You can get tired of a single character if you constantly listen to their whining or watch their overwrought epicness. For a while, I was interested in the idea of describing the same scene multiple times from different perspectives. But only as a novelty. In general, this is a bad approach. Now...

It's all nonsense. When you're thrown off track by a simple, "nobody will read you," it means you're unsure of your own story. Firstly, criticism must be objective. So if people won't read you because of the main character's hair colour, that already sounds like nonsense. So, first of all, you...

It looks like a prologue. I create short interludes with characters whose POV will not be constant, temporary.

I think this approach is practically the same as "first-person." It doesn't really make it any better. I do allow myself to add more of my own thoughts and sometimes take a detached view of the situation without delving into the main character's thoughts. But there's a fine line here. When you...

I made a slight mistake with the topic. There are different types of lag when using the website and when using the statistics.

I think it depends on the implementation, not the type. If it's a slime, it won't look very good as a puddle.

I think it depends on the country and the time. Sometimes there are no problems, and sometimes I have to turn on the VPN.

Should this scene be placed at the beginning or later, when you've built up to it? Generally speaking, cluttering the beginning of a story with something that won't be part of it is a bad approach for a general audience. But for those who understand it, it doesn't matter. I was in a situation...

When I first started writing, I was writing about 5,000 words. I was using Overlord as a reference. But after I parsed it all down, I was able to distill the idea into a single 2,500-word chapter. Now I'm trimming everything down to make the narrative more engaging. In the rough draft, the...

Classics like to say, "Anyone can become a writer." Have you chosen the wrong path? my story is not over. But with those little in-between endings, I have different feelings. Sometimes I feel disappointed that the other option didn't work out. Sometimes I feel excited about something I've been...

Why?

It's funny. But the more problematic the text is, the more attention it gets. Compared to mine, you have nothing to worry about. What about motivation. It's strange if you don't feel satisfied with the attention you already have. If you're lacking in narrative, start with the mundane. This is...

It all depends on the mood of both. I think we should leave a set of rules somewhere for how to handle such cases. Someone might deliberately point out a non-existent error or a slipped-up typo. Others simply won't understand. What exactly? The wording of the text or the complexity of the...

... Тhe story began like this: several elderly women gathered at the entrance of a high-rise building to grumble. The next day, a guy wearing headphones and hard-soled sandals goes to take out the trash. The old ladies follow him and grab him. The police witness the attack and arrest the old...

That's cool, thanks.
