writing Writing Pet Peeves / Annoyances

    ughhh me too with the commas and descriptions! it's so hard to try and cut down on the commas! a pet peeve of mine that affects my writing is that i second-guess myself and double back on almost everything when it comes to descriptions. i'll write one thing, wonder if it was too much, rewrite...

    What makes you drop a story?

    I try really hard not to drop a story with a super slow schedule if the plot is really engaging, but it's hard keeping interest if there's months of empty space in between uploads. Same for grammar mistakes, where most of the time it doesn't matter to the readability of the story itself. This is...

    Favorite game

    I think the game I've replayed the most is The Last Guardian. I'm a huge fan of Fumito Ueda and this game is one my absolute favorites of his. I've replayed Horizon Zero Dawn a few times too. To me, there's nothing more satisfying than taking down a machine or completing a mission, and I just...

    Trying to provide backstory without being too infodumpy, feedback appreciated.

    I'm a tad late, but I agree with everything Ohko said. You're off to a good start, Niraada, I was expecting a more heavy infodump but the stuff you had on the doc wasn't all that bad. But I agree that it's super hard not to infodump! I still struggle with it. A small suggestion, but when you're...

    Writing How do you plan geography?

    Geography can be incredibly tricky, especially when you're making up your own. If your story is geography-heavy, it might help to sketch out a map, and if you're planning to create more stories heavy in geography, then I would definitely recommend at least practicing creating maps. But before...

    Writing How to make dialogues sound natural?

    I agree with Owl, having them talk in your mind definitely helps, personally. Another thing to remember is that no one talks in perfect grammar, contrary to popular belief (unless you’re striving for a character to have that kind of personality, i.e royalty (?) ) and characters who have...
