    I need help conceptualizing a writing space

    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 live in a place where i don't have much privacy/solitude and i can't make my own room for writing. I have no space for a desk, and all i have is...

    creative stalling out

    A consistent issue i've been dealing with is that i'll get through a few pages or a chapter in a draft where i feel like i have a creative flow and then something happens where i find myself writing less and less to a point where i stop working on the draft, only to return to the draft much...

    most of my story is written in a past tense so i don't know how i could make present tense work

    what tense is best to present a flashback

    basically the MC's deep thought is going to be a vehicle for telling the beginning of story in a more narrative way than just a few text blurbs (except when necessary for brevity). I want to do it this way because I think the present time in the story might be a better start to introduce the...

    what tense is best to present a flashback

    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...

    Do you mess with computer screen orientation?

    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)

    Would writing a landscape made from a dead giant be ripping off The Owl House?

    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

    Character In a Character

    The God's death damaged their memories and the reincarnation into a human form further locked them away. Part of that idea was to have the god, later, finds an object that restores their lost memories. I figure it would also be interesting if the other characters would wonder if the god is...

    Character In a Character

    I'm currently outlining a story using the Snowflake Method and i'm trying to organize a MC who is basically a reincarnated god, but i have two choices: 1) The God and the MC are separate entities inhabiting the same body who need extraordinary circumstances to communicate with each other. 2)...

    Using Limited character description

    One writing concept I've always had trouble wrapping my head around is "how much is too little or too much description?" I know it's bad writing to go over every minute detail of an object or location, but sometimes I struggle with whether or not I'm not giving enough detail. The problem tends...

    Anyone consider using AI Artwork?

    I would probably use AI to try to generate images of characters and settings as reference guides to my writing, but Queshire brings up a good point. To add to it, if I feed an AI program that I have no ownership of and it basically makes a memory based catalog of what I have described to it, I...
