Step outside of my comfort zone? But it's comfortable in here! Yeah, I like to stay with the things I know, which is really any type of fantasy, but I have been branching off into dystopia a little, but considering I also read dystopia it`s not a far leap. I have tried before to write a...

I tend to vary them up, honestly, on what seems important or in need of more description, or if i'm trying to portray a certain thing. Mind you, I try not to make them too long, as I have had to drag myself through a long paragraph that really needed to stop, but I still think long paragraphs...

I can sway between the two depending on my mood or the type of story. For example, if i'm inspired by something I might just start writing and let the tides take me where they may. However, I chose outline because that's typically how I do things. I'm not too diligent, I fully expect I will...

I agree with Skip and Asura completely. I would say you should only capitalize if you're talking about a specific form.

I answered no. If an author weaved a story, and I want to read that story, I'm not sitting there thinking about the author, i'm thinking about their work. If you wrote something properly, you will have me engaged in your story not in you. I know people often say that women talk more about...

I think it's fine how you're doing it. I personally like to give the reader one distinct thing to recognize a character by. It could be demeanor, appearance, personality, whatever. We'll say 'bright red hair' as an example. It leaves room for a readers interpretation, which is important (as...

You'd be surprised how likable these types of characters can be. Generally, people can relate them to those they know, which can be different that the main characters that at times seem to have no flaws or make no mistakes in the way they go about things. With this guy, you're just showing a...

To be honest, the first thing I thought about was The Dementers Kiss in HP. It's a similar concept. That said, I really do like the idea. I can see how it would be a great aspect of the World, and the story. If done right, it would be very interesting. I think you're right, it does raise a...

I really have no set period of time for World Building. I make my World around my plot, and add as I write. So, for me that means my World Building isn't done until my novel is. I may not add all that much, or I may add a lot, it just depends. As for the time I spend just working on just the...

I like them both. I think that for the most part, someone who is familiar with Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Anything that can use a created language wouldn't think twice after reading Bipedas, especially with context. So if you like that one better, I'd use it. Personally, I do like Bipedas better. I do agree...

I hand write from time to time, depending on if I have a working computer or if I'm no one near my house, things like that. I would hand write more, but I honestly hate transcribing it on to the computer. I become incredibly bored, skip that part and begin writing what comes next. I always...

I think it depends on the writer. Some people are content sticking in a select genre (or a select few). Others like to create in everything. I say, it wouldn't be best to stick to one genre if you want to branch into another, and the opposite as well. Don't write in more than one genre because...

Are you going crazy? Potentially, but not from this. It happens to me all the time, in fact, it happened just yesturday and somehow an insignifigant character became essential to the plot. How it happens, I don't know. I usually get it from movies, T.V. or even talking to people. Even something...

Graham, I guess you haven't seen my other thread xD http://mythicscribes.com/forums/world-building/2048-looking-rename-group-cultures.html Thanks Morguloth, I'll check it out.

It seems I'm one of the few who would use my real name. My name is boring, but I just wouldn't be able to use a pen name.
