    Is This Idea Any Good?

    Thanks! This is more what I was looking for. I'd love to upload on a regular basis once I figure out, as you said, how often that will be. It would be no less than once weekly I expect. I don't follow blogs as such - partially why I'm considering making one, as they say to create things you...

    Is This Idea Any Good?

    I see what you mean, though if I were to post chapter by chapter, or extract by extract, I couldn't guarantee I'd have enough content to post daily for any longer than a month or two. Guess I'll have to try and see what works out and what doesn't.

    How should i start my fantasy story?

    I'd say, to avoid falling into some cliche writing traps, consider how you're writing some of your ideas. I have personally always been warned against the "it was all a dream" or the lore dump before a character begins their journey at 15. Not saying these can't be done well though - it just...

    Is This Idea Any Good?

    Thanks! I was never going to assume it would take off swimmingly, and I am very unaffected by online trolls, so it does seem as if I'll have to give it a shot to see. It's just attracting the initial traffic that becomes the issue. Gotta start somewhere though!

    Is This Idea Any Good?

    Sorry if this belongs in the marketing section - I'm completely new here and really hope this doesn't get taken down! I've been considering this website/blog idea for a while now, but could do with some feedback on whether to make it a reality. It would be a website to post my story, chapter...

    I dreamed that my dog was made of mozzarella

    Coming across this in 2020 and honestly this is what lockdown has come to and I'm completely happy with it. You just made my day.

    Lore or Story first?

    In my opinion it would depend on several things - what perspective you're writing from, how interesting the past/presence/future of your world was/is, and generally how you want to structure this kind of story. For example, if you find there's one event or time period that stands out, you could...

    Need help compiling a list of verbs and other words so make better prose.

    If google is not being too helpful, I'd continue writing for a start (don't lose the pace of your writing due to one word). However, I try to think outside the box. Sometimes I end up using those words in my everyday language where the definitely don't fit. For example, I would use the word...

    Survey on full-time writing (Vote, vote, vote)

    I'd love to write full-time in the form of books, and creating a community who actually enjoy and expect the next book and discuss it would be the DREAM. I'm also a musician so no matter what creativity WILL be my future job, or I will probably live in limbo for the rest of my life...

    Starting a story with the death of a child.

    I, personally, would LOVE this. But then again, I write and read already dark fantasy. I think this is a gripping beginning, introduces a character at their most vulnerable (or potentially not, who knows), could introduce the harshness of their world/life, but most of all, is just plain...

    Too much Dialouge in chapters/paragraphs

    It depends on what the writing includes. An argument, for example, would be great if there was a lot of back-and-forth short sentences. Introducing/explaining part of your story's history may need that bit of explaining through dialogue that you can't avoid, but as long as you keep an eye on...

    How To Kill An "Unkillable" Race

    Maybe they could kill each other? I don't know, the first thing that came to mind when reading this thread was that maybe they are unkillable by SOME races. If there was a way to convince, control or distract them, their immense strengths and skills could be used against each other? Could make...

    Which is better? Absolute fantasy worlds, or "Secret Underbelly" fantasy worlds?

    New here so sorry if this response is all over the place! I think it could also depend on your characters and plot. If you want the world to feel secretive and maybe like an escapism, choose the 'underbelly' (great description, by the way). If you want your main character to stand out this...
