Literally a mass-produced inhuman soldier trying to stand out amongst scores of armed killing machines that look exactly like him.

Usually the line for me revolves around detail. Wounds in general can be understated to an absurd degree depending on the writing, to the point where gut wounds or broken bones can be merely such if you wish it so. Gore depends entirely on detail, upon noting the torn flesh threatening to seep...

As Long as I know where I'm ending it, then I usually have little problem with outlining. There'll usually be a couple key plotpoints that stay firm throughout the rewrite process. They aren't too stringent, since I'll still need some flexibility for if new ideas come to me during drafting. As...

Usually my first step when writing stories is to know where they end, even if I have to break them up into volumes in order to achieve that. This way, even if I find plenty of smaller arcs for the characters to engage in during the course of things, the Outline is still relatively stable enough...

Story-telling. I was told I had fairly engaging methods by which to tell stories, and since I was pretty much breezing through writing assignments and enjoyed readinga I figured marrying the interests was inevitable. I gave a few drafts a chance before ultimately finding classes abdusting too...

I usually do all my notes and outline stuff handwritten simply cuz I can do it pretty fast before I forget stuff. I feed it into the ol desktop when I've got time to actually think about what I'm doing. From there it'll go through several rewrites through my writer group before I use some...
