I just found out there's a reddit group specifically for posting webserials on called Reddit Serials. Has anyone here posted on there before? What was your experience?

Have you ever had one of those moments where you look back over your own writing and have to do a double take? "Did I write that? The hell is wrong with me?" If so, share it here. I just had one of those moments right now while writing Siren Called. There is context that makes it make a little...

When you're writing a book, do you try to get the entire book finished before going back and editing earlier parts? Or will you stop and go back to change earlier parts as soon as you see an error or decide to make a change? I'm definitely in the second group, and I kinda hate it. I would...

Let's say somebody offered to make your book a worldwide bestseller. It would sell enough copies for you to be extravagantly rich, and you'd get to keep every cent of it. There would be movie deals, Broadway would want to turn it into a stage show, and you'd have an army of rabid fans who would...

First of all, I'm not talking about inventing words for things that don't exist on earth. I'm talking about inventing new words just to use in narration or casual conversation. I heard once that as long as other people understand what a word means, then there's no reason not to use it. Just a...

I woke up in the middle of the night last, absolutely convinced that the dream I'd just had was the best idea for a story ever. I laid there for the rest of the night, only about three-quarters of my brain actually awake, developing a plot to apply it to. It wasn't until I my alarm went off...

I'm nowhere near ready to publish my pirate story, but I'm also stuck at Walmart while my car gets its oil changed, so I may as well start thinking about it now so I don't go crazy from boredom. So far I've wanted to call the series Siren Called with each book having a unique subtitle. Like...

You know you've made it as an author when someone tries to assign depth and meaning to your story that you never intended it to have. I think it's called the "The Curtains are Blue!" phenomenon. What's the weirdest thing someone has gotten out of your work that you didn't intend? For me, I used...

And it was really boring. Props to the developers for managing to spook me, though. Not many games (or movies, books, etc) can do that. But once you get past the admittedly great atmosphere, the game consists almost entirely of going room to room, testing out each type of equipment until you get...

I'm thinking about making the bad guys in my pirate story sail around on black ships with red sails. They're a combination of religious Inquisitors and monster slayers, so the black and red would be their identifying colors. Maybe a little ceremony too, like "You're not truly an inquisitor until...

Got what I needed. Thanks to everyone who helped.

I was writing today, and had my main character go into a room with a ton of stuff in it. The room is deliberately set up to draw your eye to what's in the exact center. I want to describe the other things that are in the room as well, but once the MC sees what's in the center, for various...

Do you guys know of any good DND podcasts, YouTube shows, etc? That's how I got into DND in the first place. I didn't really care about it at all until I discovered The Adventure Zone and loved it. And then about fifty episodes later, I stopped loving it. Then I tried listening to Critical Role...

We've all made typos, but hopefully we catch the majority of them before they go live. Occasionally one slips past and gets published for the entire world to see. What are some of the funniest typos you've accidentally posted? In Juryokine, I meant to write "Toke reached out with his powers"...

If you're reading an isekai story, what is your preference for how long it takes for the MC to get isekaid? Do you like to see what their life is like in the real world for a few chapters before being yeeted across dimensions so you have a better idea of who they are and how different their life...

What's the worst reaction you've ever gotten to one of your books? For me, it was probably when I got kicked out of a fantasy writer's group for writing a book about skinwalkers fighting wendigos. Because not including cultures other than your own in your stories is racist, but the moment you...

About a year ago I was hired to write the prequel to a moderately well known book series. It's a good gig, but I'd never be able to live off of it. I used to think I didn't want writing to be my career because that would take the magic out of it, but after working a few dead end jobs I've long...

I just found out that a game shop near me has weekly DND sessions for people who have never played or are just starting out. I've always wanted to play DND, seeing how it's basically "Storytelling: The Game" but I live in a place where nerdy hobbies are still considered wedgieable offenses. so...

This isn't the first time I've tried to write a pirate story. Over the past couple years, I've started and given up on probably half a dozen different versions of this one idea. Each one had things I liked, but something about it always kept me from getting more than a few chapters in. I think...

Henry Rider and the Nuyu Prescription, the sequel to Henry Rider: Clown Hunter, is coming to Scribble Hub on January 1st! Henry Rider is back on the job—doctor’s orders! It has been an abnormal two months in the Rider household, even by their normally abnormal standards. Henry may have saved...
