    I have a story idea

    I also find with my isekai series I need to walk a fine line with some things. I guess it is actually very frowned upon to explain how to make bombs. I was talking to an editor who helps people with Amazon with some questions.

    I have a story idea

    I wish I could just write, if I don't plan everything it turns into a mess.

    Tridetect all art thread

    I'm shocked we don't have artists advertising here. I have been looking around, but I don't think I speak the same language as them most of the time.

    "Curse" of immortality

    I think it really depends how the immortality works. The human body constantly sheds dead cells. Every 10 years the body you are in has been completely replaced as every cell has died and been replicated. We actually believe this is the main reason memory fails with time. This would actually...

    Create a character you don't understand?

    I feel like if, as the person writing the character, you don't understand them yourself. Then the writing of them will be crap. Mystery doesn't come across, unless you make it mysterious. The only real way to do that, is by withholding crucial information. The only way you can do that though; is...

    The pizza I tend to order is just chicken parm on bread at this point.

    What do you think makes someone a monster?

    I like taking the society norms and making an extreme of it. Capitalism has Bernie Madoff, Fascists have Hitler, Authoritarians have Stalin. I have always believed the scariest monsters are the ones we make ourselves.

    Is this just me but I’ll find it incredibly hard to find interesting books to read?

    I actually always really like the isekai genre just because it was so similar to how I did world building for D&D. In order to get the details I wanted in the various worlds I was building. I would create characters and throw them into the worlds in an attempt to exploit them. I have also just...

    How would you write a story which is 'PSYCHOLOGICAL'?

    I think the best method of crazy, is when you don't know it is happening. Fight club was a really good example of this. I think you also need to carefully consider just what you are going for. I look at insanity as a type of character development. It can add a ton of flavor to a character, if...

    How would you write rumours?

    Social media is always a fun idea. Let them stumble onto it thinking it is someone else's problem. How ironic would that be if you were laughing at some loser, come to find out it's you. Or if another person just asks you about it directly.

    What is the Single Best Anime OP?

    I will add some I listen to while writing. These are ones that aren't as mainstream. Another good one. I love how upbeat this one is.

    A good Kingdom Building story.

    RTW was a great novel, I just hated how it ended. It's a rare genre because the amount of research is huge. Your gonna run into a contradiction with kingdom building and that is the word king. You have to have a line, and old outdated views mean you get judged on the women you are with. So to...

    My second chapter got more views than the first?

    I had seen this in the past. Did you add a cover after the first chapter? Another thing that can happen, since it is early enough in the book, is some people can click the second chapter than just backtrack to the first in the novel and that will adjust the views when they go back to the...
