I've been told my narrative voice is good, so I'll take that as a strength, and I think I'll say finishing stories is one too. Not to say I don't have lots of unfinished projects (I call them story ideas, please and thank you, and I won't hear any complaints about any supposed "novella worth of...

imo, most, if not all romance shoehorned into a story not about relationships is worse than worthless. Don't get me wrong, I love several "romance" novels, but I've never read a fantasy story, etc. which had some bozo pining away for some other bozo and thought to myself, "Man, this sure is a...

You'll probably have better luck at a place more focused on art over writing. You could try Newgrounds, for instance, and I'm sure there are others.

That is kind of hilarious, tbh. I understand the labor union complaints, but I'm not sure why the very British Doyle would have any particular animosity towards the very American Mormons. Maybe they were bigger in England than I thought? He said shorter, even the abridged Monte Cristo rivals...

You mean based Doyle chapters? You probably can't go wrong with any of those, depending on what you're looking for. If it's just for fun, Sherlock Holmes is probably your best bet, but if you're looking to inform your writing on early American culture (for that Historical Fiction you're...

Saying AZ weather is predictable is a total meme. You could just have a big sign that says "today will be sunny" and it would be right 90% of the time.

My personal favorite (and tbh the only reason I'm still on this site) is https://www.scribblehub.com/series/670933/former-isekai-hero-was-corrupted-by-his-overpoweredness-and-now-the-people-need-me-a-prince-of-this-world-to-defeat-him-and-save-our-land/ Don't let the long title fool you (it...

Part 1: ??⁉️??‍? Part 2: ?:devilish:??? Part 3: ???️?? This is technically just the story I'm redrafting, and I'm not doing the chapters (which I haven't decided on yet), but I thought it would be fun to do it for the three "arcs" instead. Edit: oops, misunderstood the prompt. sorry

This is the way, imo. I've been writing daily for 2814 days, and I have three novels to show for it (and I love them all dearly, even). Most of those days haven't been on any particular project, but none of them have been wasted (even the ones where I'm just writing crap about how I have...

Do something productive with your life, save money, and take risks. You'll never have as much time or energy as you do now. Spend it wisely. .... Did you home school? Or are you some kind of street urchin?

Well, a good General knows how to delegate, so obviously you should make one of your lieutenants ghost write your next book.

I'm personally a fan of the JRR Tolkien school of fight scenes, which is to have the POV character pass out ten seconds into the battle, and skip to the part where it's over, but everyone saying you should use fight scenes like you do every scene, as a chance to develop the characters and plot...

I don't know if it count's as free time, but I do a surprising amount of cooking/baking. An inexplicably large amount of time socializing (for a recalcitrant hermit), the endless chores that come with owning a house, listen to a few too many podcasts, and if I'm able to actually engage in some...

It's literally socialism, but go off, I guess What, you don't love it when a bunch of criminal sociopaths rob you in six different ways so they can shoot hellfire missiles at children? That's not very patriotic of you!

I'm not sure I was ready for the "Tom Sawyer is technically steampunk" revelation.

based getting-reddit-banned pilled? Either way, you're probably better off.

The great (not so secret) secret of writing is that ideas are all mostly worthless, it's only the execution that really holds any weight. Given this, it's best to evaluate ideas not in terms of "good" or "bad", but rather in terms of how they will affect the execution, and one of the most...

Taxation is definitely theft, and what's worse, it's theft by the most objectively evil people in society. You should only pay taxes for strategic reasons, but if you can get away with not giving your money to psychopaths, you definitely should. Anyway, this is terribly off topic for this...

Have you ever watched "The Twelve Kingdoms" Anime? Based on this, I think you'd really like it. There's also a light novel, but I don't know if it's been translated to English. I've been (very slowly) studying for Japanese almost entirely due to my desire to read the source material for it...

consider making cold brew tea in a big mason jar. Then having tea in the morning is as easy as having a glass of water.
