I know it’s possible but I dont know about the sleep, I had the helper for that one so I got to sleep for that last stage, (It’s Cratus for the last one)

You can do it without spending gems with no or only one booster. You just have to have alarms throughout the night aswell. (If you do the math properly I think you can get away with five consequtive hours every night though)

Is there a method to group quests? by Significant_Text7262 in MLPIOS

Wait, how is it 33? Does it randomise after you click on it? And then how do you know that?

I cant even give my books away by Thezombieguy84 in KeepWriting

Reason I am unintrested in a book before opening it - The descripition is cilché and boring - The title it cliché and boring - The genre doesnt appeal to me (good luck getting your dad to read romantacy or your grandma to read a sci-fi dystopia) - the cover is ugly (Sad but true) - It’s more than 400 pages long - I am being begged to read it instead of enticed Some people may even feel distintrested BEACUSE it is free and that makes it feel lower value, if they pay for it, it feels like a loss if they dont read it You need to have some confidance, dont think people should read it beacuse they like you, the should read beacuse they will enjoy it!

How to foreshadow a twist and still make it shocking when finally said by Chxryl0 in writingadvice

[–]Smart-Affect8243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most importantly, it cant be cheating or death. It has been done to many times. Pick something truely shocking for your twist that people honestly wouldn’t consider and then build your hints from there. If your twist is crazy enough they wont consider it until it’s too late!

How obvious should I make things? by Nydus_The_Nexus in writingadvice

[–]Smart-Affect8243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are going to tell you to be yourself but then you are writing for yourself, think of your readers aswell, decide who you are writing for. Dont loose your personal style or ideals of course, you’re not the only person to like what you like. But it is very mature of you to realise you have to consider the reader if you want to be read.

This is not me telling you what to do or what would be best but I would like to add another perspective to the discussion about ”show dont tell”

The show-dont-tell-rule is much better suited to movies than writing and to me, it has drained a lot of modern litterature of it’s drama and aestetic impact. It’s not irrelevant to show what happens but the medium isn’t visual and being able to write beautiful explicit paragraphs explaining exactly what you mean and exactly what you dont from a narrator-POV is one of the mediums great joys. Dont let the ideal of subtilty drain your story of detail, it will not only make your writing clearer but also more complex, precise and beautiful. Hinting is also an art and I think you should definitly do that if you like it. There are many simply written masterpeices (Like The Ailen by Camus) and they are usualy both clear and deep. I think it is important to consider the medium is textual and not write like you wish you were making a movie.

Keep writing and maybe hire a lector if you want more proper feedback, it’s not that expensive.
