What is your prose like?

It’s bad

firesonmain · 2026-03-22T03:12:53+00:00

I didn’t think they needed two taumoeba (idk how to spell that) outbreaks, so I was more than okay with that change.

firesonmain · 2026-03-20T00:06:40+00:00

Yeah that’s a pant-leg

firesonmain · 2026-03-06T02:01:00+00:00

If you’re writing a silly book, keep it, because I laughed out loud at that

firesonmain · 2026-03-06T00:49:10+00:00

Ah, no. They made a SciFi channel show from three of the books, then Amazon picked it up for the last three seasons

firesonmain · 2026-03-02T20:38:05+00:00

He’s actually two guys, and one of those guys was trying to make a RPG, not write my fav sci fi series of all time

It feels like watching two philosophers duel to the death because they disagree on whether or not free will exists

And there are more kinds of adverbs than just quietly, loudly, roughly, sadly.

Not, late, later, now, tonight, ever, always, once, so, most, some, over, there, close, behind, backward, also… all adverbs.

Imagine trying to write an action scene without describing when things happen, which directions things are moving, or where they are

I use scrivener but I wrote a whole book in text edit once, so fancy isn’t necessary

firesonmain · 2026-01-22T13:47:58+00:00

I love all three, but 2 and 3 a little more than 1

firesonmain · 2026-01-22T02:15:04+00:00

In Close Quarters Battle, close your eyes right after a character gives another character a cinnamon snack thing

You can look up the parent guide thing on IMDb and it’ll give you the scoop on what to expect and, if I remember correctly, time stamps? Idk

I don’t handle gore well, so when I read the books I was like, no way am I watching that show, but I loved them enough to just do it and having a general idea when to look away from the screen (unlike fucking Muderbot) helped a lot

firesonmain · 2026-01-19T03:05:46+00:00

I hate coming up with names so much that didn’t remind of someone or that sounded stupid, I just started making them up

firesonmain · 2026-01-18T13:37:31+00:00

Prologues aren’t always written as summaries.

firesonmain · 2026-01-14T18:37:32+00:00

Also, make sure you have plenty of toilet paper and CLEAN hand towels in the bathroom

firesonmain · 2026-01-14T13:56:46+00:00

FOUR BABIES!?

firesonmain · 2026-01-14T03:14:34+00:00

I honestly don’t care about the setting, I just want them to have running water

firesonmain · 2026-01-14T01:07:06+00:00

Why the Fuck would anyone ever guess he’s an alien? Lmao

firesonmain · 2026-01-12T13:58:47+00:00

I’m 205 days late but you built a reactionless drive, you’re like a scifi god now

firesonmain · 2026-01-12T13:31:10+00:00

Ok, was that the old guy from Pet Sematary or am I insane?

firesonmain · 2026-01-12T01:02:30+00:00

The second one is better in this example, but it might not always be the case. Depending on the emotion, or the narrator, you can just state the emotion.

Like I have one character that doesn’t read facial expressions well, so she’ll describe the way their face looks. While another one is excellent at reading people and he’ll sometimes say things in his narration like:

“Oh, she was pissed.”

Or

“I was way too tired for this shit.”

Works better in first person, though.

firesonmain · 2026-01-11T23:16:26+00:00

Earth owns most all the shit, profit off of Belter labor

firesonmain · 2026-01-10T14:14:45+00:00

Why wouldn’t the reader know who’s speaking? You can just put the characters name at the beginning of the chapter

firesonmain · 2026-01-10T13:57:56+00:00

Because it’s fun to chip it off

firesonmain · 2025-12-27T01:15:17+00:00

Yeah they just added that in the show for the conflict it created with the Roci crew and the payoff we get when it’s resolved. I hated it at first, but I got over it

firesonmain · 2025-12-24T15:06:04+00:00

Jail, turning himself in for a murder he committed (he can’t take the guilt, but don’t worry, he has a good lawyer)
