    How do you feel about character-driven stories compared to plot-driven stories?

    While I do think stories definitely tend to have a focus, every good story has both. If there is no plot whatsoever what drives the character (their motivation and ambition is a plot) and the same thing the other way - a god plot with dull characters is nothing. I don't even see why your premise...

    Is it just me or are action scenes a cheat code?

    For me it depends on how strong a view I have of the scene prior to start writing. Sometimes action is easiest, sometimes smut is easiest, sometimes dialogue is easiest. It all depends on how much I have to figure out while writing, and how strong the vision in my head is - sometimes I can do 3k...

    Text alignment won't be set correctly on table in latest chapter

    In the chapter title Chapter 1.33 - To The Village in my story Tower of Passion, I have a table with some text in it. The line of text that starts with [Empowerment] refuses to center align, even if in the editor is shown as center aligned. I have tried to realign it, move it various places...

    The limits of a writer's imagination: Can Characters Surpass Their Creators in Intelligence?

    Oh absolutely, my posy was already long and to me that isn't part of can you do it - more on how well its executed. As with anything you can do, doing it badly didn't mean you didn't do it. You just did a poor job. But yes, as with any quality or power of a character, bad buildup and setting of...

    The limits of a writer's imagination: Can Characters Surpass Their Creators in Intelligence?

    Of course, but that isn't about writing a character smarter than the author is, that's just being a competent writer. Your statement here is true for any characters you gave to establish that their actions make sense and they don't just ge thandwaved through. If they're dumb or smart. You can...

    How fast did your novel take off?

    I have gotten around 600 readers in 22 days since i posted my first written chapter anywhere, which is far more than I expected and absolutely unbelievable and at least in my head is 'taking off' Kinda scary. I was just hoping a few people would like my lil story and it seems to be more than a few.

    The limits of a writer's imagination: Can Characters Surpass Their Creators in Intelligence?

    Ofcourse you can. The author knows everything in the world, ans while they would be dumber than the character in the world they decide what the character knows. They also have tools to find a solution and can write a character having found tbe solution without those tools. I can Google a really...
