    Anyone else have trouble keeping the names straight when reading a story?

    This is honestly a great way of writing. To give traits to a character that are very well defining makes them more memorable. Just like how I am the Pink Wizard rather than just a wizard will make you have an easier time remembering said character. Colors, physical traits (big ears, big feet) or...

    Anyone else have trouble keeping the names straight when reading a story?

    Oh yes, terribly so. Whenever I read Manga, Manhua or Manwha I will almost always forget their names unless they are somewhat common names or easier to remember. Of course this also extends to Western media. The character's names are easier to remember if they are named John rather than Björn...

    What are we all researching right now?

    I have been slowly trying to get more and more back into writing and I keep getting interested in attempting again to write a book. My last attempt was... A pretty big flop. I realized that I am absolutely amazingly terrible at writing characters as I seem to not quite understand what makes a...

    Any of your stories tackle bullying and how did you handle it?

    One of my first writing projects was a short story about bullying. It was so well written apparently that my teacher at the time was very concerned and asked if everything is okay. When I tackle bullying, I do not focus too much on the bully. Because as someone who experienced pretty severe...

    Do you have a routine or schedule?

    Hehe that do be wisdom you are now writing. I definitely need a bit more persistence in writing, or perhaps a purpose. I tend to feel that I am writing into an empty void sometimes as I am mostly just writing as a hobby currently. And thank you! I thought I should fix my profile a bit so that I...

    Do you have a routine or schedule?

    That is a good way to see it! I do like writing things as long as I have something going as I might revisit it later at some point. I tend to use music these days to inspire myself, or other media. Certain anime or manga's have some great moments that give me lots of inspiration at times. Even...

    Do you have a routine or schedule?

    I tried to re-watch the video but sadly it didn't come back. That's what I meant with my imagination being almost like sparks, once they go out, they are out. I need to put the base of the story or setting as soon as I can before I forget or it is most definitely gone forever. Truly a pain I am...

    Do you have a routine or schedule?

    My latest notes is mostly ideas for short stories that I wanted to write. Such as "Jupiter, the gods furnance" and "Summer Heat" - But I completely forgot where I wanted to go with either one so they just remain completely empty... I really wish I remember the idea I had because I remember the...

    Do you have a routine or schedule?

    It usually helped! Because pulling out pen and paper while you are outside on a walk feels incredibly... Disorientating... But what sometimes happens is that you just make a ton of notes and sometimes nothing ever comes out of it, but I do enjoy reading through them as I have had occasions where...

    Calling All World Builders! - Tales of Elysium Collaborative Project

    I am a self-taught writer of 10 years who is amazingly terrible at writing characters, but I have a pretty good knack on environmental descriptions as well as poetic writing. I tend to love writing with a fantasy style as well as using themes of psychology whenever I fitting as these two...

    Do you have a routine or schedule?

    Personally, I am very wild when it comes to my writing. Since my inspiration tends to come to me like sparks, I usually have to act upon it the moment it comes or risk losing said inspiration. I have tried carrying around a notebook but it usually ended up being a bit uncomfortable, so I...
