Please take this into account as you read' or something similar to old stories with no updates. That could be an idea?

    I want heartwarming stories or movies

    Don't know if you're okay with like published books too, but I remember reading "The Boy on the Porch" by Sharon Creech and that was really heartwarming.

    Recommendations Searching for reverse chase books

    Novel that comes to mind is "I'll Be the Warrior's Mother" which has the female lead chasing after her husband, though it doesn't have much chapters yet. Villainous Daughter Aims for the Last Boss is another one as well. The heroine from Miss Appraiser and the Gallery Demon is also on the bold...

    Why do some authors use present tense narration?

    Tbh I think present tense and past tense plays a big role in setting the tone for your story, too. The jarring-ness of present tense is also what makes present tense so enticing sometimes-- it can give your words a more gritty quality (?) and introduce a kind of surreal sense of being (?) that...

    I need help

He used to say that when he had a really good idea, he'd save it somewhere-- all his plans for it, everything-- and then leave it if he knew he wouldn't be...

    Other people have probably written similar stuff to this, but I have a sister who's an extravert but had a time when she was very insecure. (She's a lot better now! :D thank goodness) From what I remember, she took everything (and I mean everything) personally-- someone makes a joke about...
