I just set up a premise, get a few ideas of how the story goes, write out every plot point, and... WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?! It's now off the rails as following them ruined the narrative flow. In all seriousness though, I just give a basic premise and work from there. I really hate outlining; I...

Funny thing is, when I write, I tend to just play out their interactions in my head. It's sort of like they're actors in my own mind. I write out the scene and setting, and just show how they talk, act, and interact with their surroundings. It's pretty fun too, and I find them more believable...

I feel a bit of guilt, and a bit of heartache as that character I wrote was someone I enjoyed because of how close they were to the MC. I realize that yeah, I do have to kill them off as it is important for the MC's growth as a person. If life were to be ideal to the MC, they would forget the...

Google docs. Mainly because I like to write on my phone using a wireless keyboard with a phone doc and like writing for a mental break at work. Plus, Microsoft Word in terms of its mobile app is just BAD. No really, the UI and navigation is abysmal compared to the mobile app for Google Docs. I...

AI is useful for pointing out grammatical mistakes and plot consistency errors (NotebookLM has been quite useful for that and prevented logical errors within my works). However, anything other than that, I absolutely abhor. Having an AI do something for you (i.e. writing your story, creating...

Spending way too much time being so hyper-focused on one worldbuilding subject that I overdo it (I literally spent months studying scientific articles regarding circumbinary planets for a fictional setting and several more months making the mechanics for a TTRPG that I postponed development...

In fact, I'm now inspired to write something absolutely ridiculous.

I find it fascinating. I remember a series called Pendragon: Journal of an Adventure through Time and Space (look it up on Wikipedia, pretty long title) that had an underwater world called Cloral in the second book (The Lost City of Faar). Been a while since I last read it (I think it was in...

If it is a parody of something, YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Amen to that brother!

Clanker has been reported!

Yeah, just reported that bot.

Don't know who's going to read this, but I had the weirdest experience recently. I had a message from some rando in my inbox saying "Your writing is impressive, don't lose your spark." I thought that was just a genuine compliment and thanked them. Then they had this "idea" about some scene for...

Sorry. I tried linking my Royal Road account (apparently automod did not like that). To answer your question, yes, they are being uploaded both on Royal Road and on Scribble Hub. It will just be the complete works (or mostly complete as I often catch errors post-launch lol) Both my Royal Road...

Yeah, they are on Royal Road. Currently it's one story posted (that is completed) which is being uploaded. My profile description on ScribbleHub (has the same name) has a link to my Royal Road page. I'll post it here for reference: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/910599
