Thank goodness for this thread; I completely forgot about NaNoWriMo. There's a novel I've had in the drafts since '16. I'm ready to write it now. Good luck, everyone.

Ohhh, now I understand what the original poster meant. This is good. I misunderstood what a blurb was x.x

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* Hi, scribes. Today, I want to discuss male pregnancy. I have two characters who will be in my story who fall in love; they are both males. In the world they live in, they can transform into anything they want but it doesn't change who they are at their core so they could get female...

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* I'm interested in possibly including a mythical language in my story. Does anybody have resources that would help with that? I want to make like a chant or something; I want it to feel mystical. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Thanks!

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ I like your idea a lot. If I used a method like this, I'd create a border between this world and the next that my characters would go through. For my story though, healing the fear of death is an important theme, so I have to keep the spiritual aspect. Still, moving through...

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆These are good ideas, I like these. I'm making my own mythology, so my story doesn't follow Christian theology. For me, it didn't feel right to have the body follow the spirit to the next world, but I can consider that more.｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ Thanks for your reply!★

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* In this thread, I'd like to discuss how to write free; and by "free", I mean "freely"- without inhibitions imposed on us by the doubts and insecurities in our mind. If we are world building, we can create realities in our stories unlike anything anyone's imagined before because each...

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* For my next thread, I am interested in how you scribes would transition a physical person in the living world to the next in the spiritual plane without killing them. In my story, I thought my character could follow her friend into the next life without actually dying, but I wasn't...

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*I am interested in discussing how you scribes would connect three places. In my story, the world expands in arcs; the first occurs in a forest of dreams, another occurs in a depraved city [like NYC], and another occurs at sea on a pirate ship. These three story arcs are in three...

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* I think the MC's stories are different enough, but for everything happening, you have to show why and how in your writing. How was their father corrupted? Why did he go to America? Why does he want to kill his family just because they are demons?*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Answer the questions for...

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*A court mage would be most useful in my opinion for intelligence. It's like asking, "What knowledge can this mage provide that will give us an advantage against our enemies?". I'd want my mages to do reconnaissance.*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

"i have several question, and i kinda need an example to really understand it. 1. How to write an opening to a story? all i know to create an opening is to use the template of narratives text such as : once upon a time and its similar type, and i think its not good enough." You are pushing...

"Dryden's hands are covered in scars. He believes that's why he's being followed." You could make it more fluid like this: "When Dryden notices the sea of scars on his hands, he realizes that's why he is being followed." And you can eliminate some of those "to be" verbs by writing it like...

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*Your options are actually limitless! You can take those words like "illuminated" and "glowed" and replace them with any verb like "revealed", "exposed", "unveiled". If you interpret the light as its own entity [like a person] then you will become aware of a multitude of action words...
