    Have you ever gotten addicted to writing a new novel?

    I'm definitely addicted to writing. Even though I don't have as much time as before because of my job so I'm not able to write every day anymore, I can't imagine ever putting down writing. It's both my hobby and obsession. My current webnovel has 347 923 words and it's still far from being...

    Why do so many BL novels do it?

    While I personally haven't come across the archetype you're describing (I guess I'm either lucky or read different genres), I also hate it when women in BL are shallow, sterotypical or almost non-existent. An extreme example of that is the vastly popular Junjou Romantica which contains exactly...

    I don't know where I'm going with my life anymore.

    Your symptoms sound a lot like burnout. I know because I've been there myself several years ago. It started slowly: being constantly overworked, then gradually losing interest in the job or any kind of motivation and the end result was severe depression and deteriorating overall health. There...

    How can a character use wings on combat?

    The protagonist of my novel Draconia Offline actually has huge angelic wings so I guess I have some experience on the matter I can share. I was trying to make it as realistic as possible (even though it's still pure fantasy) so his wingspan is 7.2 metres. I looked up some resources and...

    1st person or 3rd person

    I always write my stories in the 1st person because I feel I can connect with the protagonist more deeply that way. Of course, it has limitations like not being able to skip to different locations to see what other characters are doing but I still prefer it. As for reading, I don't really care...

    Do you prefer past tense or present tense?

    That's exactly what happened to me. After reading so many YA novels, present tense became invisible to me. I also think it depends on the situation. Epic fantasy or historical fiction with several points of view is naturally more suited for past tense. As for romance or horror, which are genres...

    Do you prefer past tense or present tense?

    Thanks for that comment, you make a very interesting point. I've never thought about it like that before. Always learning something new. And seeing how much the certain kind of stuff I read influences me.

    Oh, this is one of those more serious places I see. Readers on Tapas use emojis so much I got too used to them I guess.

    Oh, I've been here for quite some time now. ? I just wasn't that active on the forum (mostly reading passively). I mean to change that and engage more within the community. ? Thanks for your welcome, though. ?
