Writing is the only way to improve. There's no doubt that if you keep working on your skills, they will develop. Another way to do it is by reading! It can inspire you and help you create your own style of writing by noticing trends and/or patterns.

Ah, as a romance writer myself, I think it really depends. Slowburn is such a loved trope. My first romance-centered book I plan on posting when I'm done with my current has them flirting basically the entire novel and ends with them getting together in the last two chapters which is probably...

Technically, you already have your villain. It's the natural disaster. I don't think a villain necessarily has to be a person. The natural disaster is the antagonist.

Personally, in order to be considered a "masterpiece," I don't think any piece of media should have a plothole. Even if something does, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad piece of media. We're humans; we overlook things sometimes and make mistakes, but we can still be good and create...

I SEE warning noted :blob_dizzy: (y) my novel isn't sunshines and rainbows either LOL

OFCC if I can squeeze your novel in sometime, I'll definitely jump there first!

I'm with you on this. It's strange imo. People have full capabilities to create adult characters for explicit jokes. Why make it surround a kid...

I see. I'm personally too shy to share my work with friends, so I typically just deal with the work myself. Maybe there's a group on here for proofreading? I would offer, but I work sixty hours a week, so I wouldn't be able to promise my brain would be quick enough for what you need help with ?

From what I've seen, lots of AI flags writing styles. It picks up on the first writing flow you have an applies it to the rest of the text document. Like, if it thinks you begin with a formal style of writing, it'll continue to recommend switching and/or changing the remainder of the text...

Swearing is such a funny concept to think about. I use regular swears. More aggressive ones for the more aggressive characters, and gentler ones for the more gentle characters. But also, if it's your own set world, you can play around and possibly create your own. For example, my current novel...

Omg assassination classroom. Childhood favorite forever and always

Some people have such good writing schedules. It kind of amazes me. My decision to write comes randomly to me, and sometimes I stop and switch what I'm doing. I write when I have time or feel like it, and I can usually hammer out quite a bit. I never keep track though. I just know that I can...

This problem is sooo funny because in my current work, I literally cannot stop making one of the pairings just suffer. It's kind of addicting... However, in seriousness, it's not always the correct way to go. Make sure there's reasoning behind it. Why are they like that? Why did they do that...

Completely depends. If it makes sense then sure, but if it doesn't, it can be off-putting. Now Another by Ayatusji Yukito is my favorite series, and I wish everyone would read it because it's just sooo good, but there's one aspect in it that I roll my eyes at. There's a specific middle school...

There's a few things you can do. I'll use some of my published work as examples: 1. Avoid just line after line starting with "[Dialogue]." Try adding in words or actions before. It's common that when you begin a new dialogue you should start a new line, however, if the actions have to deal with...

Street smart but not book smart. I have a few characters like this. One is named Malaya Tapang. She's an incredibly strong, half-blooded phoenix. However, she's a little air-headed, bold, and expressive. One of the smarter characters of the series says something along the lines of, "Well...

If you think your idea is generic, then do the opposite! You wanted a healer? Mm. Flip it around. Maybe someone who curses other people in the dungeons to steal and score

1. You should apply all tags whenever. Say you have someone wanting to find a story with an established relationship. If you're not at the established relationship part of the book yet, then you won't add it, so this person searching for a story with an established relationship will overlook...

I'm really writing it for fun and experience, so while I think the quality isn't the greatest, it's something. Severed Wings. There's lots of characters, relationships, and my own set universe of this idea that the gods accidentally created this combined being of humans and a lineage of a beast...
