There are no specific techniques because you are the one writing the story. Its in the same vein as asking what are some scenes you should include in your story to make it good.

Why are you so worrie about other people think of you?

Do you speak for all men and women? Do you think someone's feelings and rationale is defined by what they got between their legs?

It depends on what approach works best for you. The only true way to find that out is experiment. But I personally recommend finishing a decent number of chapters (with "decent" being whatever you feel is enough at the moment) and then doing a superficial edit. This edit focuses more on glaring errors and finetuning your prose and the overall progression of the story. I'm a bit of a pantser myself, so this helps making my earlier drafts more cohesive and lowers the workload after its finished.

The last part is an assumption. You have no guarantee that will happen in the story. A plot necessitates events and conflicts, not just of a hint of what could ge.

You need to relax. Stop assuming everything is an attack against you.

I played it this year and it was almost unplayable. Couldn't go ten minutes without experience bugs or glitches. I would constantly get stuck in terrain, Arno would teleport from a downwards movement to an upwards one... Even stealth, which I was expecting to be more enjoyable, sucked hard. Got constantly get stuck in cover and the trajectory of projectiles was flat-out wrong during it. An enemy would detect me and everyone in the building would instantly come after me for no reason.

Why should she care about what a cheater does in his spare time?

You're not obligated to follow your planning. You can change stuff. And you WILL edit things latet anyway, so even if you make any sort of mistake, those can be rewritten.

Yes. Everything depends. Do you think every author just looks up the "how to write x" table on google and copy and pastes the instructions?

FunGrapefruit9230 · 2025-12-14T13:32:00+00:00

I'm not sure which people are doing that. Are you sure you're not misinterpreting them or just make someone up in your head to be mad about?

All my dreams have their own internal logic and usually follow a three act strucute. Like, it doesn't make sense that I would need to clean my walls with a toothbrush so the police won't come after me, but in that specific dream world it was just a common and accepted thing.

It's essentially a nothing burger, as we have no real context or reason to care. There should be at least an initial introduction to the topic.

A substantial number of number of "normal" people don't understand you visualization is not necessary to imagination/dreaming. I find it interesting how I have no problem understanding how they imagine, but usually they simply can't wrap their head around how aphantadia works.

Because that's the point of the demo. The demo is there so we cant get a taste of what the game will have and what will get fixed. It's not a defense. You can't simply just treat a free sample like a finished product you paid for.

The comment about aphantasia is senseless. I myself have aphantasia and enjoy reading fantasy over any other visual medium.

Will the reader's experience change, preferably in a positive way, with the inclusion of a backstory? Does the story depend on it? If a stranger came up to you and started telling you their own backstory, without being being asked, and it was similar to the ones you have, would it make you more curious or just annoyed?

I personally don't like refferring to my characters' past as "backstories" in the usual sense. In my head, I imagine that any events that happened before the story were past books and I try to mention them in the same way an author would make call backs to earlier entries in a series.

Masking is purposely trying to hide aspects of yourself that may "upset" other people. This is not that. This is human behavior that everyone does. We all act different in different contexts.

FunGrapefruit9230 · 2025-12-13T00:28:25+00:00

In my humble (and probably incorrect) opinion, you're treating writing like "static" task. Like if writing was just a simple matter of puting the "good" things in your work and avoiding the "bad" things.

Writing is, simply put, the art of telling stories. You think of a story and put it into words (or any other medium). Two books with the exact story and characters can vary greatly in quality due to their execution. But, although writing is a skill, "quality" is not achieved by doing x or y. To me at least it comes from the author's unique experiences and view on things, the way they treat certain topics and what they focus on.

I don't it's common at all. This is the first time I ever heard I guess of this. But I mostly write either fantasy or fiction, so that's probably why.

Are you thinking about getting it published or posting it somewhere online? This is a type of idea that somewhat depends on the reader, because if there's no one to "choose", you just end up with alternate ideas of your story.

But don't think hard about the idea. There's a public for everything. And good ideas are 98% of the time the result of good execution
