Thanks a lot Lag, you are very kind.
When a mod/admin tell me where to creathe the thread about my doubt, I’ll expose all important data in the new thread I’ll open
Hi:
as a (bad) writer, I have a question because I am stuck in the chapter 7 of my novel. I'd like to expose the reason I can't continue, but I don't know where is the best subforum to do so. Could you indicate it? Thanks
In sum, my problem is: In that chapter, a spy must take of a jewell from...
When you say “is shoehorned into an existing series”, I think you are wrong. A new character from a new series can be a Mary Sue if he has the rest of characteristics you mention. However, I think there are an exaggerated witch hunt against Mary Sues like I have explained in my previous posts
I’m surprised the “Mary Sue” trope annoys you. I have been thinking about that, and I think characters that do all in a perfect way are predecible and can became hateful, so writters shouldn't build them.
However, I think nowadays there are a "fashion" that says we must hate virtuous characters...
I think “show don’t tell” is sometimes is a good advice, but not always. For example, when I started to write after years (since teenage years) without writting, I wrote:
Amara was the strongest girl in her tribe. Once, a friend gave her a rabbit and a bigger woman tried to steal it. Amara...
I’m a compass writer so I usually write like this:
First if all, I know I’ll write a fantasy novel, because is the gender I like to write. Then, I start to think about the main character and later about the plot.
for example, I think: I am going to write a novel about an illiterate woman...
I am not a mind controller, so I can’t. But I haven’t posted this to control other, but express my opinion and read yours. However, I thing I can influence with my words even I can’t control reactions.
The problem is there are a bunch of wrong places for any of newbie writters who wish to...
I like to create stories, that’s all. I write for personal enjoyment and I share my texts to others because I want receive sincere critics, because if I improve, I’ll enjoy more my own stories, because they will be better.
When I mentioned social media, I wasn’t referring about Facebook or other generalist social media (I don’t use FB, Twitter or instagram). I am talking about social networks for writters (some of them are only-in-spanish communities), like Wattpad, sttorybox, Falsaria, cafedeescritores or...
Thanks for your reply, Kasper.
I know sometimes that kind of comments could be honest, but as you have already said, most likely, people haven't read the story.
If "here" is Mythic Scribes, I haven't observed that behaviour here, since I have just arrived. However, I didn't ask that question...
Thanks for your reply.
I think that kind of comments in writer's websites (not only forums, but also social networks like wattpad) are damaging because it's a try to cheat writers to reach a selfish gain like visits to their own blogs/profiles/threads/whatever.
I understand that kind of...
Hello mates:
Before talking about this subject, I want to make it clear that this concern I have is not coming from this forum, but from other websites. Without further ado, I will expose the topic:
As a newbie writer who uses the internet, there is a topic that worries me a lot, which are...
Hi!
I'm a spanish fantasy writer. Not a profesional, only a newbie. I like to share my passion with other mates, so I decided to try here even it's in english.
I have read some articles of the main web and I see is a good site for researching documentation.
Best regards
