    How would YOU get rich?

    I'd invest in a cartel and buy out all the major alphabet agencies around the world. Then slowly make drugs legal, and therefore boring, by controlling the wholesale of said drugs and stifling the drug market. I'd also invest in hostile take overs of every major industry in the world and bring...

    What do you listen to when writing?

    If it's not lo-fi playlists them I'm listening to classical instrumentals. I used to be able to write to songs that have lyrics but I found that the lyrics influence what I'm writing so I made the switch. This is only when I'm writing a new chapter. When I'm editing I listen to anything...

    What to do when you have too much dialogue?

    I like to interlace throat punches every now and then. Just to remind the reader that I'm getting tired of thinking up dialogue.

    Any insecurities you authors have about your novels?

    I feel the same. I hope that there are those who enjoy what I'm writing but most of the time I just assume that I'm the only one who's actually enjoying it. On the flip side, I kinda don't care. I'm mostly writing for myself and if anyone else happens to like it, that's cool.

    Isekai. Always with the medieval fantasy and such.

    I think it's worth noting that because Fantasy, both Old and Modern, has always been set in the Medieval times and has done all the legwork for the Isekai trope. Like stated before, this means less time trying to explain why these people are still using swords and kicking the shit out of each...

    Death of a Character

    I wish I could plan. I'm a discovery writer and I don't like to plan things out. Setting myself up for failure/heartache is kinda something I'm good at. Your example makes a lot of sense. I haven't played TLOU2 yet but I'd be lying if I said I haven't seen any of the controversy surrounding it.

    Death of a Character

    So, I just wrote a chapter and I killed off a character. They were one of the main characters but that's beside the point for my project because I have a bunch of them. The plan to kill this character only just came to me last night as I was finishing up the previous chapter. I went into the...

    The Publish Cringe

    I agree with the published part. I don't even go back and read my stuff once I publish it. I just make sure I have everything as properly edited as possible before it goes live. Then I'll just throw it out there and kind of forget about it on purpose. It doesn't make me cringe so much as I...

    mom get the camera I'm about to SHILL

    I've been meaning to get around to reading your novel and I like it so far. I've only got some time to read the first chapter right now so I'll give my thoughts on that. I like the narrative voice you've been able to set. You have some really pretty prose, just barely toeing the line of being...

    Make Chapter Views the "default" views instead of total views

    I agree. I think Wattpad has this? Where it shows you the total views and the chapter views when you're actively in the chapter? As far as I remember that's how it was before I delisted one of my older novels on there. I never actually read anything on there so I don't know if it had the same...

    Do you build your world around the story or the story around the world?

    I'm a pantser/discovery writer so I lean more towards building the world around the story I'm writing. But I also agree with an in between approach being smarter. You definitely want some parts of your world to be concretely defined before you get too deep into your story. Like geographical...

    Your best friend is now a god/goddess.

    I'd greet them how I always do. "Sup bitch!" And then I'd remind them that they're still a bitch.

    reaction score: 0

    Yeah, your synopsis needs to go. From a readers point of view, it doesn't make me want to read your entry. Rather than explaining what the story is supposed to be about, it would draw a reader in if you were giving a brief view into your story. Your synopsis is really, really vague and obtuse...
