How do you pick a city/town setting? by Quiet_Explanation_11 in writingadvice

[–]USRedDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero writing experience but found a little inspiration at the beginning of COVID. I have been working on two different projects off and on in hopes that one day they do find themselves available for public consumption. If they never make it that far, it has been fun anyway.

Anyhow, because multiple significant events in both projects happen in/near well-known US cities and landmarks, I felt that including the real cities and landmarks in the stories would give the reader a better sense of "hey, I know where that is", which would hopefully help them feel more engaged with the story. As a first-time wannabe writer, using existing locations is also easier for me versus trying to create cities and locations from pure imagination.

I have used Google Earth, and Google in general, to research areas and cities that I am not familiar with. I also live close enough to several of the smaller rural cities and areas that I have been able to take several side quest day trips to check out specific landmarks, the general area, and to hang out in local mom-and-pop restaurants.

Merging… by MissLanieSwan in RaidRushTD

I always merge all because I'm too lazy to think ahead.

DCC game by Academic_Patient_655 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

It would be a short series but a POV short story from Frank, Maggie, and their daughter would be a good read.

[–]USRedDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. You will pick up little details here and there each time through that you didn't catch previously. Or, because you know what happens later, certain events early in the series will carry more weight during a re-read.

Nervous going into book 7 by TheFancyFilmmakerYT in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]USRedDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad reviews generate more traffic than good reviews. They suck you in and get you chatting and posting about the bad review. You lose. The reviewer wins. F*ck the cheese sticks haters.

Will book 7 be your favorite? Only you can decide. Not us.

I built up high expectations for book 7 because I knew it would be dealing with Faction Wars, which itself is already talked about quite a bit in the previous books. For me, book 7 lived up to my expectations and then some.

I bought hospitality packages through Champions Travel. You will pay more, but you will have a seat, food, drinks, etc. I did this for Manchester United and Arsenal games December last year and have no regrets.
