    LitRPG or Portal Fantasy? (help!)

    Okay. Thanks. But why did you pick that one? I need to know for future reference. I find it hard to differentiate between portal fantasy and litrpg

    LitRPG or Portal Fantasy? (help!)

    The problem is that Amazon is a fickle company and they'll delete my entire account if it's deemed false advertising so I'm thinking about leaning to one side or the other just to avoid problems

    How to write faster?

    I've recently gone from writing 2k words a day to 5k and here's how I did it 1. Writing sprints. I set a timer for 25mins and write for that time. It used to be 15 mins but now I do 25. I can get over 1,000 words in that time once the story is flowing but even a bad session would usually result...

    LitRPG or Portal Fantasy? (help!)

    I'm working on a series set in a fictional world where portals to dungeons (ranging from levels 1-20) randomly spawn. Killing a monster in a dungeon grants a key of the level of the monster and in it the challenger can get weapons or materials etc and people grind these dungeons for keys. Keys...

    Tips and tricks for authors

    1. Don't pants a story. Yeah, I know pantsing sounds cool and everyone says it's valid and whatever but if you want to make life more difficult for yourself and add on an extra 3 rounds of rewriting and editing, then pants away. I've written over three dozen novels and I can confidently say that...

    Main Character who is a Transman

    I tried but the problem is that they're sometimes not the main lead or it's smut so I haven't found anything that sounds interesting yet. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out

    Main Character who is a Transman

    I've realized that I've never actually read a story where the lead is a transman. I've read one with a transwoman, I've read gay and lesbian stories, the regular straight romances and the standard male and female leads in every genre but I haven't found any stories where the main character is a...

    Can booze help us write novels better

    I don't think the flow state is talked about enough. That's when you get so into the writing you lose track of time. Few people know how to get into that flow state but if you ever wonder how someone managed to write 10k words in a day, at least one of their writing sessions would have entered...

    Can booze help us write novels better

    I did try a pink strawberry milkshake drink thing that was okay but I still couldn't see myself drinking it again. Alcohol is expensive and doesn't taste good. Why would I want to drink it? I think when it comes to writing, there's a lot of focus on the technical aspect and a lot of times you'd...

    Can booze help us write novels better

    I've tried wine and beer. Maybe one glass wasn't enough but I never got those effects. I have hallucinated on prescription medication before (prescribed by my doctor who apparently forgot I couldn't take certain things) and that was not fun at all. Worse yet, I didn't even get any good content...

    Can booze help us write novels better

    I wouldn't know. I've never been drunk before and I have no intention of ever being drunk. Alcohol tastes disgusting

    Writing How to make the bromance?

    Yeah. Culture is a huge part. Where I live, grown men hug each other as greetings all the time and it's not weird and my dad says that when he was younger, most boys would walk home with their arms around each others shoulders and it was nothing strange. Also experiences growing up. At my high...

    Am i the only one who feels this way?

    I hate when people pronounce appreciate appre-see-ate. Makes me want to through things. That's really the only standard English thing that annoys me. Everything else is a part of the local dialect in my country. The local slang, terms, phrases and words are irritating, and this is technically my...

    Why can’t I read my own novel?!

    I would say don't restart your story and power through. You need to experience finishing a project if you want to finish others. Success leads to more success. Have you ever heard of failing to success? Dean Wesley Smith talks about it. It's where you give yourself a goal just out of reach in a...

    Why can’t I read my own novel?!

    You're not gonna like this but... you'll never stop complaining about your plot until you do at least the bare minimum of planning. What is that? If nothing else it's 1. What does our character want? (main plot) 2. Why can't they get what they want? (main conflict or roadblocks along the way) 3...
