I’ve been working on these stories for a few months, so I have a large backlog of updates to publish. Right now, I’m working on update scheduling and polishing, but I’ll be back to the creation process once I get those squared away.

Fair deal. I have two projects in the pipeline, then. One is the main narrative I’ve been writing for a while, the other is a short story anthology set in-universe. Let me get the links for those: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1464894/echoes-of-lescati/...

That’s actually what I’m doing with the other project I have. Same universe, different timeline, or at least a different part of the timeline. The first chapter of that gets released in a few days beyond my long-winded preamble. Here’s the link to that, first chapter drops June 9. Before The...

Alright, judging by the responses, I think I’ll continue the story thread under the simpler title of Echoes of Lescatié. Thanks for the advice.

My first project is wrapping up with uploads in a few days. It’s a good ten-hour binge (maybe I’m highballing it, but the word count is 60,000 or so) but I’m curious to see what you think. The link is in my signature.

First off, I commend you for wanting to rewrite your story to make it better, but I caution you regarding your definition of what “better” could be. If you’re fine with sticking to genre-specifics, then by all means write to please the audience. If making others interested in reading your work...

So, I have my series I’ve been working on, wrapping up in the next week or so. My question is this: Should I continue the series using the same format, or should I break off from that and start up a new series as a continuation of the old one? I’m going to take a break in between, but in the...

With my current title? Unfortunately, "evil" is more of a spectrum. Edvard definitely does a few fucked-up things on screen, but his sister, Giselle, is an assassin, but she only did her job, her kills happening before the story starts. You could definitely argue that ruthless combat efficiency...

No, I should be apologizing. Your question is legitimate, and while RepresentingDespair did answer your question effectively, I’m personally disappointed by their use of AI slop. Your uploads are quite good, though the first one drops a little too hard into the uncanny valley for me. It must be...

It’s an interesting thought, but I don’t know if I would enjoy it. I grew up with those point-and-click adventure games, too, Myst being one of the best in the genre. However, watching someone play it, as opposed to being the gamer on the keyboard, needs to be entertaining if you’re essentially...

Ah, a legitimate use case for AI slop. Honestly, I think it would have been more entertaining with a meme.

I have no blessed idea on how to self-promote my works. Anyone have any good advice?

I'm going to agree with ACertainPassinguser here, as they explained it pretty well. Explaining colors using objects or other visual concepts is probably the strongest way to associate colors with someone. Does this mean needing to find other iterations? Yes, probably, especially if the...

This is the opinion I hold about authors and writers. We aren't simply creators, but viewers into another world. All we do, as the writers, is translate what we see into something that we can more easily relate to others. As a fellow voyeur, I'd say that I don't always hit the mark, but I like...

I wouldn’t say this is a “physics” question, but more of a metaphysics question. As an oiled hat D&D player, when a character of mine got amputated somewhere, if keeping the character around is more important, then you don’t just find a way to adapt. As such, I take inspiration from other...

I'm a horror buff, so "scary books" doesn't really set me off. However, everyone needs to start somewhere. When I was a kid, I got utterly terrified by the Ghosts of Fear Street book, The Attack of the Aqua Apes. That was a real page-turner, and it left me on the edge of my seat as I read...

I thought the Hancock Tower (both of them) was in Boston? My parents are from there, so I'm a little more familiar with that city's skyline.

They're both good, but if you're trying to decide on which to keep, I would suggest the skyline photo. If I'm not mistaken, and let's face it, I probably am, that would be Willis Tower in the skyline? If so, that's a solid cue, especially to Chicago natives, that the story takes place there. If...

No, this is terrible. I think it can be the mark of a fantastic player when they choose "human fighter" as their character, and the rest of the table absolutely loves them. This could be because the table is particularly combat-centric, but at my tables, we tend to be more roleplay-heavy. My...
