    How To Avoid Writing ADD?

    I have a similar problem. Too many ideas wanting to get onto paper. What I do is get the ideas onto paper and then pick one, I get quite far into planning/research or proper writing and then BOOM! A brand new idea explodes and I find myself in a harsh circle of doom. For example I have 1 WIP...

    Medieval inns

    It depends on how much you are following medieval fact. This is fantasy after all. Where is the Inn set? If it is on a road or in a small town etc that is on a main road, for example; "The Kings road". Where many nobles, merchants and even royalty travel upon then it then yes it is quite likely...

    Giving Yourself Deadlines

    I have tried to set deadlines but rarely manage to stick to them which I find is really affecting any progress I make as I start losing touch with what I have written as some times I realise a week may have gone by without anything touching paper. I want to be more strict with it but am finding...

    Grammar Questions.

    Form my POV both sentences are acceptable in that form. I believe you need the spelling to be *coming* but apart from that I could read those both in a story and not think it to sound wrong. Actually that being said the second sentence is how I actually converse in the physical world and I say...
