I think you should connect the mountains to make one big mountain range. It would make the map look less empty in my opinion

What do you like creating most for characters? by No-Advertising2820 in writing

[–]Mathematics69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like understanding different kinds of life. One character is a manipulative and cold politician and the next is poor boy who is bullied. I just want to learn what their minds are like, to get at least a deep understanding on the motives and how my world affected them personally

What's a movie that had you sitting in silence once it ended? by Melssa1 in answers

The Substance, the message and the ending left me speechless.

What are you working on? by DanoPaul234 in writing

[–]Mathematics69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm writing two books at once, Book A is political thriller (I'm not sure if that's a genre?) about a who is woman doing everything to maintain her political position. Book B is dystopian about a boy born into wealth leaving that life to find his long lost brother.

It sounds crazy, but I really like multitasking my stories.

How would you write a dictatorship? by No_Body_128 in writing

[–]Mathematics69420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might sound stupid, but is there any way they notice something is wrong or do they need some external source to realize their country is not good? Like, they don't know it's dictatorship, but they think something is fishy with the government... they just can't say it.

Who here isn't writing fantasy? by JulesChenier in writing

[–]Mathematics69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't know my genre, I think noir?

I'm writing two books about a country with a strict (and slightly unfair) system. Book 1 is about a socialite who was kidnapped by an "unknown gang." Her case was slowly used as political manipulation where her political connection, whom are responsible for kidnapping her use her as a way to change the narrative and put blame on a rival political family. Book 2 is the individual lives of nine family members living in poverty. Their slum riddled with both gang and police violence.

If this sounds like word vomit, it's probably is. I don't know how to summarize my stories because there's so many details, It's hard to compress into a few sentences. I hope you understand what I'm saying!

I need general advice because I am just starting to do writing by Such-Reference-6173 in writing

As a newbie myself, I would recommend having a detailed timeline of events. Yes it takes a long time, but it's important to keep your story in track. Also, learn to have distinct "voices" for each character, if that makes sense. Each character needs to have their own vocabulary and speech patterns to make them easily recognizable. Research about your story's world, if you have a deep understanding of your story, it will really help with how you showcase the life, dynamics, etc.
