    Onomatopoeia

    Onomatopoeia are very useful for visceral sounds, but I feel like certain sounds that exceed the human hearing threshold, such as gunshots and car crashes, should be described as opposed to having an onomatopoeia associated with them. For example I used "KHEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" as a sound effect...

    Any insecurities you authors have about your novels?

    I feel like the title of my novel is deceptive to its contents, but I don't know how to fix the issue. In addition, my paragraphs usually end up a bit too long as I can't seem to find a proper stopping point to break them up in a way that won't be so long.

    Been gone for like 4 months. How long have you been away for?

    Welcome back! Everyone has problems with motivation sometimes, I took over a month break recently as well. As long as you are writing what you want to then your motivation should be easier to maintain, but if you are basing the worth of your novel on things such as view count or reviews other...

    Bloodshed and Backstories

    It is easier to explain the motivations/abilities of the MC if they have a larger traumatic/dynamic event that occurs to them, something that will lead the reader by the hand so that they understand "Oh, I get it, if that happened to me I would turn out the same". A strong example of this is in...

    Writing Making my first novel.

    I think that the most important thing is to have a love for what you are doing and to continually seek improvement in your skills that you excel in while also improving the areas in which you are lacking. If you can't find the motivation to write, then everything else goes by the wayside because...

    So how about John wick

    My story that I'm currently writing doesn't directly feature John Wick, though a lot of the fight scenes, gun fighting, and martial arts scenes may be very close to it in subject matter. I haven't specifically used a pencil yet, though I have done quite a few other things (pencil usage may be...

    Forgotten Title Marinara Sauce

    Sounds a lot like "Nishino – The Boy At The Bottom Of The School Caste And Also At The Top Of The Underground" but that's all that I can think of. Best of luck

    Recommendations Your works?

    Plugging. Not sure how to describe it, though my title sure sucks at the moment. Please give it a try if you want a change of pace, and please comment if you have the inclination. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/145237/splitting-grains/ Cheers, Karver

    [Fallout: NV] Ceaser's Legion is a literal joke taken too far

    Ave, true to Caesar . . . All that aside I think that a melee focused faction has a pretty strong place as fast as conceivability is concerned. It also does wonders from a game balance perspective. Honestly, the only thing that I really don't get is the aversion to technology that they have.

    What Good Thing Happened Today?

    I finally started writing again after a long absence, and I tried SH for hosting because I'm on NU lot. Got 3 little chapters, a bit over 2k words, done in a day. Oh, and I already got a comment on my story, so that's something to be happy about :)
