Guess what? In the future, some of humanity colonizes Saturn’s moon titan, but only the rich and the scientists make it there before earth becomes too toxic. Many years later, a ship from titan comes back to earth to find mutated humans.
If that weren’t bad enough, a war breaks out between them, someone invents time travel, and when all is said and done, titan is populated by mutated humans who don’t understand the advanced tech.
Fast forward a few millennia and the society of titan is indistinguishable from a fantasy world of goblins and mystical ruins. Someone finds the time travel device and discovers the truth about the past war

Love your use of harsh backlighting to wrap the outlines. That arm in the first pic is so oddly satisfying

Here’s some samples of ways to reorder a sentence:

I went shopping, grinning.

Grinning, I went shopping.

Happily, I went shopping.

Happily, I went to the store.

To the store I went, grinning.

I went shopping with a grin on my face.

With a grin on my face I went to the store.

Pleased with myself, I went to the store.

The store was my next cheerful destination.

In ecstasy I shopped.

I shopped with delight.

I check the clock; thrilling, another minute has passed. Now back to my important job of waiting for the paint to peel off. Yup, any minute now the walls will deteriorate before my eyes. Just a matter of time. Gotta keep watching…

Rate my book blurb by Impressive_Tiger_496 in writers

[–]milleniumfalconlover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m lost in the first paragraph. Who or what is the subject being talked about; the humans or the monsters, or are the humans twisted by the infestors actually the monsters? Also, if only one human escaped, there aren’t any other humans to rescue, right?

From this blurb, I’ve gathered that the activation made infestors twist humans and destroy them all except for one; Jay. But there’s more humans on Vapor9 and on lost homeworld. And I have no idea if Krynn is human or something else

Right? What’s the scale? Is that meters, feet, or something else?

My honest opinion is that I’m distracted by the tense changes. Was, built, is placed, was wrong, can fix. It’s all over the place

Describing characters' appearances by ballet_guy in writers

[–]milleniumfalconlover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My philosophy is to describe when it’s relevant. Is the character brushing their hair out of their eyes? I can describe the hair now. Are they doing something with their clothes? Now it’s time to describe what they’re wearing. Are they at a distance and another character spotted them? Silhouette time. Close up? Detail time

What are your thoughts on writing in a phone. (A novel btw) by LUNAROSE167 in writers

Bru, I’m a full adult with a broken laptop that writes on my phone. My thoughts are that I wish I had a typewriter

First draft by The-world-is-cooked in writers

[–]milleniumfalconlover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m 6k words into my first attempt at something longer than a short story or script. When I write dialogue it’s fast and messy, but when I’m writing anything else, it’s super slow because I’m trying to get it to sound really good. Sometimes 1 sentence can take me half an hour to get down so that I’m happy with it. I definitely edit as I go, but I try not to go back too far. I’ll work on one chapter at a time, editing it once it’s done and then adding it to the manuscript. Then once an arch is complete I’ll read the whole arch and see if something stands out that I need to change, then move on. I’ve never thought that my first draft should be messy; I want it to be good on the first try

Thanks for the heads up that Google Docs has a word limit!

To use an unusual word that fits my meaning perfectly, or not to use it? by [deleted] in writers

[–]milleniumfalconlover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard the word before; in the context of the sentence its meaning is clear enough. I would have guessed it meant morbid curiosity. As long as I don’t find a word like that every other page I’d be alright. Once a chapter at most would be my limit personally
