    I need advice on a book I'm writing.

    If I were to write a villain pov story, I'd try to write his reasoning for choosing such a path. I feel that if you can get your readers to empathize with the villain, no matter how atrocious their acts were, then you probably did well.

    What to do when too many story ideas

    I've just got a bunch of ideas pinned in my notes app, on my phone. Add a little bit of the outline that I might have thought of, then... Only write 1k words a day, for one of those ideas. Boom! Now it takes like 2 months to write a story and I come up with more ideas that will just gather...

    My writing process which allows me to churn out a chapter a day. Share yours!

    I look at the last chapter I wrote. Think about the basic plot I have stored in my mind and try to tie it together. Has it worked? Not particularly well, but at least it's not terrible. I'm contemplating actually planning out the story I'm currently writing, otherwise I'm worried I'll forget...

    What's a small detail in your novel that you're unreasonably proud of?

    I've added incest to like two completed stories thus far, and had people on other sites defend it. Give me 40 years and some unfinished sequels, I'll have a show on whatever the equivalent of HBO is by then.

    Asking for a certain tips on writing a sexual cultivation technique

    Isn't this akin to fox monsters in Chinese cultivation stories? They have the abilities of illusion, seduction, and spiritual manipulation. Not very powerful strength-wise, but barely anyone will not fall under their charms. That could be the method to try, otherwise I can't really see how...

    Sarcastic description of what happened in your story today. (Mega Thread)

    How many words do you usually write in a single chapter?

    1k per chapter. Takes about 40 minutes, and I post every 3 days. Probably have a lot more views if I updated daily, but just feels like a grind.

    Man.. is it okay for like a chapter to not have 1000+ words?

    My stories are all short. I've seen some people on here saying they pump out 8k+ words per chapter. I'd be done in like 4-5 chapters if I followed that guideline.

    Reader Reception: SH vs RR! (rant warning: f-bombs abound)

    I post everywhere. On some sites, my stories have very little traffic, some have a decent amount. Wattpad has given me the most views; the other sites are pretty meh (probably different interests). The new story I've been writing is hard sci-fi, and surprisingly has the most engagement on...

    How do I wrap up this character?

    Why does she need to be an ally to heal the emperor? A more fitting idea is simply to keep her imprisoned, and when the plot point arises for the emperor's need for healing, coerce her with the lives of the last few thousand elves. He may not be cold blooded, but no one wants to die if they...

    How do you drink your coffee?

    I don't touch the stuff.

    Binge reading a recently released story

    Completed!

    Seriously?

    Just don't read the comments. I only look at them like once a fortnight. If they're thanking me for the chapter? Sweet. If not? Meh, just go on with what I planned on doing.

    What sci-fi tropes/clichés do you hate/love the most

    Hate the AI will turn evil and massacre all of humanity trope. Would humans as distrusting as we are, really leave no way to control or destroy something we have little understanding of? Also, why does it seem a single explosive can solve a being that should have the entirety of the knowledge...

    This is why I hate humans

    Someone just put their own desires down onto an image and expected it to be used as an educational guide? The way my school taught sex Ed was grabbing some old teachers, handing them a few projector slides made in the 90s, and sending them into a room full of prepubescent brats. So, as long as...
