given the small amount of information, I would suggest very clever use of foreshadowing. Nothing overt. toss in little hints in his dialogue and scenes that are so indirect as to be barely noticeable, while highlighting their supposed good points. Things a reader might catch only in hindsight...

As long as you are not looking to make a career out of writing, (as the approach can be vastly different.) Let me give a small piece of advice for writing, or any art. Do not write for the peanut gallery. Do not do art for anyone other than yourself. This can be hard to practice, especially in...

God of the Lost? Whether people or items, a god who delights in helping things return to who they belong and assisting others to find their path.

The internet.

Learned that other people might interpret what you say differently from how you meant it and to be careful and deliberate with your words. A piece of flippant advice I gave to a friend is a pre-teen caused him to make a decision leaving to him overdosing on a drug but thankfully not dying.

Yes, and she felt the same. The ironic thing is we didn't really realize our feelings for what they were at first. Both of us were inexperienced, and had a lot of stuff going on at the time. We only both confirmed those feelings later with each other. We're still together several years down the...

It depends on what you want image-wise I think. On the one hand you might get a temporary boost of readership for putting sex in your novel (on this site in particular.) On the other hand, novels with smut are almost never taken too seriously in the world at large. The image of your work itself...

Well one of the cons for sentient weapon would be they would never be seen as a full person by the majority. After all they were created as a tool meant to be used, not to mention that they usually don't have their own physical agency. In my mind that might develop as resentment of a kind over...

This sort of reminds me of Margret Weiss and Tracy Hickman's, "The Deathgate cycle" they have something similar to a form of geometric magic. It's a magic of affecting probability itself. There were two separate races (forgive me if I misspell them I am pulling this from memory.) The Patrons...

Well, you can enjoy a lot of inspiration from a plethora of sources. Whether it's direct mythology or indirect fiction. I've always wondered What if the Fallen were human? Not that every human was Fallen, but what if the Fall meant you would be trapped in a mortal body, and doomed to live a...

My muse is an alcohol fairy with mild depression having an existential crisis, shouting abusive language.

Ask Pandora, she let the cat out of the box.

I think that last one might actually be an Illuminati slogan. ?

I acknowledge that. But that was specific to those kinds of cultures. I was writing from a generalized European prospective, but my point still stands. If you write from a point where the culture allows it, then that's that, but if you write from a point where there is significant cultural...

The world has gone off the rails and the purpose I created it for could no longer be achieved. All I could see was cycle after cycle of accumulated disaster. It NEEDS to be destroyed; for the sake of the mortals, death is not the end, even if mortals fear death it isn't as consequential for them...

For me, it all depends on the culture of the fantasy world you are building from. Cultural pressure to conform is a real and present thing. For the most part we don't have very many historical depictions of such women in those times because women simply were not allowed and highly discouraged...

Honestly, I don't think it's wrong to be a bit upset that she lied about it. It must hurt that she didn't choose to want to be in a relationship with you, but that's fine in the end. People are free to choose who they like, and who they want to be romantic with, it's good that you found out now...

Try automatic writing. Just write as fast as you can without thinking about what you're writing or bothering with punctuation, for 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it helps to knock things loose and give the brain a jump start.

In my experience, people who have various mental problems of such kinds target empaths or otherwise emotionally vulnerable people. This is largely because they are more easily manipulated to stay within a cycle of abuse. They put up with bad behavior for far longer, and often make excuses for...

Edgar Saltus- for his style. The cadence of his syllables and mastery of his tone is downright hypnotic. Hermann Hesse- His deep dives into the spiritual aspects of mankind through fiction are enthralling and make you think. George McDonald- his fairy tales and fantasy inspired my younger self...
