I tend to write between 1.5k and 2k words per chapter but some can be more. Very rarely do I write a shorter chapter than that

I would love to be able to write a gripping mystery or an action filled treasure hunting story

I don't know if that is really as helpful as it appears. I've found that just sketching out a basic pose at this point is easier and quicker than going through the trouble of searching for the right sticker because you can download them in procreate as well. Especially if you have a lot of...

You can't copyright an idea so as long as you're not lifting paragraphs from the original works then it's not plagiarism. The best writers are the ones who know how to steal ideas like professionals.

I both like and cringe at my old writing. I love the stories but the editing needs work

I like when I don't notice the writing style. If I notice it, I probably don't like it

I didn't think you were saying that. I was just making a point. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean I won't give it a (valiant) shot. which leads me into what is the most important thing for me in a story, not the plot but the characters. If I enjoy the characters (whether that's...

The Kane Chronicles is the only story I've ever read that did multiple first person stories well and that's because there were only two POVs and both had strong personalities so it was easy to tell who was talking. It's hard to do and even harder once you start adding in more characters

I was experimenting with a POV I've never used before. First person and present tense? The hardest POV I've ever written. Let it never be said that I don't try new things. But it's because I've written in first person a few times (including finishing a 6 book series that I've finished and...

1. Don't switch POVs so often. It's confusing for the reader 2. First person with a lot of head jumping can get very confusing, especially if your characters don't have strong individual voices. To me it sounds like you're leaning towards third person omniscient but that's a hard POV choice to...

I actually really love this trope. If done properly, the history between them is deep since they've been through so much together... I could be romanticizing the idea of childhood friends since I had none. I hate when the childhood friend never said anything though. One always falls first and...

:ROFLMAO: Bold of you to assume the rest of us aren't shameless about being shameless attention whores. PS. Go read my books, now! ?

11 volumes?! That's super impressive. How long is each volume? While my book is only in the middle of the second arc, I do have the next 4 mostly solidified. Here are the steps I take: 1. I create a character with a lofty goal (like becoming a god) 2. I decide if they're going to accomplish it...

A combination of both. I'm only ever actively drafting or rewriting one story but I may also be working on outlining another and planning another so that once the current project is finished I can immediately go into the next. I'm writing multiple series at the moment so I'll write one book for...

I spent my primary school years reading everything then I moved countries to one where literacy was actively discouraged in high school (they would take away the few books I owned). With no books, writing became my escape

I've never had that problem (I'd need readers for that to happen) but I could see how I'd like having people be excited for new chapters and also how some people could get too annoying with it or demanding with what's actually in the story. I can't wait until I get readers asking for more...

I'm not precious with any of my characters (and I have a lot of them) but out of the three stories I'm posting here, I'd have to say my favorite protagonist is Aster Arman from Solar Alliance of Neveah. She has a temper and can stick her nose in where she shouldn't but she is so confident and...

No. Don't. Throw it in one direction and run in the other. They're basically known as slave contracts in the author world and due to legalese, some people accidentally signed over full ownership of their story and their own name to the company and get nothing for it. It's one thing to sign over...

Lately I've just been hearing that I should give up. I'm not ready to yet though

I thought I did but the failure would imply otherwise. The funny thing is that my advice works to make others successful but it did not work for me at all
