    What writing exercises do you guys practice?

    I've found that reading books, especially for those in my writing "weight class," helped me figure out styles I disliked. However, I also found some specific aspects of a few writers that I enjoyed, so I tried to practice them and improve my work.

    Review Swap Please!

    Wrote a review. And hey, it's your first novel, so I will cut you some slack. However, I'd say this isn't a book that's going to get much attention because of the recycled premise and shoddy MC. I've been in your shoes; my first and second novels stunk, too. Just keep writing, find a good...

    Superhero stories?

    I'd say so. You can generalize a superhero story if there's essentially a good guy opposing a bad guy (which is like most Isekai, LitRPG, and Progression stories). But to answer the question, if it's a FanFic story, you'll get some interest. An original superhero story will be harder to sell...

    Communicating in depth Fight Scenes?

    That's called creating excellent prose, efficient sentence structuring, and delivering tactful diction, my friend. Whether you can check all the boxes depends on your writing quality. However, I will give you tips through examples. How do I communicate important details or thoughts to show his...

    Communicating in depth Fight Scenes?

    I won't write a whole essay on the subject, but these are my three tips. 1) Less is more - Don't bog down the details like you're visualizing an animated fight scene. Rather than, 'She kicked him in his shin, made sure he fell low enough to follow up with an uppercut,' write 'She kicked his...

    Prolific Writer Here: What do you readers want to read? (I'm feeling the need to hit the keyboard)!

    I concur. She also gained some popularity on SpaceBattles and SV, along with her other fanfic. It's still interesting it happened, though.

    I've been writing something different than most (I think), will it be as popular as the mainstream giants?

    Depends. Do you want MONEY? Cash?!? The BIG BUCKS? Then no. This is a terrible idea. But if you're just writing for fun, who cares? If you really want genuine feedback, there are websites for that. HOWEVER, Slice of Life anime are making a comeback, gauging the seasonal anime for the...

    Fellow Authors, Here's How You Can Make Money!

    I'm still making around $2.4k per annum for the first trashy novel I wrote on WebNovel (and I basically gave it back, as I bought custom hardcovers of the series for my highest-paying readers). If you're a first-time novelist, you should just go on and sign exclusive rights while you are still...

    Prolific Writer Here: What do you readers want to read? (I'm feeling the need to hit the keyboard)!

    Psychological Thriller. But is this even a serious question? Just check the Rising Stars category on RoyalRoad or Trending on ScribbleHub for repetitive tags. You don't even have to create anything new nowadays, just jump on the LitRPG bandwagon like the rest. A few days ago, however, some...

    Looking for feedback: An AI tool to automate in-chapter illustrations

    I apologize. I was being stupid. Web-based ML algo was refreshing my tabs. This is pretty cool. I can definitely see cinematographers using this tool for story boards and stuff. For someone who has a more ranobe style of writing, this would be very useful for storytelling (especially for us...

    Parasocialism is a disease that will plague this generation into oblivion. It shields you when million-dollar donating YouTubers like Beast get caught in legal allegations, but it also creates false narratives for people you'll never ever meet. Not saying he isn't a good guy, but neither you nor...

    This may be my cynicism, but you can't judge a person based on their perceived media personality unless you know them in person. Building ball pits, giving to charity, etc., are just good PR habits. I should know; I work at a talent agency.

    This man, Dan, probably has bearer shares or crypto investments in the company and shared the tweet to garner attention. No one would talk about the Lunchables knock-off if people realized you give it more attention by trying to make it seem heinous to the public. I promise you the 1% plays the...
