    Realistic Fight Scenes: An Introduction

    OH! That makes total sense! Can definitely see all kinds of fun ways to use that. Plus now I wonder what their limit is... My mind gets excited when thinking about applying magic and powers and all that. :ROFLMAO: And I could go on and on about that story (and the franchise in general), I...

    Realistic Fight Scenes: An Introduction

    How does that lead to fast healing? Though yeah, would definitely need a strong healing factor. That's actually something that comes up for the protagonist of Tales of Arise, Alphen, who isn't able to feel pain at all. Though as this accurately points out with such people, these types (irl...

    Realistic Fight Scenes: An Introduction

    Kudos! And yeah, that's something I seriously want to go into more in the future, especially with the internal experience. I held back big time saying all the ways you can hit someone to just neutralize them quickly. One thing I decided to avoid in this script is "The Monkey Dance" as this one...

    Realistic Fight Scenes: An Introduction

    This topic comes up so much all over and I just have so much I can say that I don't see others bringing up. I mean, I've both studied actual martial arts, fight experience, and tons of knowledge about theatrical stuff. So, with this, consider this a foundation for more fighting stuff. I can tell...

    First Chapter Analysis

    I should be able to get around to these this week, but no guarantees. I've been working on a secret project that's been taking up a lot of time for next month.

    Doubts when creating a story

    When I had doubts, I did what people do in any other field: I trained.

    Is there room for Urban (African) Fantasy?

    Just wanted to say, I'm super curious about what you could do for some Urban African Fantasy. I feel there's a market for it.

    Techniques for Naming Your Stories or Chapters

    Huh, why does it haunt you? Looking at your titles, I can say I really like them since there's a colorfulness to them. I feel they are fitting for a story called "Charisma."

    Techniques for Naming Your Stories or Chapters

    I'm glad to hear it! :biggrin_s: And thanks for saying as much, especially since I've been trying to improve with every video! I like this thinking! It sounds like a good example of borrowing and stealing interest. Can you share a few examples? I'm curious to see what the end result looks like!

    How does your first draft looks like?

    I use this approach I call "layering." I once made a video on it, but I hate the video, so I'm not linking it. Regardless, first I outline the chapter. Then I write all of the dialogue while leaving notes for myself. So it looks kind of like this... Then when I make a later pass, I do far...

    Are there any good discord servers that will help me brainstorm my novel?

    I'm making one right now, but that's a work in progress. Regardless, I'm willing to hear you out and help where I can if you do want to chat. And when it comes to ideology, I honestly don't care what you make.

    Stories of how you come to get inspired to write, the cost of writing, and the aftereffects from it?

    I started writing at first because I just wanted to have fun in these duels and... I guess I just felt drawn to it and the desire to create stories. Then I started delving more into it to develop unique skills for a different ambition I once had within entertainment. As I kept working on it and...

    Cadence: Make Your Prose Sing [The 5 Cs for Strong Prose]

    I've always been told that brains were my most attractive feature. Never thought it be in this way though. XD

    It was AMAZING! The main event was the ultimate fanservice for me. Bryan Danielson is my favorite wrestler in the world, so 1) I gasped when he entered using The Final Countdown (his old theme from ROH that is expensive as hell), 2) hyped when I saw him use the YES chant for the first time in...

    Cadence: Make Your Prose Sing [The 5 Cs for Strong Prose]

    This week completes the 5 part series I made for helping writers who are interested in learning what I know about prose. This is the one I was most looking forward to, cadence. If you're someone who is looking for direction beyond "just write," this (and the entire series) is my way of paying...

    First Chapter Analysis

    Sure! Just give me a few days. I'm a liar. I took a look at The Hunter and it grabbed me immediately. So, first up, it gets my thumbs up. The first line hooked me and you handled the opening line with dialogue well. I've seen so many do it poorly, but you did it right, having someone else start...

    My mention of Forbidden Door should give the answer. :s_wink: But yeah, AEW. I was a WWE fan for the longest time, and I don't want it dead or anything, but I just finally hit my breaking point at Hell in a Cell 2019. Add in that I was a fan of Puroresu (among other non-WWE things) since 2005...
