In the second XNPC book, they're going to spend a good chunk of the story at a fancy hotel, and I want to make the name of that hotel the title of the book. The hotel is owned by a sentient Hero character, and they gave it a name that reflects the state of the world the story takes place in, in...

The first of many, hopefully. Come do the "the badger's going to be rich soon" dance with me!

I've been writing XNPC almost exclusively for the past year or so, but I have other stories I want to write. I think it'd be nice to have two stories going at once so that when I start feeling burned out on one, I can switch over to the other for a while. But the advice I've seen regarding that...

XNPC just went live on Sunday morning. So far it only has 5 readers, 370 views, and no favorites on SH, and 5 followers, 800 views, and 1 favorite on RR. I posted the first eight chapters on day one to get it up to the 20,000 word mark so it'd be eligible for RR's Rising Stars list, and I've...

The Asha Effect is when a writer creates a character that they obviously expect the audience to see a certain way (usually as a hero or a villain) only for the exact opposite to happen. Maybe this has a name already, I don't know and I'm too lazy to look it up, so I'm just calling it the Asha...

Helloooooo, internet! After nearly a year of talking about it, my litrpg, XNPC, has finally gone live! Chapter One is up now, and more chapters will be released every hour up to Chapter Eight. Click the cover below to check it out. Hope to see you all there. This is going to be epic! Thirteen...

I just wrote this, and I'm not sure if it gets across the feeling of rising panic I'm shooting for. What do you guys think?

There are an infinite number of ways to write a villain, but I think most (if not all) of them can be summed up with these two pictures: The first kind: The second kind:

I've never been able to afford a vacation, but I really really want to go on a cruise. I'm saving up to hopefully go on a Norwegian cruise sometime later this year, probably on the Bliss or the Encore since they offer studio cabins that you won't get double charged for if you go alone. If I can...

I decided to try using Duolingo to learn Japanese today. I just finished using up my 25 free energy points, and I'm surprised by how intuitive the whole thing feels. No idea if I'm actually going to commit to this or not, but at least I know how to order rice, sushi, green tea, and water if I...

I'm releasing XNPC on February 1st, so get hyped. But I was looking around at some reviews for popular litrpgs, and one thing I saw more than once was "It's too long for the first book in the series." XNPC is currently 195,972 words long (roughly 783 pages) and I'm still adding to it. So, two...

It seems like over the past couple weeks Scribble Hub's been getting a lot of new users advertising stories they've written when they can barely speak English. Is it just a coincidence that so many of them are trying to join at the same time, or is this some kind of coordinated bot invasion? Or...

Both when you're writing and reading. For me, I'm pretty good at describing the environments my scenes are set in, but I'm bad at making them "look" cool. The scenery is usually just a backdrop for what the characters are doing. That goes for when I'm reading, too. A book will have a castle, and...

I know we get a million of these threads a week, but this one is slightly different. I created a new story, posted the first chapter, and scheduled it to go live at a later date. I just went back to schedule a few more chapters, but now the book is gone. I can't even find it on my own profile...

It is currently 3:15 pm where I live, but for me it's more like 2:00 am. I'm starting my new job as a night shift security guard this week, so I'm trying to transition into a night shift schedule, staying up all night and sleeping during the day. I'm pretty good at the "staying up all night"...

Despite knowing that litrpgs are the easiest way to break into the webnovel market, it took me years to write one because I had no interest at all in the genre. I tried once or twice to write a litrpg simply for the attention it could get me, but I always gave up after one or two chapters...

My plan was to release XNPC on the first Sunday of 2026. I'd post the first nine chapters all at once so it'd be eligible for RR's rising stars list, then do daily updates for a couple weeks before switching to a Wednesday/Saturday schedule. But I've been adding and changing so much stuff over...

This is just something I've been mulling over for the past couple days. How does it make you feel when an author gives their main character a debilitating injury or condition midway through the story? I'm thinking about doing that to one of my characters, and I'm curious what people think about...

Shitposting. It's for shitposting.

A week or so ago, I mentioned that I was interested in making a visual novel someday. My exposure to VNs is pretty limited. I've played (and loved) the Phoenix Wright games, but those are so different from "normal" VNs that they practically don't count. I played a couple hours of Doki Doki...
