    What do you look for in a "relatable" main character?

    Understanding a character and empathizing with them are not the same thing. For me, it's more about the circumstances the character finds themselves in. Is it possible to understand a crowd in a catastrophe? The rest sounds strange - empathizing, associating it with yourself, because he also has...

    Authors, if you make an original story do you ever think about making another one?

    As usual, the idea of writing something comes up at the beginning. But the question of "how to make it better?" remains unresolved, and various options arise. Most importantly, it turns out that there are rules for doing this in a way that allows the novel to be read by more than just the...

    Music composing for novels?

    I think it's better to use background music for an audiobook. Otherwise, it will only work as a source of inspiration. I sometimes enjoy listening to suno to hear a themed poem performed by him.

    Prologue chapters, how important are they?

    I think prologues can be quite different. The main thing is to show a part of some epic so that the reader knows what to expect. But it doesn't have to be in the future. If the story is global enough, it can be a significant stage from the past that leads to a climax in the future. But it is...

    Can't figure out the title placement...

    If a picture with characters or action is used as a background, then a plain place is usually allocated for the inscriptions. The classic is a white font with a small shadow. Preferably, without a outline. Then you can experiment according to the situation. It is better to generate the font...

    Do Shout-out Swaps Happen Here?

    It's terrible. Especially the stack of covers that covers the entire screen.

    Cover and illustrations. (Children of Laice)

    You won't believe it, but this is a local base Stable Diffusion 1.5. And a lot of correction in Photoshop. Part of the details is cut from photos and individual generations, after stitching through AI. Here's an example.

    Cover and illustrations. (Children of Laice)

    No, it's a cover, it's colored.

    Will it clearly look like AI usage? Yes, it's all AI.

    [Poll] Goodness by Choice vs. Goodness by Default

    Thinking about good and bad, what is right and what is wrong, is evil.

    What should I do about this Paradox called Book Cover?

    I always have a question when I hear something like this. So I opened Photoshop, made a collage of two photos or textures, and applied an effect. Then I ran it through AI (local) multiple times and edited it in Photoshop. I added a frame and assembled the text from pieces of generated font. I...

    Writing Wrangling chapter length?

    We need to define the concept of a scene. Of course, we can put a character in a room alone and make them think a lot, or we can create an epic battle. However, even these scenes can be divided into meaningful segments that shift the focus to something else. These segments may still be large...

    Ideas for Covers

    Covers themselves are not for everyone. You can fill everything with one color and write the title. Personally, I'm trying to convey an idea. If it's a social theme, there should be characters. Lots of characters. A mysterious story should have a mystery on the cover. A kind of figurative...

    Art is made by Ai can't afford the artist need suggestion

    The third image has a good color scheme and contrast. The fourth and sixth images have a good composition for a cover. The fifth image may be suitable for what you need. However, I would recommend further refining the composition, color balance, and depth. The images are too colorful. The faces...

    Why Isekai?

    Changing the environment is not only about the landscape, although the hero can look at it in different ways. It's also about situations that don't happen in everyday life. The same way the hero's attitude towards the kingdom or communism can reveal his character. This is always a potential that...

    Why Isekai?

    It's just a trend. Even if your story continues to feature a dull and boring character, a change of setting changes the way you view them. A well-crafted post-apocalypse or alien abduction can replace it. But the lack of a familiar label will undermine fans' expectations. I recently read a...

    I can't find my writing drafts, can someone please help me?

    I hope you understand that a draft is the status of a text, not a separate tab with its version.

    AI changes and writing

    This sounds absurd. You cut up the same text and said, "You can rest here, and read the rest later." How do these people even read books? Do they cut them up like pizza and only then eat them? You mean, do they read? There has to be some kind of sensible ending, in the action scenes or...
