    Minimal Encouragers in dialogue

    There are only few correct methods when it comes to dialogue - and the most important one is sound it out. Actually say it, and feel how it seems. Dialogue is not supposed to reflect real speech - but it is supposed to take the story somewhere, and yet it is very important that it sounds the...

    How do you deal with opinionated reviewers?

    Get a bigger nail. Or a gun. Preferably, Chekhov's.

    Your Characters Alignment

    My MC is for sure Chaotic Neutral. Alignments are guidelines, and I often imagine their alignment based on how they will shop with me. Chaotic Neutrals will go to every shop that there is, and pick out things in random. There is a movie to watch in about an hour. They will continue to shop...

    Can people just limit themselves to quotations? Please. This -quote- don't work. There is a reason there is quotations. It's unreadable otherwise. [This is also not a quote]. Sorry, Trinary, just hijacking this to vent a bit.

    Perfectionism ruined me.

    Not to add to the already (considerably) long posts here, it's okay to remain in a world if you're building them well. It's not just okay to write a bad first novel, it's important! It's called a first draft! Writing by its very nature is a considerate activity - you need time. Yet, this process...

    Important Alerts no longer refresh in the background by default

    Thank you. We can always come back to answer the alerts! On the brighter side, a lot of server load means lot more people coming over to the forums.... hopefully?

    Writing Is this interesting? Should I pursue this?

    This is basically the main conflict of Wheel of Time, but Rand, the MC, is not an isekai. Also, not a shut-in, so go ahead. It will be interesting.

    Have you ever gotten bored of a story you are working on but don't want to stop because the readers keep requesting it?

    Some stories just need to be told. If it gets really tedious, then perhaps it is time to stop. But, otherwise you do want to push through the "boring" parts of a novel. It's what writing is all about. There is no way one will find inspiration or delight in doing the same sort of work everyday...

    So, how many projects you pretend to be currently working on?

    I'm working on 69 stories. Now, that I have your attention, please read the only one I'm publishing. :sweating_profusely: But, I am trying to make at least 3 more. Working on them every week. I think the true sense is to work everyday. And that's the real target in practicing any hobby!

    Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Creeps in the petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time.
