    Are books on writing any good?

    Are we allowed to write our own of this here? I mean, as a scribblehub book. Not sure if it's against rules since there is no non-fiction genre

    [HELP] Which cover art to use ? [CLOSED]

    I would consider either changing or dropping that weird subtitle though. Doesn't feel like it belongs there, and even if it did, the black background of the caption should be turned into transparency.

    Mildly Unreliable Story Feedback [CLOSED]

    There's... something about your face that I trust completely! Guard my wallet for me while I use the wash room.

    Resolved Does anyone know why I can't update my stories description?

    I have a suspicion that someone is vetting the descriptions as well as the covers 😂

    Anyone remember them old Nooks? [Rant]

    Yep, and it is working nicely too.

    How does one find a job?

    It's a more serious issue, and it's even more difficult depending on where one lives or where they are looking for work. Not gonna get into how garbage some of the sites and practices are, but I do have a bit of an answer: Linked in. You might hate it, heck I'm not a fan of it either, but it's...

    Is there a way to have a 2nd post not merge into 1st?

    Its to prevent spam and other nefarious deeds. It does sometimes bug me a bit though, in the case where a reply to comment versus update to previous post/thread I'd want to keep separate.

    Resolved Does anyone know why I can't update my stories description?

    Have you tried the following?: 1.) Before updating it, if no live chapters are set and no drafts exists, make at least one unpublished draft of dummy data. Nothing fancy, just something that tethers your story to an actual framework instead of being just a template. 2.) Check basic browser...

    Anyone remember them old Nooks? [Rant]

    A Nook is Barns N Noble's Trashware. I think the ebook repository function might still work, but this isn't the same thing. I simply wanted a device to connect here to SH as it would be better to read stories with a tablet sized screen easy on the eyes. I remember my nook costing around $90. My...

    Why does Isekai have so much hate?

    Isekai isn't a narrative though; it's just an origin type, one could even look at it as an intentional writing constraint (like how English teachers would make us do in school). It becomes part of the plot though when [character] uses [knowledge from other world] that they otherwise shouldn't...

    Slice of Life, the perspective of a Butler in a fantasy world.

    Yep, it's important to come up with a style that works for you and for the characters, something that can present what they are feeling in the moments. I do it through more internal monologing, but it's just one example of many possibilities. Saves a lot of time later when you can create new...

    Why does Isekai have so much hate?

    Exactly. Maybe more lovers but I do bump into a few forum posts of people dumping on the tag though

    Why does Isekai have so much hate?

    Summarized and self-answered, I don't think it is the origin, tag, or device of Isekai that is a problem. It's popularity has been boosting for years in both literature and anime. A majority seem to complain about the same issue: lack of quality control. I think readers are simply burned out by...

    What’s one mistake you made early as a writer that you wish you avoided?

    Leaving the auto-save turned on. Lost 2 big projects that way.

    Slice of Life, the perspective of a Butler in a fantasy world.

    Hm... How do I explain...? The basic plot and heart is there, but the word style is working against it. There's less inner character affirmation than I hope to see. Example of what I perused: There's no intermittent thought/self-reflection about the MC's situation. minimal MC analytics of...

    Anyone remember them old Nooks? [Rant]

    Long story short, I tried to book up a Nook color I let sit for 5 years. But it doesn't connect to internet due to some software being out of date (and manufacturer having issued it end of life long ago); so, it's a brick. It's funny, I see a lot of them on sale through ebay too (can't imagine...

    Slice of Life, the perspective of a Butler in a fantasy world.

    Based on the premise, I'd be most interested if the focus was set learning the elements of being a perfect butler. Especially when it's for noble/upper-class, attention to detail, and importance/virtues of what a butler will do (and the character's growth into that) is a good starting point.

    How Weak or Strong is my Hook/description?

    Alright. Fifth attempt: Against an unfair, relentless weight of challenges he isn't ready for, Riekko finds it harder to keep his hope and persistence alive in a dangerous Isekai world. Failure means letting down himself and the family he must get back to, and victory is not as simple as he...
