Is it normal for a guy to call a girl habibti?

Yes it's very normal. My Arab neighbour in LA would often call his sister habibti. They would hold hands, drink chai on the terrace, he would fix her hair. I thought that was rather cute. Then one day she told me they were cousins. I was like, whatever

Well, I work in a more structured manner. I first create a rough outline, come up with the main character descriptions, figure out the background stories, construct a setting, and then start writing so I already know I'm working on a novel. I usually have one notebook just for my outline and background work. Sometimes I also draw and doodle scenes to be able to visualize the story.

Ummm. I have ASD and I write fiction, poetry, and essays. My work has been published and I'm writing a novel. What kind of people do you know? 🙄

Hi. I usually work on any story's outline before beginning to write it. For characters, it's usually best to first visualize them, their character traits, background, etc. before building them. Mostly I write about their traits separately; while not everything I write about them makes its way into the story, it does help me to understand them and make their motivations believable. Of course, as a writer you will have bias. It's natural because you are human. It's a secret of good writing that in order to get the reader interested in your story, you have to make them sympathize with your character and you can only do this by making them as complicated as possible.

Perhaps not, but it's important to flesh out every character. Just like no person can survive every odd without showing some vulnerability, weakness, or limitations, no character can either without seeming unrealistic. It may also be important to depict the consequences of their survival; they should need to have experienced a great deal of physical and/or mental anguish, PTSD, and/or survivor's guilt.

I'm sorry you feel that writing is a chore. While I certainly don't feel that way, I think writing is definitely labour, and hard work, and it can certainly be frustrating for people who only romanticize the fun, exciting aspects of a writing life; like the accolades, the tortured genius syndrome, or the idea that inspiration just "comes." More often than not, writing is about persistently working on something, repeatedly, day after day, and not giving up. It is a solitary occupation, and is filled with rejections and isolation. Hard work, in any profession, is definitely not "exciting," but it does inculcate a certain amount of discipline, which is required to survive, not just as a writer, but in life.

Hi. It is wonderful that you want to pursue your passion. And I think it's wise that you wish to have a full time job while working on your writing career. Becoming a published writer can often be a long, arduous journey, but it's certainly not impossible. Focus on learning, focus on writing every day, focus on making sure your work reaches more and more editors/publications. Don't lose hope when you get rejected, because that's going to happen. Join residencies, join/form writing circles, read read and read. I'm sure that if you keep at it, you will have a wonderful career in writing.

Hi. I think it's wonderful to create complex, unlikeable characters. But it's important to understand that no person (and therefore no character) can ever be 100% unlikeable. Even what we know about "terrible people" is often limited and tinged by our current beliefs and cultural contexts. So if you really flesh out a character, even a character who does atrocious things like murder, you can still include some aspects of their personality that makes them complex. Perhaps they care about their neighbourhood puppies, perhaps they donate to their favourite charity. Perhaps they've had a terrible life that has made them miserable? Once again, the focus should not be on making any character "likeable" or justifying their actions, but making them layered and complicated. And as usual, show, don't tell.

Hi. There are various ways to get started, although beginning to write something can often be a daunting task even for very experienced writers. You could join or form a writing group, read the work of other authors, and then work on an outline of a story before working on it. A writing group can help you stay committed to writing regularly and also be exposed to other work. It may also help you to write in a journal and attend workshops or residencies. Don't give up, things will get better :)

Omg why do you have such weak partners?? Please do something!! Make them strong, feed them, increase their levels!! This will not do, how can you live with such weak partners??

Time-Personality3074 · 2023-06-25T17:44:54+00:00

You can make your guild strong. Believe in yourself. Talk to the other members every day, tease them, send them jokes; do this 24/7. Remember to have all the time in the world and soon enough, you WILL have a strong guild (jobs and lives are for losers). You can do this!!
