    Writing Is it normal to change pov too frequenly in one chapter??

    I wouldn't head hop between paragraphs, that kills the immersion. Also add some sort of indicator, a break line, or something so the reader knows the pov changed. The issue I find with switching povs is that most of the time, the reader is not invested in the other characters apart from the MC...

    I think I might be on the beginnings of a burnout

    Lack of an outline or plan. Or maybe you wrote something you don't like and now fighting yourself to continue when you don't like the direction the story is going. For the first take a few days to list all the major events until the end of the book or arc, that way you can always refer to that...

    The Fat Elf's Review Emporium

    Uff, took me a while, life's been keeping me busy. Hum, this one starts interesting, and it is short enough read that I actually liked. Grammar is also good, even if the style caught me off guard. That said, there are a few things to note. The style is a bit strange, not bad, just different...

    How do I stop procrastinating?

    On another note, I find I have trouble writing when I don't know what to write. I've taken to creating goals for each arc, even if I don't think of the small details. For example: Arc N, MC needs to reach X. Whenever I'm struggling to write, I stop and ask myself: What needs to happen for MC...

    How do I stop procrastinating?

    You can't. It is inevitable. Jokes aside, disconnect your internet, close your door, sit down and write. If your computer is still distracting you, get a notebook and a pen and write somewhere isolated. Or put music, that helps sometimes.

    How to get a novel cover art for free

    If you have an idea what cover you want, send me the details and I'll run some images tomorrow on Stable Diffusion. A few details: AI has trouble with complex instructions, so simple is best. Also, give me the style and description of what character you want on the cover. Can't promise it will...

    The Fat Elf's Review Emporium

    The story starts nice. Arlan reads like a young kid in the start, however, what with chasing butterflies. (I read a bit more, and yes, he’s just a small kid :D) Here is a few things I picked up: Using “as” to say things happen at the same time. I’d say to read this blog post about it. It makes...

    The Fat Elf's Review Emporium

    I like the introduction overall, even if I don’t know much yet about what can happen. A shift mentor to teach stuff, a amnesiac naive boy, and a evil tree trying to corrupt the boy. Has the grounds for a good story. Oke, things I picked up while listening to your chapter. Passive voice...

    I wanted to become a freelancer artist but I'm not confident on my drawings

    Have you tried control net with Stable Diffusion? It lets you use a image reference for the pose, which lets you create some nice images.

    Id say create your commission page on your platform of choice and put examples of your work. Make sure ppl know what they are ordering before they do. Can't complain about it if they saw examples and still wanted your drawings. Cheers and keep up!
