Hmm. Well, plan to in the summary of part two for Strange Awakening. But still have at least a chapter and a half of part one to write first. Not sure if I did in Between Worlds or not. The puns in the Jack Diamond series really don't fit for title drops though I might be able to pull one...

Not having read the story, all I'm going by is what has been said here, and it seems to capture that without saying too much or being misleading

Bout Lilith is from the Torah, one of the sections (Kabballah IIRC) not included in the Bible, and is "purely" Jewish - though she was also "adopted" by the Greeks (as I found out checking what I thought was a mistake on Supernatural) so, she fits in here regardless.

The feeling that I should monetize it to justify the time spent but I just keep finding excuses not to try.

Oh yeah - have you encountered any of the writings of E. E. "Doc" Smith? His Lensmen and the characters in the Sparrowhawk series have wild powersets that are rooted in several scientific theories of his era (most proven flawed or discarded since but still...) including psionic/psychic...

Unless Kira is the first person narrator of the story, the first option is your best so far. If she IS the narrator, then go with that second one.

Whatever you're more comfortable with is probably how you should write. And "script form" DOES include stage dressing, action notes, etc. For example MasterY001: (Assuming a defiant pose) I prefer this style! It somewhat resembles a movie script. Critic (sarcastically): Why would you write a...

Note that two successful authors generally had several stories going at the same time - Isaac Asimov and Piers Anthony. Try to keep it small at first, only do two stories if you can, and focus on one at a time - but when you get stuck, instead of accepting "writer's block" move on to the other...

::slaps Zinless just for asking::

I have diagnosed attention deficit disorder and have about eight active stories...

My wife listened to a webnovel that did this to the poor MC three times. Once he woke up in the body of an adult alien, and was almost immediately killed (the scene was kind of odd but it felt almost like this was the alien that killed him, and he was living through its final day). Then he...

Koontz keeps writing the same blasted story over and over. Different character names, sometimes the broken person is male, sometimes female, sometimes the innocent is a child, a teen or an animal, and sometimes the victim is male, other times female. He only deviated from this in the Odd...

It varies - sometimes bad dialogue actually works (Stephen Brust's paean to "The Three Musketeers" - "The Phoenix Guard" - is rife with dialogue so awful it KNOWS it and makes a joke of it, while inviting the reader to have fun as well. Even so.). But USUALLY it is the breaking point. Usually.

The Midnight Society books (and TV series) tried to fill that void when Goosebumps went off the air. Stine went from a book every six months to about 2 every three years AFAICT (and not all "kids horror")

There is a theory among some historians that Thor not only was originally the God of Farming, but an actual farmer. The theory is that a Skald stopped by a farmhouse for lodging during a storm and was permitted to stay in the barn. Farmer's daughter (or maybe even wife) brought Skald food and...

I had a D&D scenario that kind of twisted the trope on its ear - the PCs were sent to "rescue" a princess allegedly kidnapped by gnomes. Turns out the gnomes were her friends; they overheard the man she is supposed to marry planning to kill her during the honeymoon, after assassins kill her...

Ever see a Russian horror/adventure movie "Nightwatch" (part of a weird trilogy with "Daywatch" and another one I think I saw but can't remember the title to)? At the climax, the main villain rips out his own spine and uses it as a sword. Kind of the reverse of what you're describing here (and...

If you want to move to more generic terms: Mechanics (The art of manipulating locks and mechanical traps) Manipulation (two flavors - Manual Manipulation to cover sleight of hand and pick pockets - nothing that Pick Pockets can also be used to plant stuff on people; Mental Manipulation is the...

So far, the stats are only presented to Travelers (Player Characters) via direct message by their VICC (Virtual Interface Command Console) and are in a "conversational" tone only using "Greater Than" and "Less Than" sings instead of Open Quote/Close Quote. Have never presented a full stat sheet...
