Me: "All right, time to get some writing done! I need to write at least 1000 words today." Nose: "Am sick." Me: "It's just a cold. It'll take more than a stuffy nose to stop me!" Nose: "But...But am sick!" Me: "Sorry, but we're both just going to have to deal with it." Nose: "BUT AM SICK!"...

I was just playing Mario Kart, and it occured to me that a battle racing tournament could be a really cool setting for a litrpg or gamelit. Has anyone ever tried this? Do you think it could be done well? The first problem that jumps out at me is how to keep the readers attention in between...

At one point in my story, the MC is going to hear part of a song in the radio. I wrote this to be equal parts creepy and funny. Imagine some One Direction-type band singing it. What do you think?

I Applied for a Delivery Job and got Turned Into a Flying Reindeer?! was always supposed to be my own little inside joke. "Let's take something from just about everyone's childhood and turn it into a shonen anime without the anime," I said to myself about a year ago. It will be funny and could...

I know it's possible to change my username. I looked in my user settings, and it said I'd be able to do it in November. What I'm wondering is, would it be a good idea? I mentioned in another thread that my account got banned on Royal Road, but it's still easily the biggest goldmine of potential...

I felt like playing a puzzle game today, so I decided to try out a funny looking title on PlayStation Plus called Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent. Half an hour later, I no longer felt like playing a puzzle game. I did feel like an idiot, though. I'm good at some kinds of puzzles. I love logic...

I'm always looking for more places to share my stories. Here's a list of the sites I use or have used. Can anyone recommend some others? Nothing like Webnovel that expects you to only upload to their site, though. I use/have used: Scribble Hub Fictionpress (dead site) Wattpad (not dead but may...

I've had this idea brewing in the back of my mind for a while. I think it could be pretty cool. What do you guys think? In the land of Altanocte, the souls of the virtuous dead are sent to heaven, while sinners are condemned to the bottom of the sea for all eternity, where their sins have...

We're more than halfway through Spooky Month. Think back to when you were young enough to go trick or treating. What was your favorite thing to find in your candy pail at the end of the night? For me, I've got a soft spot for cheap candy. Nobody ever gave away high quality stuff in my...

I friggin love pirates, especially when there's a fantasy element to them. I've wanted to write a pirate story for so long, but the lack of attention my stories have gotten over the years makes me hesitant to even start a project that doesn't immediately fall into a popular genre. I tried...

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much badly does the word "Shatterborn" make you roll your eyes? There's a new idea that's been knocking around my head for the past few days. Long story short, there are monsters in another dimension. If one of those monsters grows strong enough, it can break through...

It seems like whenever someone wants to make their character cooler than the rest of their cast, they make them dual wield something. On one hand, I get it. The image of someone effortlessly using two weapons will always look cool. But how many dual wielding badasses can we read/watch before it...

I accidentally fat fingered my way to giving my book a one star rating a few minutes ago. I changed it to five stars, but that's not much better. Is it possible to delete a rating entirely? If so, how? All I've been able to do is change the rating.

I've always thought that a good title was something short but memorable, like Henry Rider: Clown Hunter. But it seems like the most popular stories (or at least webfictions) have really long light novel-style names like I am the Chosen Hero in a Game with No Respawns or Immortal Paladin: A...

I know it's October, but I'm already working on the sequel to IAFADJAGTIAFR?!. I decided to dump the cheap AI generated covers I was using and have my artist draw a real one. Here's the first rough sketch. What do you guys think?

My WIP is about a battle royale tournament where the winner ascends to godhood for ten years. At first I was going to call the city the god lives in Olympus, but I eventually decided against that because the story takes place in a high fantasy world I made up, and I'd rather avoid the inevitable...

Right now, litrpgs are the big trend. I know it's impossible to say with 100% certainty, but once the litrpg trend dies out, what do you think is most likely to take it's place? I have no earthly idea, so I'm just going to say...branching monster transformation CYOA stories. Because why not?

I'm making some major changes to my WIP, and that required me to almost completely rewrite the first chapter. These are the opening paragraphs. I'm trying to do some quick worldbuilding before switching to the main character's POV. What do you think?

It's the SPOOKY MONTH!!! I've always thought there were two kinds of horror stories: fun horror and dread horror. Fun horror is like a haunted house. You get scared but come out laughing at the end. Movies like A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and other movies where the killers...

Over the years, my method of doing webfiction has been to publish the entire book on Amazon (print and Kindle) and then upload it one chapter per week to the internet, letting people know that the full book is for sale if they ever get tired of waiting for new chapters. Most webfiction authors...
