    How far along is your story?

    Working on my Chapter 19. Work & life’s been stressful recently & I feel like I’m fighting myself as I’m writing/editing this chapter :blob_teary:

    Solo leveling hot takes

    Having good art isn’t enough to make me want to sit through the whole story. If I want to read/watch about a badass mc in dungeons, I’d much rather reread/rewatch The King’s Avatar

    Tell me about the theme of your story!

    Mine’s tradition vs change. Certain arcs focus on a different look at this theme. Here’s a few of mine: ‘How badly do things need to go for someone to accept what worked for them doesn’t anymore?’ ‘What happens when you change too quickly and reject the system that got you where you are?’...

    New Year Resolution Mega Thread! (2024)

    Congrats on a productive day 1! I finished my rough draft for a chapter today, finished reading a volume of a book and did some chores! If I have time, I’m gonna do more planning for my next arc :blob_melt:

    New Year Resolution Mega Thread! (2024)

    I have a lot and I’m already getting headaches thinking about it LOL. I might have to change it to something even smaller eventually. 1. Write & edit 3000 words a week. 2. Read 52 Books this year. 3. Write multiple short stories/one shots as practice/fanfic. 4. Find a writing group eventually...

    Okay! I'm going to put this under spoiler since you said it's an excerpt from a recent chapter. Did you edit the excerpt? It's shorter than I remember :er_what_s:. I'm fine with what you had earlier, I just haven't gotten the time to sit down and read through the whole thing! Feel free to...

    It makes sense now that you explained it, but I wouldn't have gotten that meaning from the paragraph since he was thinking about one subject (the pendant) and how he was grateful for it saving his life but then shifts to thinking about another (the worthlessness of the battle) without a clear...

    I’m going to first summarize what I think is happening in the scene, so feel free to correct me here if I get anything wrong. Callid is one of the 400 knights dispatched to fight against the vampire girl and the beast demon. Callid mentioned a precious pendant that saved him in the past. The...

    I’m back shamelessly stealing ideas from Reddit :blobthumbsup:. The title says it, share any 333 word excerpt of your story and I’ll tell you what I think! I’m not a grammar person, so don’t expect that. I will tell you what I think about your character/s, the flow of your scene and other things...

    Writing Can Be Hard

    As a very disorganized person, outlines and bullet points work great for me so I don’t go completely off tangent. I pull up a nice ambience music as I’m writing and search through YouTube for tips. I ask forums/discord/reddit for help if I’m stuck on a particular scene (thank you for everyone...

    Tips on writing fight scenes?

    Yeah. It’s tricky to find a balance between making it immersive with details and showing MC’s thoughts while still keeping it fast paced :blob_teary:

    Tips on writing fight scenes?

    Tips on writing fight scenes?

    Just a good-old fighting in the back alley with fists. I'm describing the scene with senses, using props and varying movements for the characters. Any other tips to make it feel realistic? I'm reaching about 1000 words of just the fight scene. Is this too long? Help :blob_blank:
