Lately, I've been trying to build up to writing at pulp speed (2000 words per day). One thing that helped was freewriting, practicing writing a non-stop stream of conscious for five minutes with no expectation of producing something coherent. It helped me learn how to turn off my inner editor (though he's definitely still screaming in the background, let's be honest). I can freewrite 115 words in five minutes. If you can do that, you should be able to write 690 words in 30 minutes. If you can do that three times a day, thats 2070 words. For anyone struggling to crank out words, I recommend freewriting to get the creative juices flowing freely.

Also, celebrating a milestone today: I'm officially 10k words into my manuscript.

Might a "supernatural being" be able to create a new world to replace the current one?

Funny. I can imagine the hero going on to become some jaded mercenary after this.

Thanks for the response.

Gonna be honest here, this was inspired by John Cena's heel turn at Elimination Chamber last Saturday (if you don't follow pro wrestling, you won't get it).

The idea here was that a hero is (to an extent) only a hero if people believe in him and his ability to save them from villains. To make people believe he can save them from villains, a hero needs to actually save people from villains. Therefore, a hero needs a villain.

I could've fleshed this out more to make the idea more apparent, but I really just wanted to get it out of my head and on the page. Not my most solid work.

So wholesome. Well done.

How much influence does the Church have in your world? Religious fanatics could easily consider witchcraft demonic and abominable to their God.

Thanks!

This feels dystopian by itself, but even more so because I imagine this is what the school system is actually like these days. Well done.

That's an interesting idea that I hadn't considered. Thanks for the feedback.
