I like to use the end of chapters as a stopping point, and because I personally have problems reading more than 30 or so pages in one sitting, I...
I think what you’re saying is like what I mentioned, it is not a literal child just merely looks like one. And like others have said, the idea is...
Uhh... do you mean ‘looks like’ he’s 12-15 mean that there some kind of magical element that has made him just merely appear that age? Or do you...
I actually think the opposite unless we’re talking tongue-twisters. Alliteration in moderate amounts rolls off the tongue well. In slip knox’s...
If I want to do a straight high fantasy, I feel very inclined to write the story in a typical european medival age a la Lord of the Rings. Its...
Any crime that is unsolved is a mystery, so I don’t think it works. You need a word describe the unusual sci-fi aspect.
I haven’t had anyone tell me to use other words than said since high school, and only then it was teachers who just wanted to encourage a high...

Even though there are hypotheticals I could never find myself enjoying reading, I do not think any content is off limits. What is more important...
I don’t have much to add for this specific case so isn’t entirely useful information but here’s a point to think about: My brother, who is gay,...
I don’t think these people exist. The idea of becoming famous for being an author is, well, extremely unlikely. People write because they like it,...
I’ve had flying dreams quite often but it wasn’t until recently that I realized it. In these dreams, me being able to fly is some kind of natural...
So I’m a guy that can only write something with a lot lf thematic value (which sounds like I’m being pretentious but it really sucks becuase I...
I think it just comes down to writing like you’re someone who can’t read minds or make assumptions about the characters/setting, even if it’s from...
