    Do you love every story you write equally?

    I definitely have 'favorite children' but it's not a big deal. There are certain works I have more fun/feel more engaged when writing, that's all.

    What can I NOT say in my works?

    I'm certain you can say it, but as a line in the narration of prose it wouldn't exactly be compelling or legible to anyone not familiar with Petals of Reincarnation. You risk alienating/annoying readers by relying on a niche reference that you're not even confident making. Unless your intent is...

    Unless you're using a specifically designed tool (Grammarly, DeepL, etc) you're going to get inconsistent and generally unhelpful asistance. The limits of (and, frankly, bedrock design of) the general use chatbot style ones mean that they struggle heavily with consistency, often make 'educated'...

    How long does it take you to write 2500 words?

    Between one hour and one month depending on the strain of madness afflicting me. ETA: To expand on what Leslie says above, which is correct: Did this 1,000 word chapter that I rough drafted in an hour (which is standard/ideal) take an hour? No, once it's publishable it did not. It might have...
