For me, slice-of-life is perfect to add between more intense, action-packed sections of my story. Ideal for the characters--and reader--to catch a break, process what they've been through, explore your worldbuilding, strengthen character dynamics, and so on.

English is my second language, and I actually write better in it than in my native tongue. I don't know how to explain it; it's like I can "separate" from the verbal quirks, idioms and slang terms that permeate my primary language.

It might be because of the very same reason you mentioned: that it can easily fall into cringe edginess and shock value.

That's a tricky one. I am inclined to say no, because you can't think about something you don't even know about. Hence the importance of reading, even if one isn't a writer; it expands our boundaries.

As long as you can maintain design coherence between the illustrations and you don't go overboard, it can actually enhance your story. What I mean by "design coherence" is that they are all drawn by the same person, or in the case of AI, at least try and make it so that everything is made under...

When well executed, they're one of the best Sci-fi flavors out there. The best iterations of Gundam, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Pacific Rim come to mind. However, it's easy for these tales to fall into trite plot points and story conventions.

If they're so invested that they can come up with stuff and angles even you as the creator hadn't noticed, and which can actually enhance your story. All for the betterment of the worlds we create. (y)

Greetings to all and Happy New Year! I'm Nemo Nusquam, itinerant writer and daydreamer. I've been writing for about sixteen years now--with varying degrees of commitment--but I've been creating stories since I have use of memory. When writing in English I mainly stick to speculative fiction...

Whether one is for or against AI, like other technologies, it is here to stay. So let's focus on honing our craft and telling a well-made story, and we'll be alright. There is an infinite amount of stories to be told, and your unique point of view cannot be replicated by a machine!

As long as it doesn't have any lyrics I'll be able to focus. I mostly keep to movie and video game soundtracks, classical music, instrumental music, and so on.

Being too reactive and trying to justify or defend your work from every comment and critique. Look, you're exposing your work online--sheer numbers plus anonymity will ensure there will be some douchebags in your comment section. Also, take it with a grain of salt; truth might be that we aren't...
