If it's in first person? I prefer to be told when the POV shifts. If it's 3rd person omniscient, naw, context clues are fine.

Would you show it to your boss at your day job? That's what Safe For Work means. Would you be able to get away looking at it in a professional work space? Think of your readers who are scrolling on their lunch break for something to read and tag accordingly. You should heed the warnings of...

The Deathless | Scribble Hub Isekai/Fantasy Ex: "She had missed her first shot. The thought of leaving without her prey brought hot shame to her face, but she was managing to keep it at bay, for now. Following a hurt game into the White Death and coming back out with its carcass was necessary...

Your first draft isn't your final draft. There's a writing style known as 'snowflake' writing. You write the basic things first (like one-sentence summaries of scenes) from start to finish. Then you go back and make the outline more complex. Then go to each of those sentences and build them out...

Someone falling into insta love with an unconscious person they never talked to before, especially if the person falling in love is in a healer/doctor/nurse role. I get that attraction is something some people can't control, but so often the narrator/POV doesn't address the ethical...

If it's digital, I'll usually base paint off of a reference. Then, if I want to change the direction/color of the lighting, I'll throw a few layers over the entire piece on multiply or light opacity. Then you can carve where the light should go with the eraser tool and blend the edges. You can...

I actually print out and hand bind the stories that mean the most to me. I've had a few hard drive crashes and account hack scares in my lifetime. Waaaay back in the day my rough drafts would be hand written, but I got impatient over the years. So, base on how my family hands family records...

Depends on who's initiating and when the characters confessed. If it's your taster Thiris has excellent jumping off points for descriptions. Just paint that with the brush of the characters personal experience. Have they dreamt about this moment before, or is it a heat of the moment thing? Have...

Boy oh boy, when I tell you the things I put my whole heart in will connect strongly with like one guy, I really appreciate that one guy. Then the stuff I make on a whim gets liked by the right person and that's the one people want follow ups for. It's like that with art too. I got one print...

I usually will include a vital character moment when they're traveling, something the characters share or see that changes them if I really need a travel scene. If the scene would be static walking in the woods, I time skip.

Short sentences are good for action scenes. I wouldn't use "thunder" twice in such a small section. In general there's a focus on sound. Adding some other senses will make the scene feel more real. (Is the metal ground cold or hot, what does the meat taste like, what does the arena smell...

What do you want your readers to feel about the scene? (arousal, laughter, fear, disgust, etc) That will be your guiding light for what adjectives you want to use and what you're focusing on. Are you trying to showcase the character's vulnerability, desire, or care for the other person...

Delphi studying three types of divination at one time.

Chapter 2.2

I think anytime someone writes or makes art to be popular, they've already sabotaged their process. There is no amount of popularity that will ever be enough, no amount of money or views that will cure someone of imposter syndrome or manufacture a sense of belonging. The study of creative...
