    Named chapters, yes or no?

    If a character makes a joke in that specific chapter, or does something specific, then just use that as the name.

    Does a villain always have to be redeemed?

    Killing the villain is fine, but not my mine characters! I need the fluff! If anyone close to the main characters die, the fluff won't be as good! You know of the rule of cool, but I shall coin the rule of fluff!

    Named chapters, yes or no?

    I always either make a pun, or name the chapter after what it will entail.

    Named chapters, yes or no?

    For me, I really like naming chapters for my novels. I also really like it when other authors do the same. It makes it easier to remember what chapter you were last on, and is helpful to me when I need to make sure I reference something from an older chapter properly. I am curious what readers...

    How to write a proper killing intent.

    Killing intent is similar to bloodlust. Sounds edgy, I know, but it is a real thing that you can feel. It is super hard to explain, though...

    What do y'all use to write?

    Simply because it is more than a note taking app. For me, it doesn't take up more performance than Scrivener does. Some overhead is worth it for how optimized you can get with obsidian. (There are also app versions, which you can sync your projects to. There are some free syncing plugins, but...

    What do y'all use to write?

    It shouldn't, but I would recommend backing up your vault just in case. (IE, copy and pasting it into a different folder.)

    What do y'all use to write?

    So far, every language model I've seen has pretty robotic outputs, which really aren't useful to me at all. Btw, there are a few Obsidian plugins for AI. I haven't tried them out, since, like I said, not my cup of tea. (Maybe a few years from now they'll be good, but even so, I still prefer my...

    What do y'all use to write?

    I think that is just a version of choice fatigue? Basically, it has so many options, that you seize up. Like when you go to the grocery store, and there are just so many things to choose to buy. This is what Obsidian looks like for me when I write. Very minimal UI, and when I need a side panel...

    What do y'all use to write?

    Like I said, it took me four hours to set it up as I wanted it to be set up like. Though worth it, it was somewhat a hassle. All of the plugins are available within Obsidian to install, so it doesn't require you to download them yourself. As for costly, do you mean price, or performance? As...

    What do y'all use to write?

    My ADHD requires me to make everyone as optimized as possible... Or is that OCD?... Well, yeah, lots of plugins, but they do help a lot. For instance, Completr is an autocomplete plugin. Like when you write an email and gmail helps you auto write some words. Great for dyslexia, as I misspell or...

    What do y'all use to write?

    There aren't really many tutorials for Obsidian, and most of them are for note taking, oof. Really, the best help I can give you is just giving you list of all of the plugins that I use. (I don't use ALL of them, but I do use most of the ones for writing. If you don't use it already, the...

    What do y'all use to write?

    I've asked this question on RoyalRoad before, but I am curious if there are any differences for authors on this site. For me, up until like a month ago, I used Scrivener for my novels, but I since switched to Obsidian. It took like four hours to set it up for writing, since you need a lot of...

    Bulk import, or multi-chapter adding, would be nice!

    Hello, rather than post chapter by chapter, (Not counting my long novel, Celia, which I've written up to chapter 200, but only 70 chaps are released) I like to finish a novel completely before releasing it. Uploading chapters daily is nice, and gives a decent window of time where people can sub...

    How long does it take you to write a chapter?

    In sync? More like, hyper focus due to ADHD. I mean, it works out well for working or writing, but sometimes ADHD sucks, haha.
