The first thing to do would be to ask yourself what genre this is. An action is going to play very different compared to a comedy or a romance here. Secondly, pose a problem to the protagonist in which you identify a potential solution thats fits the genre. Whats important here is that, as well...

This is the only rule I disagree with here. It's like saying we should teach children how to deal drugs, murder, and evade police effectively. I'd really rather that not be taught to a bunch of teenagers.

Lets perform a little thought experiment about it here. Imagine if you had a conversation with me, then I chose to make up my own interpretation of everything you said. Is that sensible? I then tell other people that you told me [insert my own interpretation of your words here] that happens to...

I think one of the reasons is because we are used to films/cartoons/anime but writing a novel is very different from directing these. Fims/cartoons/anime relay information in the form of pictures and sound, so battle scenes in these tend to be very dynamic and eye-catching. However, novels don't...

I have an unpublished chapter in which I jot down small things that I'm likely to forget in the future, and also a very brief outline (half a sentence per two chapters or so) of what I actually need to include in the story before hitting the next "big thing", like introducing certain characters...

Eating. I'm looking forward to the banquet. I would say other things as well but other people have already said them.

This is genius. I gotta jot this idea down somewhere.

Once I tried starting to write a new book. Then I realised I had to come up with more character names and I just decided "nah".

In only a few days you can write 13.5k words relevent to your story and you call that a problem? It took me about 6 months to get that many words down ;-;

Following trends is fine, as long as you understand why a trend works in the first place, and have enough braincells and enthusiam to actually make something semi-original with it. But I think if someones tries a "popular gimmic" because they think its going to be easy... its honestly entirely...

We grow older and we grow wiser.

Man, am I the only one who likes static characters? I'll advocate some thought for static characters: 1. Old characters should be (probably) more static than younger characters. They've lived for 60 years, are they really going to change by a noticable amount in 2 more years of experience...

I hate to break it to you, but 29th of february doesn't come once a year :P

they look rlly nice! What drawing software(s) are you using btw?

If you are making a (large) timeskip, my only real suggestion is make it clear how long the timeskip is, and consider if a line break is appropriate if its in the middle of a chapter.

I know the good samaritan story well enough to know that it doesn't contradict what I said at all. I don't know why you would think it does contradict what I said.

As blacknight says, another word for it might be shallow. If you write so fast, you have less time time to think about the overall plot and themes and stuff you want to put in. So you either end up with a stereotypical story which required no original thought of your own to make, or your story...

On my best writing day ever, I probably managed only 700 words. I cannot imagine what writing 7000 words per day would look like. However, I guess I would expect it to be cheap?

Morality and redemption are based solely on the character of God.

The exact same way you'd prevent yourself doing something similar in third person: John ran to the door. He opened the door. He saw the mailman. He took the letter from the mailman. He closed the door. He went to kitchen. He opened the letter. He read the letter. He thought about content of the...
