Death by torture, I suppose. Washboarding, sensory deprivation, starvation, barbs and whips, chains, psychological maiming, isolation, potential dismemberment, diseased blood loss, helplessness, a complete and utter lack of agency. . . Drawn out over a very, very long time. Since I'm female...

Hmm... Charlotte, probably.

Like I said, what you hear in the music isn't necessarily what I hear. I understand it's an orchestral-remix-trap-song, but it also sounds plenty epic and intense in tone? If you don't see it that way, then let's just agree to disagree and leave it at that. It's a shame nothing anyone is...

Lmao, genres mix and match. There's only so many categories you can have~ Post rock just has more general intensity, which seemed to be the main component of your sample. If your britches are really in a bunch, look at other video game music. They're all fairly dramatic and epic in tone...

Sounds vaguely like post rock, maybe a bit of alt rock, except with a full orchestra. Can't say I have any specific playlists saved that sound exactly like this, but a quick search found this: Best of luck searching. I think it's best if you just wander around some genres (alt rock, post...

'TYPORAMA' Well, if that isn't the cherry on type-- a watermark. If nothing else, at least 'Brian' serves his stupidity proportionately in entertainment value.

Not to the level of outright dislike, but between my name and me, there exists a bit of a gap. If you called out my name in a room, I would probably not notice. Rather than an issue with how my parents named me, however, I'd say it's just an interesting quirk of mine to not be attached to it...

Mhm. If I may add my take to the mix, none of this advice seems like something the OP could implement right now. Rather than fixing everything or continuing full throttle, I think they just simply don't know what they're doing. It's true that there are, objectively, no rules in writing, but you...

Certainly an interesting idea. Can't say I'd recommend executing it, seeing as I doubt very few of us on this site could pull it off. You might be able to, but it would require a few (well done) things, just to name a few from the top of my head: An apocalyptic end that is absolutely...

Some general advice I've heard on this -> Start with a bang. Whether said bang is loud, soft, squeaky or a leaky propane bazooka hastily assembled on a rooftop depends on your story and your story's tone. You'll only attract a specific niche/genre with the synopsis that you have in the first...

I use Zoho Docs. It has an auto-sync feature, you can work offline, and it has an advanced writing feedback system integrated into the platform.

I have around eight of them, three who consistently read anything I write; five who follow along with a specific project. They catch me, specifically this one friend of mine, whenever there's a lack of visual information. But the rather hilarious thing is that my writing style completely...

Sigh Thanks for the reply; looks like there aren't any easy loopholes after all. I have my own system that I can reasonably bs my way through description competently, but it is always a struggle.

Hm, hm, many tricks indeed. My dear OP, I have a trick question for you (for a friend, cough) as well; whaaatt if the author has aphantasia? All of those tips and tricks require visualization~~

That's too long of a block of text to reply to for my mere mortal fingers. @BlackKnightX I like simple prose as much as I like beautiful prose; they're both awesome in different ways. The main point was to keep it sweet~ Not necessarily short, but sweet. Follow our dear Buddha and keep to the...
