    What's your main writing technique and speciality?(Explained In JJK)

    My writing is just highly-focused insanity. I could dance in the mall food court dressed as a knight in a tutu, or I could ride a unicycle downtown while making chicken noises and throwing hamsters at random citizens. Instead, I take that insanity and force it through a funnel, until it comes...

    Anyone else struggle to write romance

    I had a similar realization as a reader. For most of my life, I thought I didn't like romance as a genre. I just never enjoyed romance movies or books. Then I read a lesbian romance novel and had a realization. It wasn't romance I found boring, it was men. I know that sounds horrible, and I have...

    Has anyone else learned to spot AI stories?

    Things like this bug me, because I use em dashes a lot, and don't want to be accused of being AI. Never mind, I'm pretty safe from accusations, then. :s_wink:

    Life Advice? (Dark Topic)

    When I sort my own life out, I promise I'll come back and let you know how I did it. Today is the one year anniversary of the worst day of my life, and I've spent most of the year hiding from the world. Trying to go forward feels like walking in deep mud, the kind that threatens to steal your...

    Sleep schedule.

    My schedule's been all over the place this past year, as I've worked several temp jobs with varying schedules. But generally I sleep about 10 PM to 6 AM.

    What do you use to write with?

    Another Scrivener user here. It has a lot of great features, but they're never where you think they should be. I spend a lot of time Googling how to do certain functions. But it's great for writing, organizing your ideas, and formatting books into EPUBs.

    What is the biggest mistake in your life?

    I'd have to say credit cards. I'm debt free now (except for my mortgage), but I spent so many years throwing $500 a month out the window, paying the minimum amounts on card balances that never went down.

    How to keep writing when no one reads your novel

    An awful lot of the time, it's not about quality, it's about marketing. Some truly bad novels have been super popular. Now if they're reading the first chapter and then dropping it, it could just mean it wasn't the genre they expected. Or it could mean you need to start with a more exciting...

    Thease Clankers are getting out of hand....

    I've been posting a lot of short stories this week. So far I've gotten six messages in my inbox. Each one says something about my story being touching or engaging or whatever. I reply a short, simple, "Thank you!" Then they mention that they have some ideas, and that we should take our...

    Stories with an MTF protagonist, discovering herself. Bonus points for romance!

    Hey, EriLu, are you also Eri8929? Because if so, the DMs you've been sending me are written in a pattern very similar to the spammers who frequent this site. Just curious.

    What's your opinion on the ocean.

    It's deep and mysterious, which I like. But it's also kind of damp and has killed many, many people. 5 stars, would ocean again.

    Stories with an MTF protagonist, discovering herself. Bonus points for romance!

    Thank you for the examples, I like to read (and write) trans self-discovery stories. I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'll be adding some of those to my TBR.

    Dungeon Clawler. It's billed as a "Roguelike Claw Machine Deckbuilder" and its insanely addictive. And there's bunnies.
