What's the meaning of life?

Within my current story, a very large part of the universe's history is that humanity was waging a war that lasted half a century. Because of this, I initially thought it would be kinda fun to have every bit of worldbuilding have a militaristic twist to it. So I decided to combine a kilometer...

No. I'm too bad at math to have to constantly subtract one reader (which would be myself in this scenario) from the number of current readers I have. Also, I don't want to review my story or give it a star rating because I will take my readers doing that as the day that I've finally "made it"...

I've never been able to write without music, and it is definitely a bad habit because of how distracted I get trying to find a perfect song or playlist that goes with what I'm writing lol. If you're looking for atmosphere and emotion, it doesn't get much better than HEALTH in my opinion. I...

Same lol. Honestly... I'd probably be dead before my first chapter even happens.

For me, the primary thing is just for the story to be compelling or interesting. That can be done in any number of ways, but I think fiction works best when it explores the human experience in a unique way. For example, in "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka, the main character awakens as a bug...

I have a lot, but these are the ones that still stick with me the most:

Science fiction, fantasy, drama, and horror

Hi! These are great questions, and I want to take time to answer them because I find them really interesting. Pacing: I like to think of my series overall as a long-running tv show in the fact that, like an episode of television, every chapter has to both build on the previous one, set up the...

I very nearly put 7, but I think I lean more towards a more symbolic or thematic ending that either wraps up the character arcs of the main cast while still leaving some of the plot stuff open, or tries to tie everything back to the start in a sort of "we have grown (or regressed) as people, but...

A curse known as "The Rusting" is rapidly corroding all metal in the universe, and despite no one knowing how it started, the Emperor of one of the human governments has claimed responsibility for manufacturing it.

Swords are really the only other one that immediately pops into my mind besides shields. Sure, you can use a sword for attack, but most swordfights usually involve a lot of parrying and blocking as well. There's also that awesome scene in the Fellowship of the Ring movie where Aragorn deflects...

Yes and no. They know that I write things, but they don't know that I post my writing anywhere.

Quality is subjective, but I'm not going to miss out on the chance for self-promo: The Rusting : (Robots and Revenge)

Oh, so that's how the ever mysterious trending algorithm works!

A small combination of both. I make general bullet point outlines of ideas and storybeats, and then try to fill in the gaps, which sometimes leads to new ideas popping up. Those new ideas usually happen because I realized that what I had planned either doesn't fit with the current...

Of course I have one, it won't shut up!

I absolutely love stories like this! However, I do think it's best to keep it contained to one series as opposed to multiple, mainly just for ease of access and because multi-pov can be fun. I'm trying to do something like this within my own series, where it starts off following only two...

I think that I describe my characters as sighing, gasping, and huffing way too much. But I often can't think of other dialogue descriptors, so I settle for everyone being incredibly out of breath... Also, I've noticed that I default to hands for emotion a lot? "Their hands clenched," "They...

I tend to even avoid reading the genre in general, not because I have any resentment against it, but because I am incredibly bad with numbers lol. Even looking at a stats sheet makes my mind go blank.
