    Look mom - I am drawing.

    I once sat in a community of people drawing their manga and wondered what I could do if I created my magnum opus as a manga. Could I handle storyboarding and other aspects? I gathered my notes, quickly sketched something out—and this is what came of it. Of course, it’s unclear—this is just a...

    Do I need to put the images under a spoiler?

    Look mom - I am drawing.

    If you’re wondering who that black-haired girl in the pictures is, here’s the answer: she’s the main character of this story (Karat. A little girl and a big being.), and also a character from my magnum opus—a visual novel I was never able to finish. I’m not drawing Mom.

    What's your opinion on making up new words?

    A dictionary only contains words that are in current use, not every possible variation. Creating understandable words is based on the rules of the language; whether or not to use such words, in my opinion, is a personal choice. I might be mistaken about the original text, but the Russian...

    Are cultural differences off putting in a story ?

    If we take anime as an example, the effect it has on a newcomer, comparable to a bomb explosion, occurs because it reveals an entirely new facet of familiar phenomena—one they’ve never seen before. Stepping beyond the cultural norms that shaped you— is that good or bad?

    Look mom - I am drawing.

    Alright, I gave up on developing my drawing skills a long time ago, but thanks anyway. I even have a chapter of a fake manga. The quality is total trash—it’s just a rushed concept. I’m not sure I’ll have enough energy to translate the whole thing. Do you want the manga?:s_eek:

    Look mom - I am drawing.

    nice to meet you :LOL: I’m not very good at forming sentences without a translator, sorry. I currently don’t have the opportunity to continue writing my book, so I decided to post some things from my archives.

    Need feedback on my story.

    This is a character creation issue. Learn how to craft believable characters—ideally, by reading plenty of high-quality literature so you can absorb the techniques. Then you’ll be able to create characters “by template” without digging too deep into psychology.

    Need feedback on my story.

    “He still couldn’t believe what was happening—after all, he only wanted to help his patients.” This is phrased very poorly, or else the doctor is a genuine maniac, possibly schizophrenic. And the whole paragraph afterward—he comes off as a flat character, like a soap-opera archetype. And it’s...

    Need feedback on my story.

    Yes, “Samizdat” and similar platforms. You’re wrong about the audience—new authors (in fiction, at least) do make some money. If I were a Russian citizen, I’d already be selling my book. As a new author, I barged in with my isekai story and could theoretically be making a profit. Because of the...

    Is it healthy to use ChatGPT for an ego boost?

    The AI is set to give positive responses. I am not a developer. This is an empirical conclusion drawn from the combination of many facts, including direct communication with the AI.

    Alas, I don't have the opportunity to write even what I started to publish.

    Am I the only one who thought of this idea?

    Most likely, story just won't be popular. Complex themes are unpopular. I came up with a paradoxical joke, laughed, and sketched a draft of a sad story on half a page with an unexpected twist at the end. Then I realized it was a dead end.

    Am I the only one who thought of this idea?

    “Do goddesses dream of philosophical zombies?” Scientists implant an advanced neural network into Boston Dynamics’ top robot. People take photos with it, ask uncomfortable questions. But once the hype dies down, it turns out that nobody really needs the robot. After trying it in numerous jobs...

    What are the earliest memories you have of yourself?

    I can tell you things you won't believe. I remember a lot of what I did before I turned one and a half. The first time I ran away from home, I managed to open a window, took a bookshelf off the wall, and used it like a ladder. When I climbed down into the yard, I felt like the first person on...
