    How do you get over writer's block?

    I remind myself that I'm going to trash the whole thing later and rewrite it anyway. That way it doesn't have to be good. Or make sense.

    Is My Story Isekai?

    I personally have no idea. I've been seeing this word a lot like WTF is this even. Only today I decided to finally look it up. But your comment makes me wonder if there's a deeper meaning attached to it?

    Why must it be this way? Why not just continue with a new MC?

    What makes a fight scene good?

    Oh, so we're posting our own work, then? Ok here's my fight scene: We all crouched low in the darkness with bows out and arrows nocked, looking out. All around us, thick vines and ferns filled the ground like a sea of green with islands of groves like the one we hid beneath as far as we could...

    Is My Story Isekai?

    Specifically, he grew up in one village and is told by the Emperor to go fight a war somewhere else that turns out to be utterly unlike anything he's ever imagined. But there's no magic portal. He just walks there. The question is if I add that tag to my metadata will Isekai fans be...

    Is My Story Isekai?

    I kept seeing this term pop-up over and over, and so I googled it. Here's what it gave me: a character is suddenly transported to or reincarnated in another world, often a magical or video game-like one. The protagonist frequently gains new powers or forms and must adapt to survive and thrive...

    What makes a fight scene good?

    What makes a fight scene good is the same stuff that makes a sex scene good. First and foremost, context. Foreplay. Build-up. Why are they fighting? What's at stake? A good fight scene is maybe 1000 words. A great fight scene is 20 chapters of why I'm bout to kill this mofo before you even...

    Question for the ladies

    Ok so here's the situation. MC and his friend have arrived at the foreign city and walk around, seeing the sights. What they see [but can't process because of their patriarchal upbringing] is that women are in control. They get catcalled and everything, and they don't know how to feel about...

    Recommendations Anyone have a book I can get hyped for?

    Mine is character-driven low fantasy with a sprinkle of steampunk. MC is an orphaned peasant sent to fight the Emperor's shadow war. Enter a different world, unlike anything you've ever read. I've been pushing this out for over two years and have hundreds of followers across multiple...

    I'm tired of OP heros

    Here. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/967246/a-place-to-bloom/ My MC's "power" doesn't actually show up until chapter 55, he doesn't understand what happened, and doesn't even learn that he has a "power" until chapter 62, at which time he still doesn't understand what it is or how it works...

    I'd love a review (or two)

    You asked for a few chapters, I read through about halfway through the second before I just got bored. I was bored in the first but pushed through hoping it would get better. There's no conflict. No tension. No stakes. You have the party going through the dungeon for no apparent reason...

    How much faster does a mechanical keyboard make you?

    Am I old or something? You said "mechanical keyboard" and my first reaction is "wth is that?" Then I realized you were talking about a typewriter. But why would you want to write on one of those? Those keys jam all the time if you're fast, you have to buy those ink ribbons, and feeding...
