    Writing The thing with pronouns

    Look for ways to cut down on their usage without losing clarity, use names, use descriptions. For example Dave charged his opponent, and he kneed him in the stomach, in return he got tackled, and both fell kicking and screaming. Quickly he got up and kicked the man then started to rain...

    Writing How many named characters have you introduced in a single chapter?

    I had a council of essentially most of the children of Nyx. They also preferred their Roman names, but Erebus preferred the Greek ones, for extra confusion.

    Do you ever go back and re-write old chapters?

    Before I publish them, I do go back all the time to retroactively build in some foreshadowing or facts to make things fit better in the later parts. After publishing I just edit the formatting and errors wherever I find them.

    Fellow Authors, what do you do in your downtime? (When you're not writing)

    Half Sword is surprisingly good for little writing breaks. You go in, decapitate a few guys in longsword duels and back to writing you go.

    You ever read a 15th century German text just so you can more accurately depict a certain inquisitor as the loser he was?

    tbh I could smell the direction it was going the moment "suicidal empathy" was uttered. That's replacement theory speak.

    Every other month someone necros that AI Cover request thread again to justify theirs and some people get super mad at OP again, it's honestly fascinating to see.

    PAY ARTISTS !!

    In the end nothing more than that the artist sticking up for their principles was good, and saying that artists deserve AI because some of them are trying to do their job ethically is some loser shit.

    @OtherSlater I dare say it even goes hand in hand with some of the artist hate I see regularly. Some users feel very, strangely comfortable expressing they're using AI to screw over artists because they perceive them as part of a political camp they despise.

    PAY ARTISTS !!

    Thing is, they don't make money. They generate stock value, but that lasts only until investors notice that this thing will never generate the returns it promised, despite Microsoft trying to force AI into every component of Win 11, despite phones building assistants into everything.
