    Seriously, writing side chapters is a struggle in itself...

    Side chapters/extras should only be used to illuminate parts of the story that would not otherwise be explored, imo. If you had a scene where a character was saved in the nick of time by someone else arriving, it might be satisfying for readers to see how the rescuers worked out what to do...

    My first 24 hours on Scribble Hub

    I use Scribblehub as a mirror for a webserial novel I am posting on a standalone site, posting chapters one week behind my main site. My novel isn't a popular collection of tropes (BL already makes it unlikely to be clicked on, cultivation, xianxia, isekai even more so), so I'm fairly satisfied...

I don't know if Scribblehub has the legal...

    1st person or 3rd person

    I have experimented with both, and found that third-person limited tends to be the place that I settle in as a storyteller. I conceptualize this as a camera over the shoulder of the main character, kind of like a third person shooter game. I can interject the main character's thoughts and...

    Writing How do you write romance?

    With regard to romance, I recommend a short (but helpful) book called 'Romancing the Beat', which lays out the beat method of working out a romance plot. The vast, vast majority of romance plots end with Happily Ever After (HEA) or Happy For Now (HFN) because this is what romance readers crave...

    Readers are degenerate, and you should be too

    Hello, I'm the author of Jade Veterinarian. The art that is serving as the cover to my novel is a fanart flier that a friend did to publicize my novel at their table at a con. I have been given permission by my friend to use their flier art to publicize the novel. I do not feel it is...
