    Back again!

    I don't think I do that much (at least anymore) but I know I've had to go back and rewrite chapters where I suddenly shifted into or out of first person narration for a character and then realized it was not how I'd written the rest of the story. For one chapter in one book, I was about to POST...

    Writing Convince me emojis is a bad idea

    I would be skeptical of this, but I am a fan of an old manga series around a character named Gon. The only words or symbols anywhere are animal sounds, usually him (he's a miniature tyrannosaurus rex) roaring his name, so know it is at least POSSIBLE if not a good idea.

    Are my chapters getting better or worse?

    I know this was addressed to someone else but - it really depends on the story (and how "honest" you want to be with your readers - in third person, you have to be a faithful reporter, while in first person, you can write the story around how the character SEES things, rather than what is really...

    Writing Convince me emojis is a bad idea

    I considered using emoticons when I had characters texting, but instead just described the emojis they used. Upped the word count and felt easier to read. Never considered it for a System, but it would fit there - especially if you get a situation where Systems are talking to each other (even...

    Want to show off your Badge of Honour?

    I would say if it gets over 60% on one checker or over 30% on more than one (note that sometimes checking the same passage with the same checker after either waiting a while or checking other passages before coming back reveals a variance of up to 3%, that I've seen, possibly more, so there is...

    What even is "bad grammar"

    "Bad Grammar" for me is anything that just feels wrong and drags me out of the story. I can overlook some little "mistakes" if the flow is good and the story engaging, but when there are a lot of them, or big stuff that makes a paragraph just feel like gibberish, then I have to cry foul.

    Importing a font into SH?

    The only way would be to capture the font in a graphic and insert the image.

    Writing Convince me emojis is a bad idea

    The ads alone convinced me that "The Emoji Movie" was a bad idea - and then my stepson saw it with his then-girlfriend (now wife) and her daughter and... well, after hearing about it we knew it was true love because he was still with her... and that the movie itself was BEYOND awful... Oh, you...

    Latest Updates problem

    Wow - posted here and in General, Cheeky. Also posted to the places where you will get the correct response (not showing because hidden due to rule-breaking), but not the Bug Report area? Interesting.

    I think I finally got smth going with these cover options!

    I would suggest lightening up the colors a bit - that will probably be way too dark as a thumbnail image,

    I wrote bullshit, but does it make sense?

    Some of the wording is a bit awkward, and it rambles a bit - decent for a first draft but definitely not a polished work.

    Fun Question: If you had to be reincarnated as a character from your book (not the MC), who would it be?

    Strange Awakening: Equinox (because he hooks up with Kelly) or Fez (because he's a freaking djinn). Would not want to be? Hellhound - he's just the jobber's jobber and they're fun to read but would SUCK to be. The Jack Diamond books: Alzol, the Death Demon - he's probably the most complex...

    Curious What did you do after finished one chapter?

    I think I only did that twice, ever, once last year and once back in the 90s but yeah.

    What would you write?

    Probably something utterly mundane and banal, like "Eat at Ed's (Because you can't bowl there)"

    Curious What did you do after finished one chapter?

    Depends - sometimes I start the next one, sometimes I switch to a new book, sometimes I step away to do other, non-writing stuff. No set time really - sometimes I'll do 5k in a few hours, sometimes it takes DAYS to get through 2 (right now I'm editing 10k and that is taking days) Depends on...

    What’s your favorite explanation for fantasy worlds being "real"?

    The OP clarified this midthread. It is about how (or if) world-hopping stories justify the presence of other universes in themselves. Of course, in Digital Cowboy I eventually explain it as multiple game servers (four fantasy, two sci-fi, one Western and ... well that would be a spoiler) all...
