    Help ! character monologue

    Might as well describe what happened in 3rd person. I never liked long monologues because spacing always looked weird when I broke them apart into multiple paragraphs. As for one giant paragraph, I tend to avoid putting anything over 3 lines.

    How much symbolism is there in your story?

    Instead of trying to figure out symbolism, I prefer to add subtle implications that can tell more about the situation if the reader wants to dig into it.

    You are transported as-is to the world of the most recent story you've worked on, you must stay for 1 year

    Depends on which world I find myself in. If it's the mc's original world, then that's just an alternate earth. If its the world in the first arc and 2nd arc, then I have a 50%. After that, I'm dead.

    Favorite Quotes

    "You build a man a fire, you keep him warm for the night. You set him on fire, you keep him warm for the rest of his life." This just sticks in my mind because of how well it parodies the original saying

    Writing Bite Size vs Lenghty Chapters

    Stockpile Chapters?

    At this point, I'm just writing for fun. However much I get done is however much I post. No point in stockpiling when I don't plan on a set schedule.

    Opposing stats.

    Had to nerf the mc somehow. Otherwise, it would be a short story and author doesn't earn much money.

    Opposing stats.

    Just don't think about it that way. I try to keep things simple if possible or just avoid the problem by not explaining things.

    Self fanfiction?

    What if I write a fan-fiction based on my own work? I would need to create another account to do so and it would be some work, but it would be good promotional material. Just a random thought.
