Before I start let me clarify some things. This is not an attack on anyone but an actual question. Is it just failed attempts at drama? Is it something going over my head? Why is it so common in the adventure genera, that it feels like 70% of these stories have it? Also, I understand that some...

For it to be conciderd a winter, in this discussion, the ground and water needs to freeze for more than a week at a time, and if a storm were to form or pass through it would be a winter one (Snow, sleet, hail, etc.). The character(s) start said survival in spring with no, or very few, tools...

Honestly, I am confused as to why we weren’t taught this in kindergarten or in school generally. It also makes timing things in seconds pretty easy. Oh, and the previous sentence was the only hint I am giving, not that you need it.

Create and describe a monster/creature in as many words as it takes to do the job. If you are feeling up to it do it as you would find in a story, compared to an encyclopedia. I was walking home when, there in my path, a large strange creature stood. It had tens of thin long seemingly wooden...

Yesterday I spent 15 minutes creating a magic system to prove a point. That led me to think that there is no need for the reader to be given the metaphysics of the system in question if not important to the story. Which is probably something I should have realized after spending multiple months...

At writers block. Here is a prompt, to take my mind off of improving, that I have already created. — ———— I live in an old, small, and desolate city called, Gullnain. Gullnain sits with the mouth of the Lauin river to its south, the Great Yixlna lake to its west, and the forested Golden...

I feel like people forget that you can add diegetic sound to writing. Personally I feel like it can both sell the and set the mood of a scene. For this you can come up with your own passage, use something you have written before, or something.

I used midjourney for a cover idea, for a horror/mystery. Which is better?

Rules: Write about the aftermath of the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Here is mine: —————— All surviving civilians were evacuated after Superman and Godzilla clashed. People, buildings, cars, all were nothing in front of their particle beams. Their fight had spread throughout the whole...

The goal is to write something that begins with: ‘Yesterday, 41 people went missing after…’ Here is mine. ————— Yesterday, 41 people went missing mysteriously, after a freak whaling accident in Kansas. Witnesses said that they saw four large fishing boats patrolling through the Flint Hills...

Basically I have hit a wall in my outlining for a new story. I spent too much time on the power system and now I have a couple of conflicting ideas for which direction it should go. I am just spitballing some ideas, and wish to see which is more interesting… but first what I have so far: Terry...

Hello! I just want to start a small discussion on how, why, & when we read. Whether you read slowly or fast. If you prefer one genera over another. How long and how much you read at a time. How you decided what to read, and other things like that! Anyways I guess I will go first.
