    What type of music do you listen to while you write?

    I listen to soundtracks and instrumentals mostly. I also listen to Indie, R&B or ambient music when I feel like it.

    Writing Help Regarding Trauma

    @Amae @Arexio already offered you great insights and there isn't much for me to add. I don't know if this would help you but in my first year of college, I was sexually molested by a man in the subway. I haven't taken the subway for four years now. I learned to ride motorbikes instead. I can't...

    Writing How to make dialogues sound natural?

    I knew a creative-writing teacher once and she told to write dialogue 'realistically' or in other words, write in the closest imitation possible to actual people. Easier said than done. The only thing I came out with from her classes is that dialogue is one of the hardest thing to master for a...

    Mirroring story from own site, okay or not?

    What is the actual average reader's age on RR ? Preteens who don't have WiFi and don't know what Pornhub is ? Why is RR so 'terrified'of sexual content ? Weird.

    Mirroring story from own site, okay or not?

    It's kind of sad. RR has this sort of passive aggressive stance on LGBT works, especially BL. They think every BL story is a pile of senseless smut, which isn't true. Some of us, LGBT writers, do care about plot and characterization. Surprising, isn't it ? LOL I don't understand why depicting...

    Writing Is this alright?

    How about me then ? English is actually my third language, following French. It doesn't stop me from writing and it shouldn't stop you either. In the words of a fellow SH writer, it's okay sometimes to "allow yourself to be subpar" Your writing doesn't have to be perfect. As long as it is...

    The YA epidemic...

    I guess I'm just too biased about this matter to see things as objectively as you do. Probably growing up as a young girl in a strictly patriarchal household makes those kind of narratives leave a bad taste in my mouth. That's my personal issue though which has nothing to do with the books. I...

    So you know all the types and sorts of people in the world enough for them to bore you ? There is an extent to how much you can know about people. There would always be people you don't know and I mean that both in the literal and metaphorical sense. Your judgement feels too...final to me.

    Writing What makes a character unlikable ? ( An alternative to Yorth's thread)

    What I dislike about the majority of Isekai webnovels is their oversight of this very point. Power always has its price. Just look at history. Powerful people have always lived in fear of losing their power and they would go to questionable extremes to maintain it ( tyrant monarchs and dictators...

    Think of it this way, everyone you meet either adds, validates or subtracts something in you. So, talk to people. Some of them might actually surprise you.

    You can't love everyone but you also can't hate everyone. You can't expect yourself to view everyone 'equally'. That is contrary to human nature. In Jean-Paul Sartre's words, the Other is hell, but the Other is also heaven. There is a limit to how much we can exist inside our own selves.

    Being an old soul doesn't mean being 'boring'. You can't be restless and content at once. Restlessness denotes the search of something, something which you lack or can't find.

    Writing Is this alright?

    Hi and welcome aboard SH @Esmeralda :blob_party: There is nothing to fear, no one is born Shakespeare. We all improve through errors and trials. Even negative feedback is beneficial in its own way. Think of publishing something you're not sure of as an experience. You will learn many things...

    And what makes you a useless and boring man ? Humor me and define 'boringness' for me. Another question, what does it mean to be interesting ? What defines someone as interesting to you?

    Mostly discord ones. Some of them are already dead servers and I haven't check on the rest for a while. Well, there are RR, Webnovel, Inkitt, Tapas and other writing platforms. Personally, I prefer Tapas. The latter is very LGBT+ friendly which I like. There are some real nice ppl there. Tbh...

    The YA epidemic...

    lol I didn't mean for people to take this too personally. I'm not kink shaming people for reading those. What I'm shaming is the fetishization of abuse, and by 'abuse', I don't mean consensual and sane BDSM. I grew up with an emotionally abusive parent and he used to package his anger and...
