Tell *me* what to do! No, really, I need the advice.

I don't know if this is exactly a response to your story, but animals from zoos will return to their cages if driven out of them. Assuming they aren't killed and eaten along the way. Is it weird I'm bothered by the extra 'l'?

I will literally drop any book or story (that isn't Lord of the rings itself) if it wastes my time on long descriptions of stuff that doesn't matter. If you wanted to paint a picture so bad, go to art class.

I actually kind of hate everything about writing (the actual writing part itself, specifically). I much prefer the world building before hand, and the editing/redrafting after. Writing the initial prose is like pulling teeth.

It depends on the story, of course. In most of them, a broken bone would heal at the regular rate (i.e. if I was going to feature a broken bone in the plot, would look up how long it normally takes), though in the one with "magical healing" bones (and everything else) heal in seconds or less...

Literally just persistence, tbh. I always write *something* every day (even if it's crap), and sometimes I write something productive.

given that the Japanese are super racist, probably not.

See if I can get myself banned challenge (no slurs, any%) A sad man walks into a doctors appointment, tells the doctor he wants to kill himself. Doctor says, "Have you tried turning yourself into a woman?" The man tries that, but is still sad, so he returns. The doctor says, "Of course...

I laugh because there was no option to cry

The second dialog tag tutorial I've seen on SH, but I think this one does a better job in spite of being a fraction the size.

Now if only we could be paid even as well as that guy to do it

Cringe :blob_evil:

I second the sentiment that the key to interesting "fantasy" races in stories is not how often some particular morphology appears in other stories, but in how their culture develops given the difference in nature. Like, if goblins are naturally low empathy/high group cohesion, what does that...

Elinor, from Sense and Sensibility. The one true waifu.

Starting to feel the creaking in your bones yet? :blob_evil_two:

The DuoLingo voice model is unironically amazing, but I suspect it's a lot of work to make it sound as good as it does (in terms of telling the model when and how to emote and such). Given the lack of ready made training data (i.e. books with the sections already tagged), I suspect a general...

I see only one other person gets to keep their kidneys. Green haters get the blender!

Tolkien? I didn't know you had a SH account! (on a serious note, asides from the last bit, this was probably all good advice)

The actual answer to this question is, "However you want it to work." That said, one common method of having gods fight each other is through each other's followers (if your gods are built like that). They could have champions, or grant powers to mortal, or whatever. You have to design...
