    Writing How does one get better at writing (as a non-native English speaker)?

    How did you get better at writing? Sailus is right that you need to read more good english stories. You can't learn school english. You need to learn the english of the day. Reading good books teaches you the most optimal form of english, depending on genre. Are there any sites/courses or...

    How much dating a person could go through in life

    You guys all make it sound like we're in the 80's. It's the age of smartphones and body counts exceeding 200. In the case that you somehow can't remember people's faces, despite all of us being extreme consumers of fiction and able to recall hundreds of characters, you have your smartphone. You...

    Any harem writers go all the way to the MC having kids with his harem?

    I think about it but I don't know yet. Kids are such handfuls unless you unload them on grandparents and nannies XD But yeah, it's definitely fun to think about. I do love the idea about the kids developing hierarchies for mothers like: Mom A is the person to go to for food Mom B is the nicest...

    For harem writers, how do you decide which girls actually get into a relationship with the MC?

    And I think this the approach to go for. Looking at trends that a publisher like Kadokawa promotes, we know this approach is the most profitable. Girls get their own arcs. Thankfully, we also know serialized novel readers crave length, so this isn't bad if everyone knows they're reading a harem...

    For harem writers, how do you decide which girls actually get into a relationship with the MC?

    Thanks to the alternate timeline storyline, we already know how this is going to go and who has Issei's children first, on top of how those children could relate to Issei and their mothers. Honestly, highschool DxD is a product of its time, but it has done a lot for harem light novels in the...

    For harem writers, how do you decide which girls actually get into a relationship with the MC?

    But... You could. 8 harem members isn't hard. It just changes the style of the story if you go for a big amount. Have you read any of the guys that do western harem lit? I know a few of them go into many. I also know that according to polls some of the more vocal readers, some of the sweet spots...

    For harem writers, how do you decide which girls actually get into a relationship with the MC?

    I write harem and make money doing it. A lot of times, I just know which ones are going to end up with him before writing. A lot of times, the girls have a different dynamic so that they have a set of behaviors that can be pretty quickly associated to them. In that sense, I don't put girls with...

    Amazon KDP page limitations suck!

    Did you try making the print font smaller? The more words you have, the more exponential the effect. Just have to cover the most basic solutions before moving on with options.

    Do Instinctive Writers Exist?

    100 % pantsing. The other side of the spectrum is plotters.

    inverse conversation

    Yeah, this shortage is wild. Mr Randy, Mr Simon, and Mr Paul were lined up outside head office. They were all sweating, like a mighty amount.

    If you have 15 minutes, I'd appriciate your feedback

    Just so that we're clear, audible will not sell AI narrated audiobooks if they notice its AI. Keep that in mind if you ever get the idea. As for patreon, I think it's a neat idea if you have an understanding audience. It doesn't hurt anyone and only gives people that would like it an option...

    SH Forum Lore #15

    Yo. If this is true... This is pretty toxic, isn't it? Paying money... to bother your significant other... to get him off of online forums... for a wedding, possibly yours... Instead of just talking to him? Anon had a problem where he needed to be harassed? If this is an act, then yay, that's...

    Your thoughts on how the Mashle: Magic and Muscles manga ended.

    ... Are you guys serious? Do you guys realize it's an over-exaggeration/satire of shonen jump battle shonen? The point of a good portion of the gags is the ridiculousness of shonen jump power escalation. The others staying relatively weak compared to mash is a direct result of how side...

    Your thoughts on how the Mashle: Magic and Muscles manga ended.

    Pretty good for what it was. The jokes didn't always land in translated manga form, but it was entertaining. The volume sales for the series peaked at volume 5 and each four week period became weaker and weaker. It also seemed to be going down in popularity, so it's good that it got a...

    Coping With Poor Reviews

    Friend, you need to chill. Then, understand that the best advice is to not engage with a reviewer. This kind of stuff rarely turns out well. If you think something is unfair, go through site operators. In your case, yeah, nah. You ain't your best advocate. Edit: Did you write your own tvtropes...
