I'm not planning on making a living (Tho I might publish my two original fictions, can't publish the fanfictions because you know, copyright) on it yet. I'm taking it at my own pace. I was in a writing slump for a long time (no interest in writing at all for a good bit) until recently where I...

When I'm working on multiple, I actually CAN focus down and work on them, one at a time, one chapter at a time, to make some progress. I'm the same way with games, I'm usually playing 2-3 at a time, though usually no more than that. Usually longer ones (or one long one and two short ish ones)...

No I'm not talking about what goes into the actual stories (not that form of writing style) I mean how I'm handling keeping myself from feeling burnt out on any one story at a time. Currently I have four stories 'cooking' right now, used to be 5 but I put one of those on the back burner. Thing...

Tried that in the past, leads to 'burn out' on the one project in most cases. (often not even 3 chapters in) Having limited flexibility gives me options on what to work on keeps me from being 'fully' distracted from too many ideas at one time. I'm making sure I make 'progress' on all four by...

I finally decided to stop writing 'new' ideas as they come to me and decided to finish the ones I'm working on first. That still means I'm working on four big-ish projects, but that means I have a goal, and I have two projects on the backburner.

Gonna play a tiny bit of Metroid Prime 4 tonight when it releases (Should be midnight release for digital, if not I'll just go to bed) Been Playing Pokemon Legends ZA and Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment.

Forgive me for misspeaking if I am, but if you spend the first 10 or so chapters explaining the backstory of the planet and hardly any of that is 'relevant' to the modern day plot, people are gonna fall asleep. (Not saying that's what you're doing here, just advising against it) There are plenty...

I couldn't think of a 'proper' villain for one of my projects for weeks. Then it hit me. Why do I need a 'villain' at all? (At least the 'big evil idiot that you punch at the end of the story' kind) I made 'it' an actual force of nature that needs to be quelled every now and again. The...

In my story there's some dark consequences for what happens when your three magical principals get too far out of balance. Those consequences depends on the person and who they learned from, a good bit of them wind up some form of mad (if they weren't already) The story itself doesn't focus on...

I spent an entire chapter building up to a scene that explains the barest basics of my magic system, and the difference between flawed and skilled execution of it. The actual part explaining the magic system isn't written (yet, as it's at the tail end of the chapter) but it's also the...

So you're saying Hallmark movies are written by AI? /Silly I second the opinion that any company willing to replace human employees with AI to cut costs is not worth your time.

Considering his backstory, he does have one significant scar on his back (though he does wear thick armor plating to 'hide' it) from the time he dueled his 'mentor' with real swords. Otherwise his body is pristine, and if he does get scars they're only surface level scars that heal within a few...

The thing with my idea, I don't want it to be 'oh ancient humanity was real and suddenly we became magic one day' which, SO many stories have done. I want the 'antiques' (Regular TV's, microwaves etc) to be novelties that the magical people thought of before they realized they could do so much...

So my setting for my story is very much a 'high' fantasy setting, Elves/Dwarves/Orcs the works. But I'm thinking of having 'antique' technology, that's closer to what we use today, and magical technology. I'm fairly certain this is common, but I'm wondering how far I can push the 'normal'...

To be fair, the whole reason I'm debating changing the phrase is because it's a 'fantasy' setting with a mix of 'normal' technology (TV's, soda machines, regular computers etc) and 'magical' technology. The characters would know what that phrase meant if they said it out loud, to eachother, at...
