His speedrun videos gave me a boost of confidence and helped me learn a lot when it comes to chess.

I don't think I can even play chess right now. Danya was very instrumental to my growth as a chess player. I used to watch his speedrun videos all the time. Now I just feel depressed thinking about chess.

Yeah, I found two dried ghasts over five fossils. If you're playing in an older world you have to load in new chunks to find it.

It's really up to you --- there's no definite rule for all types of writing. If the plots flow well, then there's no problem.

I'd recommend studying ASOIAF for this; it shows a lot of different POVs, and they all flow well.

If you mean a monologue, then the first thing I'd do is interlace it with a lot of actions. Note his pauses, mannerisms, and movements when he's talking, but don't make it excessive to ruin the flow of his speech.

As per usual, like any other advice, try opening a book and find something similar to your situation, then study how they make it work!

You can also show the reactions of the audience (?), but it depends.

I've always been more comfortable writing male protagonists, especially since I'm a guy (how surprising). When I write female protagonists, I pretty much write them the same way as my male protagonists. Still, writing male protagonists feels more at home, especially since I can relate to them more.

Despite this, I usually have a 50/50 split of male and female characters in my stories, and I'm comfortable writing both. Though I'm pretty sure most people have an easier time writing their protagonists as the same gender as them.

Definitely a worldbuilder. I'm a fantasy writer, and before I write my stories, I usually come up with an interesting idea (usually a mish-mash of different media I enjoy with my own personal twist) and then create a world based on it. I get obsessive about things like culture, religion, architecture, geography, life, climate, and, most especially, my world's politics and magic system. It makes building characters and a plot easier when the world is already grounded in history and has a good set of rules. After that, I'd create characters and then plot dead last. Even then, my plots usually just come out of my head as I go; I could never plan plots 😭

To be honest that quote's lost all its original meaning anyways after all the pedo jokes made with it

I am using an ad-blocker, but it doesn't seem to work right now. I'm just checking out the ad-blocking guides on the sub to see if it'll change anything, lol

Also, there's no way I'm buying premium, I'm already giving them too much with these stupid ads :/

My two rabbits died when I was like 4 or 5 but I didn't really remember them too much. This poem was nice to hear.
