Muse dropped a new song today, and it's pretty good.

I do this constantly... The main thing I try to do is keep it consistent and keep it organized. I have a notebook that is literally just a list of major characters' initials and the corresponding chapter numbers where I want those characters to appear. It looks something like this: S, J 101...

I started uploading chapters of my first volume daily on RoyalRoad about two months ago (I plan to switch to the same schedule I have over here once that volume is up), and so far, views have been surprisingly roughly the same as on here. With one major difference. I have more readers here, but...

I know it's been a while, but I feel like I should share that this is what I ended up changing the synopsis to: I still might make some revisions to it, and I'd be glad to get more advice, but I think I'm happy with its current state. (for now, at least)

I do like yours a lot, and I think that I will take a similar approach. I have the whole plot element of the Rusting curse, so I think that's my centerpiece. If I can somehow attach the key characters to it, I may be able to get something I'm happy with. This may mean focusing in on either the...

Recently, I've begun to question how to market my story, and this has caused me to think that I'm not even currently presenting it properly. The story itself is an ensemble with a cast of rotating POV characters whose plotlines all overlap and weave in and out of each other as the narrative...

What's the meaning of life?

Within my current story, a very large part of the universe's history is that humanity was waging a war that lasted half a century. Because of this, I initially thought it would be kinda fun to have every bit of worldbuilding have a militaristic twist to it. So I decided to combine a kilometer...

No. I'm too bad at math to have to constantly subtract one reader (which would be myself in this scenario) from the number of current readers I have. Also, I don't want to review my story or give it a star rating because I will take my readers doing that as the day that I've finally "made it"...

I've never been able to write without music, and it is definitely a bad habit because of how distracted I get trying to find a perfect song or playlist that goes with what I'm writing lol. If you're looking for atmosphere and emotion, it doesn't get much better than HEALTH in my opinion. I...

Same lol. Honestly... I'd probably be dead before my first chapter even happens.

For me, the primary thing is just for the story to be compelling or interesting. That can be done in any number of ways, but I think fiction works best when it explores the human experience in a unique way. For example, in "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka, the main character awakens as a bug...

I have a lot, but these are the ones that still stick with me the most:

Science fiction, fantasy, drama, and horror

Hi! These are great questions, and I want to take time to answer them because I find them really interesting. Pacing: I like to think of my series overall as a long-running tv show in the fact that, like an episode of television, every chapter has to both build on the previous one, set up the...
