There's definitely merit to that approach. I've heard other writers say they get stuck because something new in the story clashes with what they wrote earlier, and it throws off the whole consistency. Starting over with that issue in mind can help them avoid that cycle of destruction. :blob_nom:

Wish I knew. The only comments I have received on my stories have been from people who register and vanish in a single day; bots.

Honestly, that's just a strong moral compass; you hate nihilistic worlds where nothing matters, nothing changes, and development is impossible. Nothing wrong with what you've got going on and I support your perspective. :blob_cookie:

Are we talking about DBZ Syndrome? Where one move gets an entire episode; or in this case, a whole chapter? :blob_sweat:

Oh yeah, that reminded me. Hey, @Reftven ? Do wrong tags count?

"Roger-roger." Reference: A B1 named 2-BZ.

Lack of believable motivation or character reasoning could be one.

I'm bored.

For me, all caps doesn't read as a normal shout but should read as a full-on scream. It feels like the character is not just trying to be heard, but is broadcasting panic or alarm to everyone nearby; it's desperation in their voice. Because of that, we usually expect all-caps to be used...

The mind's the one running the whole machine, and it absolutely pushes back when you grind it too hard. Keep ramming that wall of fatigue and it'll just get taller. So yeah, I'm fully on board with that suggestion on taking cheat days. :blob_party:

The names of Robert I didn't know. That's pretty cool to have in the back of one's mind when reading (or watching) one of those stories play out. But, strange. I could've sworn that Azathoth was the scariest one out of them when considering how absolutely huge and, well, incomprehensible its...

Yes! I wish I could just pull the images straight out of my wrinkly, gray pudding and smack them on those names. Although, I sometimes get Shub and Yog mixed up. :sweat_smile:

Ah, I see where their, ahem, drive came from. :blob_whistle: Thank you for providing the context on those authors and their range of work. It helps clarify their unique approach to writing multiple projects. :blob_cookie:

Yes. I couldn't tell you right now who is what, but if I hear one of their names, an unfathomable image of their character will infest my mind. :blob_drool:

Not to cause conflict, but there is a missing point here. I want to add that someone like Asimov switched gears whenever writing a new novel. Not sure about the other guy, but, yeah, I know Asimov because I was really curious if he was the inspiration for Warhammer 40K. Uh, anyways, that's going...

Just a suggestion, but try the "Stephen King Method" by jotting down any creative idea or scene that flutters inside your wonderful cranium and stuff it in a file or do what King does by keeping a nightstand drawer full of sticky notes until the concept can be used. Someday, that idea might be...

Ah, a TGS writer. I remember reading some of Clarity's works. I'll take a peek sometime at your stuff.

I'll actually remember that "Xfralda" name because I can't pronounce it. Anytime I see "Alda" with an "X", I'll know who it is, but I won't expect myself to remember how to spell it correctly either. That reminds me, we have a guy at work that we nicknamed "Alphabet" because we can't pronounce...

I'd give any action scene a rating, but I hate doing that because I don't know what to compare it with. Like, what is the best and worst fight scene? A blank sheet of paper is a zero by default, that's a no-brainer, but what gives it a one? :blob_hmm_two: "I punched him." Is that a one...

Maybe it is the image cover bug?
