That is only about 80% true. If you go on Substack, there are a lot of non-editors offering advice about how THEY succeeded. And one of the classic books on writing, Strunck and White's Elements of Style was written by E. B. White, at the request of (and edited by) his partner, Strunck, a...

That's more the unit secretary's thing than the nurse's.

On paper? Very little. In my head? Quite a bit but I don't always follow the plan (or even remember it... and sometimes the characters go off and do weird stuff that kind of derails it).

Well.... my wife is a psych nurse with a specialization in geriatric care...

Wait - we can get a wish for being ourselves? Cool! (Three would be a nice relaxing shift)

My guess is that is what they feel the world needs, given the politics of their board of directors... a dose of their vision of "truth"... Then again, some of the most epic television shows of the past had the good guys lose - Blake's Seven for example (that is, when a show actually had an...

The slow burn NEEDS to BE the hook or you'll just have a ... burn. A fire that ravages your text and leaves no readers behind.

It was one of those nights that feels like the opening to a bad, bus station spinner-rack novel, one that was pawed through hundreds of times, but nobody ever finished reading, or even ever purchased, except that it wasn't; it was just one of those nights.

Well, only going by the synopsis, you have a lot of clunky phrasing which suggests the novel will consist of far more of the same. I suggest something closer to: Amelan Draug'nr was raised in the slums of The Unified Empire and never knew his parents. Under the service of one Burtril Hunra’ec...

Should be able to sort by date in the search window. Not sure if there are limiters (i.e. "no more than 120 days, no less than 60 past" or something) permitted though.

Well, if you're curious, here's the system in my only LitRPG/System story so far Each Traveler has a number of skills in one of seven ranks: Novice, Expert, Master, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, Deity. Each Rank contains nine Grades from 1 to 9 - a skill that would exceed Grade 9 immediately...

Nah, I use my profile page for that.

Well, there are vampires, of a sort (the world has two sorts - a living, semi-immortal race, and a cursed monstrous version of that race that is very rare and very dangerous) in Blood Diamond (the reason for the "blood" part of the title, in fact, but no vampire romance ... though Jessica...

When the sun came up that day, it was morning, once again.

The Tar-Aiym Krang

The Black Arrow that Bard the Bowman uses to kill Smaug might count.

Well, there was a Korean one a few years ago - blanking on the name, and I even saw the film. Of course, we know Japan has Gojira, China probably has a lion-dragon thing (maybe even King Seezar from one of the old Godzilla movies, I think it was the second Mechagodzilla one), and the United...

That would also block kinetic energy as well, though and probably kill him... I prefer the "Zone of Truth" effect - nobody within hearing range of the person taking the potion, including the person taking it, is capable of telling a lie. Nobody. "Answer me or I'll threaten to cut your hand...

Nice - close enough to anime style to fit in with the majority of images on this site, but different enough to stand out.

Is that you, Quentin Tarantino?
