I have no idea if it's technically right or wrong, but this is what I do. No one has ever corrected it. Not a friend who reads my stories or any editing software. I'll just use some random writing I have for my example. I use a comma when I insert a dialogue tag, like "said", "spoke", "yelled"...

I try to use good description to paint pictures in my head because I cannot draw out my ideas for the life of me; I have zero talent with a brush. But if I really want to get a picture in front of me for a character, I use piccrew or open Sims 4.

What ^^ said. The point of focus is the 'cheap price' and not the 'two bars of gold.'

Idk why but I'm always afraid to ask for someone to beta read my stories. I just rawdog it

I think it all depends on what kind of story you have, what your protagonist is like, what point of view is it in, etc. My current book starts off with a group of gods speaking with one another so that the reader can learn about how the set universe came to ease readers into what the set...

I go by how frequently I post. Right now, I do it twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. I was thinking about doing it three times a week and move it to Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays to space it out

I'll use a common grammar mistake for an example. Say in your head you wrote "me too" but in actuality you wrote "me to." And every time you reread over it, you're still reading "me too." Your brain isn't comprehending that you didn't put the correct form, and it's only seeing what it wants to...

Depends who is getting thrown into which world... my book I'm currently posting has a few mcs really. They're all human and beast hybrids, like for example, one of the characters is a human but she has phoenix blood running through her. Beast-humans have this powerful energy that surrounds them...

Lmk if you need more help! I'm not the greatest writer of all time and don't think I'm super good or anything, but a second pair of eyes looking at your work will always be able to spot what you can't. Your brain tricks you and makes you think what you wrote is actually what you wrote and won't...

I see, that's an interesting concept for the history lessons! I hope you're able to work it into the story, even if it happens to be later on. Ah, that's a bit like doing phonetic spelling if you want to think about it that way: writing character dialogue directly how it's said. I have a...

Most people separate lines between a different character speaking. Your work here isn't bad, but I do sense a bit of a choppy feeling to the flow. Personally, I would switch Aria's line to its own line. It adds an easier read for readers by letting it be known it's a different speaker than the...

I try to stay away from doing dialogue in serious and/or extreme situations simply because I don't want it to kill the mood and I'm too afraid of it coming across as corny or something. Not that you can't do it at all, but it's something that I try to keep only as heavy descriptions with minimal...

Well, yes, things do change if the point of focus is the change in gender. My point was that I find more appeal in trans characters than I do this idea of a gender bent character. I'm not really fond of it at all. I was just trying to keep that opinion out of my point lol

Ah, I see! Good points, thank you. I'll keep them in mind

Novelupdates has the links for translated asian novels. You have to have an account and be logged in to be able to access it though.

I wouldn't label a 1 smut chapter of 100 other chapters a smut. Not label it as a complete genre, but it is involved in the story, so I think it should at least be included in the tags. Speaking of, I've had a question I've been wondering for a while. I haven't reached the smut chapter yet in...

I use google docs and Microsoft word, switching between both of them depending on where I write. (I write at work sometimes LOL). I use a customized heading feature to help me organize chapters, and I created a folder on my computer where I have folders for each story: the chapters...

For me, it's a turn-off simply because of how I grew up seeing GB stories and tropes. I have always seen it as people of switching the gender of the character and outrageously changing their features. Ex. when changing a man to a woman they give them long hair. The strong representation of this...

There's so much you can do with magic stories because the possibilities and combinations are endless. For instance, my book has humans and these human-beast hybrids, and they don't typically get along. So much so that their cities are separate over a three-day trip of land. These beasts are...
