For once in my life, I will try to be a bit concise: "Show, don't Tell" is an important thing to note, especially to beginners. They tend to "Tell" every little aspect of the story, but especially those things that pertain to the personalities of their characters and how they develop. Unlike...

Even so, the fact that distinct "childishness", the incapability of comprehension on a certain level, even agrees with your textbook definition of the term "stupid". So don't get your panties in a twist - for once, it's really not that deep. :blob_cookie:

Oh boy, I play favorites like no other. I'm not ashamed of it. At the core, as soon as I get into a story that way lying around, I always get hyped up - if I didn't like the stories I write, I wouldn't bother with them in the first place, let alone write them down. But the most destructive fact...

Come here, Children - Grandpa is talking about the war again. :blob_cookie:

Congratulations! :blob_melt: :blob_aww: Take that feeling and let it be the fuel that gets you through the whole story. I will cheer you on while munching on my cookies over here. :blob_cookie:

Damn, I came back after all. This is a horrible habit of mine, I'm sorry. :blob_no: So, basically, I caught that. I think my own words might have been too unspecific. Around that part where I make the point of how much they wouldn't let him get near anyone, I meant to say that him wandering...

So, I did something that people do sometimes at four AM: I went to sleep. And now I came back to this. big sigh In other words, despite me explaining it, like, three times, you still don't get the point of "I'm using that as my go to, like saying 'Children are Children'" and still try to explain...

Same difference. You could argue that some adults are simple and not stupid. Some stupid people are smart in the weirdest ways as well. When I said they had their own intentions and already go to school, I accounted for things like reading, writing, and even performing in plays and holding...

That depends on the person. "Children are stupid" generally means that children are children. The 18-year-old in question either devolved or was likely worse in their reading at the age of ten. And they were likely not better than an 18-year-old. Conversely, an 18-year-old should not actually be...

That is so true. Though, the last story I read was about a literal 20-year-old that was treated like a toddler, so I think that's kind of refreshing by comparison. But yeah, I'm with @tiaf in that they likely just don't know any better. Then again, research works wonders. Children are stupid...

If you don't mind taking it from a nobody like me: I don't think your post was that far off. I mean, when it comes to first posts, mine became obsolete as well, to a certain degree, but even that has still some merit left, just like yours. Because these are questions that will eventually be...

So I just walked out of the room and came back to realize that you had actually posted something right before I sent the text that I wrote. Basically everything is now for naught, but aside from that, that extra bit of additional information makes the whole thing seem to be less kohesive of a...

I agree with what @MFontana said, but would also like to add: In a setting like this, even if it's about "true friendship", you will have to make sure to put in either a higher goal or a very close, deep reaching friendship; maybe the "villain" character had, in pursuit of his power, never let...

If you can't market yourself, you're out of luck. Like, Tapas will let you die. That's what I do. For reference: Scribble Hub is very comfy, RR is actually doing okay, especially since I made no effort in doing socializing or campaigning for my stories there and then there's Tapas. If you...

How big an image is influences the size only partially. It also depends on the information saved up in it. I'm not that deep in the subject either, but images of the same format, same resolution and same dimensions can have widely different sizes. But as someone with a slight passion when it...

Quick Status Update So, I might have mentioned at some point along the way that I have never worked on Forums like this - but that is only half the truth. I haven't, in fact, spent time on any Forum ever, no matter what it was about, outside of a single one. I have actually been unnaturally...

Sometimes, all it takes is a bit of distance. I wish you all the best. :blob_cookie:
