    Name for people with superpowers?

    I'm making notes for a story I may or may not ever actually start. Without going into too much detail, it's about a world split between people with superpowers and people without them. The people without powers are called Nuls. I'm trying to think of a name for the people with powers too. Right...

    How to not feel bad for taking a break?

    Over the last two months, I wrote 60,000 words for IAFADJAGTIAFR?! 2. Then I jumped straight from that to writing 10,000 words for Woemaker in about two weeks. I thought I could keep riding that creative wave and power through Henry Rider 3, but I'm just so...freaking...tired. Every time I sit...

    Best R-Rated Novel of All Time :)

    I just watched Die Hard last night, and the whole time I was reading your post I was imagining this guy: Here's a free tip: people like confidence, but they hate bragging. Talk up your story, absolutely, but try to make it sound less like you're worshipping yourself.

    Choosing Christmas Presents

    Got my brother in law a box of exploding reindeer poop. Then, because I knew I'd get disowned if that's all I got him, I hid a gift card inside it.

    How in the world did I gain a -1 favorite? ?

    You had zero favs, and then I stole one of them and added it to my story. Couldn't be simpler. Do you not understand math?

    Does anyone else struggle with happy endings?

    Something I've been becoming increasingly conscious of over the past couple years is that I struggle to write purely happy endings. One of the things I always strive for when I write a story is that I want things to feel like they're playing out naturally, and at least in my mind, writing a...

    Need plot ideas

    No offense, but whenever I see somebody talking like this, it always ends up being some Shadow the Hedgehog fanfiction-level, grim and edgy for no reason, mess. People want main characters they can connect with, sympathize with, and root for. Nobody over the age of 12 is going to be able to...

    How realistic does it have to be?

    That's something else I've been wondering about. Like, this world may have similarities to our world, but it's not our world, so is it really that immersion breaking that they would just say "left" and "right" instead of developing the exact same terminology with "port" and "starboard" that our...

    How realistic does it have to be?

    I'm planning to start writing a pirate fantasy story soon, and there's one detail in particular that I'm worried about: I don't know very much about sailing or ships from the early 1700s (which is the time period I'm modeling my world after). I'm going to do my research so that I can at least...

    Pros, cons, & audiences of every writing/webnovel site[a continual discussion]

    I just deleted my Penana account. I had two complete books on there, and neither of them got a single like or comment. But I couldn't go a day without getting at least one message saying "Hello writer! You so good at writing am moved to emotion! Please pay me to art for you!" I've reported every...

    Tomboy vs loli

    Loli and shota are pedophilia, and it's messed up that people are able to openly talk about how they like it.

    Who's going to win GOTY?

    I agree that dlc shouldn't qualify as a full game, but what about Elden Ring is political?

    Who's going to win GOTY?

    I just looked up the nominees for the 2024 GOTY award. They're Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Black Myth Wukong, Metaphor: Refantazio, Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and Balatro. Which do you think is going to win, and do you think it actually deserves the award? I wasn't a fan of...

    I Applied for a Delivery Job and Got Turned into a Flying Reindeer?! (now on SH!)

    I'm a day late here (this was part of yesterday's chapter) but I'm pretty sure this is the funniest joke I've ever written. Anyway, today's update is the last chapter in book one! Be here on December 1st for the beginning of book two, I Applied for a Delivery Job and Got Turned Into a Flying...

    Favorite Soul-Borne game?

    Dark Souls 3. It took all the things I loved about the first game and made them even better while ignoring pretty much everything in the second game. Not that DS2 is bad, but it's definitely the worst in the series...which still makes it better than 90% of the games out there.

    Got a message from my therapist

    I had a friend who tried to psychoanalyze me after reading one of my books years ago. He wasn't very good at it. His interpretation of all the heroes were "So, this represents you," the villains were all "This represents your parents," and all the bad things that happen to the hero were "And...
