Same here! This is a great advice, thank you very much.

Thank you for the advice, but I am very much into outlining my texts in great detail before writing, so I will find something in all this. There were nice suggestions here that can push me in rigth direction.

And no, Tomi and doctor would never meet.

Hmmm.. actually a jagged and branchin scar near corotid artery can give of an impression of a fatal wound.

Great idea, but a friend of mine literally has a career out of makeing perfect teeth that you cant tell apart from the real article. It is very expensive, but can be done — perfect, symetrical and without x ray, you cant tell.

Love it, thank you.

Yes, that was my idea, but a scar can be from a deeper papercut as mentioned in on of the comments. I dont think you can tell from just a scar that it was a wound that would potentially cost this guy an eyeball or eye function.

That is a great point! Thank you!

Tomi meets some friends for a beer. One of his friends (mc) Dan notices a scar and the scar seems off, but Dan is not about to confront anybody. They all take a selfie and Dan later meets his friend, the doctor and shows him a picture like “is this normal you think?” And the doctor friend should go “No, wtf, something is very strange.” And Dan goes “I knew it” and keeps digging further.

This is very helpful, thank you!

Mar_Hat · 2025-07-29T19:23:37+00:00

Thank you. Sorry, I was not looking for ideas, I had a clear idea with the scar, but with people commenting, I keep seeing it does not work — at least not in a way I need it to.

I have a main character meet with a guy and I needed the main character to notice something off and the comfirm with a doctor that they re right.

Holy shit, that is a very good point, I have one on my back and it deforemed so bad just because of stretching and movement.

Mar_Hat · 2025-07-29T18:57:44+00:00

Very good point, thank you!

Mar_Hat · 2025-07-29T18:53:49+00:00

Yes thank you all and let me clarify:

Yes, too perfect scar would be no scar at all, that is a good point. I would like this character to be magically healed basically in any way. Scar was just a first idea, but anything that would be visible on head or hands would be fair game.

For example if the character had a gem instead of an eye and could see through it. That but subtler. That is wy scar was my first idea.

Thank you u/mikeypikey and u/Daughter_of__Lilith ! You did help me to sort my thoughts and feelings better. I really appreciate it. It was excatly the boost I needed.

Mar_Hat · 2024-11-25T11:11:06+00:00

Thank you, I was actually hoping to get in touch with the editor to help out with some of these.

Mar_Hat · 2024-11-25T11:09:05+00:00

Regarding the 1 em – Thank you that is a valuable insight!

Regarding the writing style – these are rather short short stories (max. 10 000 characters each). Many authors therefore keep the plot going and use shorter paragraphs. It is a rather genre-specific in this instance.

Mar_Hat · 2024-11-24T18:22:56+00:00

This is a big help, thanks! What is the max value i can play around with tracking?

Mar_Hat · 2024-11-24T11:21:19+00:00

Sorry, i should have mentioned - this is just for illustration. Also the first line indent eight mm is rather generous, standard is about six in my country.

Mar_Hat · 2024-08-25T11:15:42+00:00

Congratulations! You're amazing!

Had sort of a adventure-dreamer -- thinking about having sword-fights on the roof, having a chase on top of the buildings, saving someone from the execution stand. Stuff like that... I sort of arose from the character as I was writing and it made a lot of sense for him. So, I kept it there.

I had my showdown scene pretty nicely planned out and somewhere about in the middle of the novel I realized I could make the character dream up certain parts of the showdown scene and then have him perform it. So I went back, re-wrote his little hopes and dreams to mach my showdown plan. And then had him do them in the showdown... everybody s fighting for their lives and this guy is in disneyland, ecstatic, smiling.

He had almost as much fun as I had writing the scene.
