Presumably. Most of the stuff I write is on the shorter side when it comes to chapters. I write a lot of these crazy stories with twenty viewpoint characters that jump around all over the place.

My stance is that you shouldn't rewrite any story at any time. Just write a new one. Life is too short to get mired in rewriting.

What exactly is a chapter? I have some stories where the chapters are five thousand or more words, while I have other stories that have chapters as short as three or four hundred words.

I had this problem. Writing Into the Dark by Dean Wesley Smith and The Pursuit of Perfection by Kristine Katheryn Rusch will cure this diease.

I've been lurking on the RR forums and it came to me today that I has also been posting here on Scribble Hub. My Oni Rokura story did all right over here, a lot better than on Royal Road. I'm gearing up for another big writing push. I'm deciding on an exciting story to write--probably going to...

These aren't pirates. They're plagiarists.

If you use AI, you're not an artist, or a writer, and you're certainly not creating art. But hey, if the cookie-cutter off-the-assembly-line style story as "corporate product" is your thing, then go for it! What most writers don't understand is that what makes writing an art is the voice of the...

Need to indie publish those.

Well you keep writing, of course! Now the question is, what's going to be your shining achievement in writing? Your magnum opus, your crown jewel? Tell.

Revision is a modern thing mostly. You'll never be productive doing it, and you'll get bored with writing. Learn to write a novel that doesn't need a bunch of revision.

Start with the characters. What are they doing? Why, and what is getting in the way of their goals?

I would ask you this: who are you trying to get the words to sound like? The story is not the sum of how its words sound, and most likely the words will sound like "you" if you don't edit too much as take that out by accident. This is called author voice, and you want that in your prose...

Whatever you like writing. Personally, I've been aiming for short, but collected, making a large body of work.

Uh... Never read it. The poem is a display of contempt for the medieval archer from the knight's perspective. Cute!

O Noble Lions! Strive with valor ‘cross fields of blood with courage duty and obligation, Compelled are the men of the blue and gold to endeavor forward and to fight and hold! Over the mounds of fallen friend and foe across the way the enemy will know, Common of breed and of no mind for...
