For my writing, the most unhinged thing I could say about me is that I spent something along the lines of a few months deeply researching folklore from all over the world while also trying to find ways to integrate the celtic Fae, the Appalachian Skinwalkers/Skinstealer and Wendigo, the russian...

Hmmm, that is a vast question. In my case, music is what inspires me to write. My best characters, the best moments in my stories, they're all bound to a single song that inspired its existence. Therefore, whenever I reach that moment, I write while listening to that specific song, making the...

Sleep is overrated!

Once upon a time, there was the Void. Then, in that Void, a fire was born.The first Star.

...I feel a certain amount of repressed rage here, but I don't wanna dig into it. Mostly, I agree and disagree with you: I agree that overplanning is a bad idea, always, but at the same time what you described isn't overplanning, it's worldbuilding. Why does everyone speak english? Well, maybe...

Honestly, I don't care about the word count. I care only about the concept. If the concept is interesting, then the more the better! Because it means there's more to read!

Hmm, this is a strangely phylosophical question. In my opinion, a character stops being a character when you stop giving its existence in the story meaning. Anything can be a character, from a rock to the stars themselves, and it's not even a matter of humanizing them. Oftentimes, I find, it is...

That's an interesting story! Not my style of read, sadly, but interesting plot nonethless. Here's another story for you, one that was more 'author rage' than 'reader rage'. Originally, when I started writing my book, dialogue was signaled this way: -[Dialogue]- While thoughts were like this...

>Be me >Writing a story with character that is turned into half monster creature >The character has slowly been leaving behind their humanity since the world treats them as monster >The character acts like the monster they are Readers: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA? HOW DARE YOU? YOU BROKE OUR TRUST...

I mean, I do hope that can apply to me as well lmao
