Just something I was thinking about a lot recently. I started writing as a hobby in college. At the time, I wrote a couple of series - one of which I ended up going all the way and completing. This was where I gained the basis of my writing experience, with a whole bunch of trial and error...

My mother works as a school substitute, so I often hear stories about children who have behavior issues. One particularly common theme is that the children who have only one parent or who have irresponsible parents that don't give them attention will act out in order to receive attention from...

Exciting times. After finishing my first story, Undetermined, which lasted quite a long time, I took a break from writing. But I am now back in the game, and am writing my 2nd story! I'm so excited to create a new world with new characters and a new overarching plotline. I've finally posted...

So, I've seen a lot of isekai where people get reincarnated as monsters and strange objects and then have to cope with living as said monster, but what if an isekai were done where said monster was reincarnated as a human and had to learn about human society? Say a spider who only is used to...

So, to give a bit of context, I wrote (And I say wrote because I've finished writing it), a litRPG dark fantasy series, and comedy is something that has always been an interesting part of the writing experience for me. So when I first started writing my series, I'll be honest- my comedy was...

So I posted a certain poll on a different site to get people's views on a certain topic, and here were the results. As you can see, there were a total of ZERO people out of 13 who prefer a story that focuses on description over dialogue. Now, perhaps it was the user base of this particular...

So, as far as I am aware, NTR is essentially a trope where you have a character who has a love interest (Usually the protagonist), and another character (Usually the antagonist) who steals said love interest from the character. This usually leads to a scenario of some sort of revenge plot...

Ok so it seems obvious. A wish fulfillment story is a story in which the characters are trying to fulfill some sort of major goal or wish, but the thing that confuses me about this genre is- what story out there are the main characters not trying to fulfill their goals? I mean, if there is...

So I've been thinking about a certain cliche which I wanted to discuss a little. The villain is convinced by the mc to give up his evil ways. The mc forgives the villain and they become friends. When I first saw this cliche I thought it was awesome and loved it, but as I saw it over and over...

You know... Can you imagine how painful it would be to write a series with another author? I personally can't even imagine how horrible that would be. Nothing would ever be agreed upon. One person would want to do one thing, and the other another. Gives me shivers just thinking about how...

So, this is going to be a little rant of mine on something that annoys me. That is, the typical shonen protagonist. What do I mean by this? Well, there is something that simply annoys me about characters who are just straight up 'good'. I personally hate it when a protagonist is always...

So I was editing one of my chapters today and at a certain point I wrote an arc that was like not focused on my mcs at all, and after I finally got back to them after a long time I wrote this entire 900 word description of them as they just walked through the town they created which I personally...

So, I have an unpopular opinion. I hate harems. The way I see it, there are a few different ways that harems can play out. 1. The main character is completely and absurdly dense, to the point where all the women in the harem fall in love with him only for him to be like 'Love? What is that...

As a reader, do you have any preference as to how far along the story is when you first start it? Do you want to start a story with only 1 chapter released, and then view it ongoing as each chapter gets released, or does this discourage you from reading a story if there is only a single chapter...

Do you plan an overarching plot, and fill in the details as you go? Do you try to plan out a set of big scenes, and build up to them? Do you just write one chapter at a time, and see where it takes you? At one point or another in my writing career, I've written using all of these types of...
