My will to read this exhausted by the point where you start on something like lewd fluid extraction something like that. Without the surrounding context, this reads like cheap porn. In the first paragraph you have oddly placed adverbs, this this redundancy: Feeling a little more confident, I...

Princess Rosalynd's eyes are light green. Twice I described them as dark green. I hate when I do that. Then I have Ranía wearing a blue dress at the end of one chapter, and at the beginning of the next chapter it's white.

Why can't we have both?

I'm a serial pantser. Still am, but I've figured out some ways to avoid certain mistakes. Brain-Vomit Draft I used to write whatever, and then stuff happens that really needed to be properly foreshadowed. These days when I write a chapter, I go into it planning to delete the thing and rewrite...

This. With sprinkles.

I use Google docs to write bc I like the cross-platform use the best. What I need is a good typesetting app for print bc reedsy free app is just worthless

The way I do it [and I'm not exactly NYT bestseller here] is each chapter is its own story, its own tension, its own thesis. Yes, they tie together with the broader narrative, but [in theory] each chapter works as a standalone short. That way [in theory] a reader can pick up one chapter after...

I read almost halfway through the first chapter and got bored. First, it's clear English isn't your first language. The fact alone that you're able to write anything in a foreign language is damned impressive, so already you're better than me. If I set aside my reflex at being a grammar-nazi...

If you want to know what a mediascape dominated by generative AI will look like, look no further than Disney. Every year, often several times a year, Disney regurgitates the same story they've been writing for decades, slaps a new face on it, and sells it at us. They did it with their native...

🤣 I hate those "look it up" answers. Here's the deal. Everyone here will tell you that you're supposed to post two chapters a week, and that each chapter shouldn't be more than 1500 words. I have no idea if that works and I don't give a crap. My stuff is 3000-5500 words and if it takes...

Actually if you Google that ...

Not your question, but why wouldn't you want to decieve your readers?

hehe I found a typo in chapter I put out two years ago in which I accidentally gave a character the wrong color eyes. To fix that one little issue, I've now spent hours rewriting the first half of the chapter and haven't even got to the point where MC meets that character.

I'm walking into a conundrum where I've been spitting this story out for going on three years now, and in the process I've learned and grown considerably as a writer. I've gone back and rewritten my first 20 chapters give or take, and I'm proud of the result. The problem is that takes away...

Avoid any and all expository or info dump and have them interact with one another naturally. Let your audience infer from there. Here's an example from my own work. You can paint a whole relationship in only two lines.

I put sex in my story wherever I feel like it, and if the audience doesn't like it that's their problem. Seriously. It's NSFW, trigger warning all that shit so they knew what they were getting into. The only thing is I've learned to refrain from that stuff in the early chapters because if...

This could actually be interesting. MC kills a random dude for [reason] and gains [reward: think squid game] Then the tension becomes literally that: how to fight the urge to become a murderer hobo
