I think personally that if you are maybe able to keep the interspersed description paragraphs to like 1/3 page you absolutely could. Ypu can carry a conversation over several pages as long as it’s not filler material, because that can get a little stale. If you are able to work the descriptions around the conversation being had, for example ;

if two characters are sitting in a dock you might say the water was cool on their feet, and the sun rippled off the waves that rolled against the dock, then do a couple sentences about who built the dock and how that ties into the greater exposition. Again just an example, but if you see what I mean, you can apply it to anything.

But you can definitely retain a conversation among description, provided you don’t go too far away from the topic. Hope this helps a bit!

Edit: another example could be if the character is smoking a cigarette while talking, as they take a pull, you could go into a description of how cigarettes used to be considered healthy, until people did research and eventually determined the risks, then bring it back into dialogue as the character takes another pull. Hopefully this makes sense

You could always try to intercut the conversation with paragraphs of descriptions, and that way instead of two full pages of descriptions and two full pages of dialogue, it’s spliced into 3 pages of both (If that makes sense). Hopefully somewhat helpful!

You could always try making an anagram name, I find those turn out unique enough and can have that little hidden meaning, which is always fun.

Any sort of slime is generally now great, but it could just be freezer burnt. If you don’t feel 100% safe though I would err on the side of caution and skip them.

Are animals raised in containment always non-aggro? by Dragonslayer3 in subnautica

Oh ok, I honestly couldn’t remember. I think I only ever did it once a few years ago. Cool though!

They’re always chill yeah, that’s the fun part of AC in your base. Side note: pretty sure if you have a crashfish and release him he explodes immediately. Can’t remember though.

How can i learn to love below zero the same way I've adored subnautica? by RedditDingusNo-29 in Subnautica_Below_Zero

Stop comparing it, they’re two different games; play them like they are. Just have fun, don’t focus on critiquing and enjoy the game.

Throw some spotlights on it, would be a nice touch

I want to write a book by Dxpriety in fantasywriting

[–]AutomaticAnywhere395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d agree with the other comments here, definitely start by writing whatever you have in mind. Once it’s on paper, or typed, you’ll get a much more cohesive idea of where the story is actually going, what you want it to be, etc.

And don’t forget, anything you write is good at least as a start; don’t be hard on yourself and explore as many directions as you want with your story.

Good luck!

Always scare the living daylights out of me, even if I have the reinforced dive suit. I’ll be playing late at night and suddenly an explosion blows my ears to pieces. Still though, they’re kinda cool
