    Does the Art Quality of the Novel Cover attract more readers?

    I feel like creativity in a cover is very important. You can have a very pretty or handsome anime character or a weird setting but when something is particularly curious or different or provocative or intriguing that's what's going to particularly grab a reader. A lot of fantasy novels all have...

    The Use of A.I. in writing novels

    I don't think that's the method of AI people are concerned about. Its more LLMs where it makes the story and there's little author input. Those are somewhat questionable. Using AI for the rewriting process is something I do with Grammarly/Quillbot/and DeepL. I use them to rephrase certain...

    How to increase the quality of writing style

    I can see what you mean very quickly. You're describing things but there's no reason for why these descriptions are being told. One thing you can focus on is limit the omniscience of the narrator. Paired down on details. Decide when you want to reveal a thing. Writing practice is a huge benefit...

    Which is the scene you are most proud of having written?

    Character's valiant last stand against the forces of evil trying to take over her mind. So she uses her imagination to hold them off as long as possible and talks back. I stood up again. "Well, my name is Layla...Archabean...Regalia...Eggers...and I am the weakest thing you will ever fight. So...

    Writing tip and advice that didn't work.

    It's kind of my own advice but to write every single day. That just does not work. It works for Brandon Sanderson and Steven King. There's gonna be days where you need to take a break and process what you wrote. And there will be some days nothing will stop you.

    Daily Wins Mega Thread

    I wrote one of the coolest paragraphs I've ever imagined and then to follow it up my muse deposited not only a story idea about a fantasy elf in the modern day as an anime but she gave me a fight scene with the most badass line given to a character I've ever seen. I'm tempted to share it because...

    Progression of Story Ideas & Concepts

    One thing I try to keep in mind whenever I write used to have one idea which stays the same through all drafts. Things can still evolve and good writing is where you don't know where it's going to go on any given day but you're willing to think on your feet and fuse things together so that they...

    Is there any proofreading website worth paying for?

    Here are the links to the two I mentioned by the way https://www.deepl.com/write-mobile - this one I initially found on here actually and my caveat is it kinda sucks but offers multiple ideas for rephrasing and I think it's actually learning over time. Most of the time it's kind of dumb but if...
