    Character depth and character development in the story.

    There we go. See Im new to reading novels so, I had no idea that most horror novels used this tactic. I actually wanted to write horror novels now I don't know if I can go that in depth into characters so I may have to figure something else out.

    Character depth and character development in the story.

    Agreed. I just don't like cheesy or corny characters myself. Sometimes I don't want them to be totally just like in real life, and sometimes it works better for the type of story. I'll give one good example of what I'm talking about. Stephen King goes deep into the minds and lives of the...

    Character depth and character development in the story.

    Let me add that it also had an occult vibe to it and it was cool and taught me new things I found interesting. If I can learn interesting stuff from a novel and satisfy my curious mind then that's always a plus. That's understandable. lm realizing I do like some stories that have a lot of...

    Character depth and character development in the story.

    I am new to this ish, but so far my favorite novel has been Dan Brown's Davinci code. It almost reminds me of an indiana jones movie. I don't know why. But the reason I loved it so much was the plot. It was complicated, complex, as well as and it made u wonder what would happen next. The scenes...

    Character depth and character development in the story.

    I was just wondering what yalls opinions are on this. Me, personally, most of the time I enjoy stories that are more plot driven. I like a tad bit of character depth, and I don't usually care that much about character development. When I watch a movie or book I want to be entertained. I want to...

    My Introduction to Alan Moore

    I was on kindle searching for adult graphic novels as I was getting into art in addition to writing. It made me wonder why novels get so much respect amongst most adults such as myself, unlike comic books which are usually considered children's media. Japan has been making adult cartoons and...

    Finding my identity as an author

    Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. I tend to live my life by that adage. Jumping into something blindly is a big form of self-sabotage. Although, planning too much and never taking action as well can be another form of self-sabotage, it's very important to have balance. Some things can...

    The Mistakes I Made Publishing My First Book on Amazon

    It was during the plandemic lockdowns. People were either stuck in their homes trying to find something productive to do or stuck in their homes wasting time. I wrote a short novella within a two week span. It wasn't a work that I am proud of, although I can't beat myself up about it too bad...
