    Do you listen to music when writing?

    Yep, usually ambient music (preferably by Cryo Chamber). I want to feel like a monk in a monastery writing a scripture.

    Writing Which approach to moving the plot do you prefer: world influences MC or MC influences world?

    Both. I just like to find a bit of nuance in stories that do both. Berserk is one of the best examples, as the world itself influences Guts, but also he influences it inadvertently. Small decisions, such as leaving The Band of the Hawk, paved the road for Griffith's self-destruction, betrayal...

    What is soemthing you get pissed off at when you read your old works?

    But I will personally ask about what was originally posted... WHAT IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS THAT?!

    What is soemthing you get pissed off at when you read your old works?

    Well, it would have to be reading a previous draft of a story I am working on that felt like generic, isekai garbage instead of something interesting. Also, I felt like it was going straight into Millennial writing. That draft was so bad I threw it down to the lowest circle of Hell itself (which...

    Do you love every story you write equally?

    Well, if I did throw them in the volcano, they unleash the most cursed thing all of the realms...! CRINGE

    Do you love every story you write equally?

    Yes--the complete ones at least. The discarded drafts... Actually, they have magical seals around them for a reason; I don't want them getting out. > SHIVERS

    Writing Outlining: How Do?

    I just set up a premise, get a few ideas of how the story goes, write out every plot point, and... WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?! It's now off the rails as following them ruined the narrative flow. In all seriousness though, I just give a basic premise and work from there. I really hate outlining; I...

    Do you ever ‘cast’ your characters?

    Funny thing is, when I write, I tend to just play out their interactions in my head. It's sort of like they're actors in my own mind. I write out the scene and setting, and just show how they talk, act, and interact with their surroundings. It's pretty fun too, and I find them more believable...

    When killing off an important character, friend, brother or someone important to The MC. How do you feel about it?

    I feel a bit of guilt, and a bit of heartache as that character I wrote was someone I enjoyed because of how close they were to the MC. I realize that yeah, I do have to kill them off as it is important for the MC's growth as a person. If life were to be ideal to the MC, they would forget the...

    Which "app" do you use to write(and save your chapters, etc)?

    Google docs. Mainly because I like to write on my phone using a wireless keyboard with a phone doc and like writing for a mental break at work. Plus, Microsoft Word in terms of its mobile app is just BAD. No really, the UI and navigation is abysmal compared to the mobile app for Google Docs. I...

    Why are writers fighting the future AI?

    AI is useful for pointing out grammatical mistakes and plot consistency errors (NotebookLM has been quite useful for that and prevented logical errors within my works). However, anything other than that, I absolutely abhor. Having an AI do something for you (i.e. writing your story, creating...

    What's your biggest strength as a writer?

    Spending way too much time being so hyper-focused on one worldbuilding subject that I overdo it (I literally spent months studying scientific articles regarding circumbinary planets for a fictional setting and several more months making the mechanics for a TTRPG that I postponed development...

    Writing trash for fun

    In fact, I'm now inspired to write something absolutely ridiculous.

    Underwater world

    I find it fascinating. I remember a series called Pendragon: Journal of an Adventure through Time and Space (look it up on Wikipedia, pretty long title) that had an underwater world called Cloral in the second book (The Lost City of Faar). Been a while since I last read it (I think it was in...

    Warning about bot accounts

    Don't know who's going to read this, but I had the weirdest experience recently. I had a message from some rando in my inbox saying "Your writing is impressive, don't lose your spark." I thought that was just a genuine compliment and thanked them. Then they had this "idea" about some scene for...

    Welcome thread for the newbies!

    Sorry. I tried linking my Royal Road account (apparently automod did not like that). To answer your question, yes, they are being uploaded both on Royal Road and on Scribble Hub. It will just be the complete works (or mostly complete as I often catch errors post-launch lol) Both my Royal Road...
