Hey everyone! I've been sick so I haven't had time to read, but now that I've beaten back whatever this flu or cold was, I'll be slowly getting back to this. ^^ In this particular case, I would have spent a bit more time describing their wild hand gestures. I just think the phrasing itself just...

Yeah, agreed. I'm of the belief you should really just write the things that you want to write and hopefully that's enough. I was mostly speaking aloud that I'm losing interest in something that I was initially pretty onboard with, and I didn't want it to be a situation where my loss of interest...

This is actually something I've been thinking about lately, and I'm trying not to let it affect me. If a work of mine gets lower readership, do I suddenly like it less? I would hope not, but the thought does cross my mind. Currently, I'm losing motivation to work on certain projects, but I want...

I'm not a big fan of the perspective switch at the beginning. It's difficult to understand how disoriented Cain is when Feick is the initial point of contact. I'd also work on some of the grammar and word choice in the opening lines. There are a couple of run ons, and I'm not a fan of the phrase...

I like stories that shift perspectives to multiple different people, so I like that you kind of just divide things to give us that clean break into multiple different POVs. Reminds me of a lot of the science fantasy that I read as a kid. You set the stage well for that shounen-action vibe and I...

My first thought when I read this was I think the opening passages could be a lot stronger if you had a firmer handle on what you wanted the tone of your piece to be. At times, I get the impression you want it to be sickening and putrid, with phrases like "thick black sludge passes tastelessly,"...

Hey there, I'm Kaisei!! I asked for feedback in another thread and wanted to return the favor in some way. I read a lot and have done some soft editing for writing friends with their debut novels and/or webnovel projects. Post your links here if you want feedback. Let me know how much you want...

I budget time for writing, but I don't write every day (I personally don't think you should). I think of it more like averages. If over the course of a week, I get say, 7,000 words in, that's essentially the equivalent of 1,000 words a day, even if I only wrote two or three of the days. Setting...

I think some people definitely think a bit too hard about the meaning behind their characters' names and not the meaning behind what they do or how they sound. I personally just go for choosing names that I think sound nice.

Thanks for providing feedback! This is a project I'm working on at the moment. :) https://www.scribblehub.com/read/849690-the-novelist-dead/chapter/852269/

This is mostly just a matter of perspective and objectives, because it depends on what you mean by external validation. Does validation mean landing your story in some kind of journal or magazine or does it mean having lots of fans? In the case of the latter, people say that writing to market is...

I disagree with this statement strongly. I actually think English is one of the less restrictive languages precisely because of the volume of words that it has at its disposal. I don't know who said it, but there was an author that once said something to the effect that once you have an...

Hi everyone, I'm Kaisei. I usually write short stories and novellas, but I've been branching out to work on longer term projects. My current project involves a story about an author who ends their life to unleash their ouevre on the world and his literary theorist ex-wife who has to clean up...
