One of the hardest things to do for any author is to start a story.
But there are three common ways to help kick start your story and today I will be discussing In Medias Res, a form of writing that begins in the middle of the story with an already established main character. I'll be also be...
Do any of you have tips for resizing images?
I got a cover recently but it is way higher that megabyte bar set by Scribble Hub's rules and I was hoping I could get some help in resizing it.
I thought I'd be fun to tack on to the lore here, so why not describe a favorite scribble hub user as a mythical beast.
However the catch is the next poster has to guess who you are describing, whether you want it to be easy or not is up to you.
I'll start:

Well now hopefully the mods won't lock this thread, I would like to start off by applauding @CupcakeNinja for his work and improvement in skill with the alternative route compared to the original

"Katow one million times and call me Grandpa!" -- Every Young Master trope ever.
I don't understand how this is considered insulting at all. Is it because elders are highly venerated in many Asian cultures?
Can someone help me understand these supposed insults?

Ask me anything, I would like to strike up a conversation with anyone here.
Whether it be about me, history, games, anime shit, writing advice, philosophy. I am all for it.
When it comes to mage or magic users protagonists what do you think is the most overused magic type for them; and how would you change how said magic works to make it more interesting.
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to review my story 'Epic of a Dragonknight' I have finally released chapter five, due to being out of college currently, and was wondering if I could have feedback on what I currently have. That does mean all five chapters.
