For me it's setting description. I have difficulties imagining places in vivid detail. In my head, rooms are a blur.

Admittingly, my apprehension is probably creating a contradiction in thought. I want to do it but i worry it will mess up the writing process i've been trying to develop.

The idea, at least they way I'm seeing right now, is that i already have the story pretty much plotted out. I know how it starts and ends, and everything practically in-between. I don't think i can say i'm a pantser writer since i do think about these stories to a large extent before i begin...

I've been working on-and-off on a fantasy/adventure novella for the better part of a year now (though i would prefer more on than off but life gets in the way sometimes). During the writing process I've learned a lot of things to improve my writing. I also discovered in recent years I'm very...

I've come to a possible conclusion that one of the major reasons i'm struggling with writing is that i don't have the optimal enviroment to write in.

i'm specifically having the issue where i'm starting a story In Media Res but i do bring in the the chronological beginning as a flashback in the context that the MC is thinking about it in deep thought. i don't want the past tense of the main narrative to clash with the flashback/beginning...

Yea

I know most modern writers probably use landscape orientation on their computers. But I'm curious which writers have tried using their word processor using portrait orientation on their monitors What was your experience? (Edit: i meant physically rotating the computer monitor)

The "He" in question is the Main MC in the summary. I didn't realize i made it ambiguous.

I'll dm the details

Orson Scott Card wrote a scene in Ender's Game where after Ender kills a giant in a video game and he doesn't play for a while, the giant has decayed to bones and small creatures use the remnant corpse as a town. this was decades before owl house. You'll be fine if you make your own version
