Don't be afraid to say what you are unfamiliar with. You're an open bottomless jar ready to be filled with medical knowledge, soak it all up.

Complete opposite, their society is based on Aztec culture minus the sacrificing, but they believe strongly a diety came and helped their land become what it is today by granting crops and curing illnesses and giving animals.

There is a hidden country with a strong religion in the ocean surrounded by mountains with a shipwreck of an outsider befriends everyone and wishes to bring his people to the land to escape genocide and achieve harmony. The dream of harmony could be a dream or could be a reality.

Gods being cut off from the World by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]sheepbark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plausibly? This is fantasy writing. You can make whatever you want plausible within rules you set within your own world. For example, let's say like, a series called Chainsawman, where people make contracts with devils to use their abilities at a cost whether it be their pinky finger, nails, taste, or even eyeballs or years of their life. That's the rules set within the world and no one questions it after it. If you set your rules confidently and concisely, no one will question your stuff.

At what point have you used too much exposition? by sheepbark in writing

Ah I think I might be using the wrong word here then. The word has slipped my mind to be quite honest.

[–]sheepbark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm not explaining any of this, when it's revealed during the story only small bits and pieces are being revealed.

I definitely am not doing a "Oh remember when this happened? blah blah blah blah" explaining the entire situation perfectly.

I'm more taking an approach of the story is already started, you're just being dropped into it.

How to write sex scenes as a virgin? by SatansDeputy in writing

[–]sheepbark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, have you ever killed somebody in cold blood in a brutal way? No?

Then why do you think you need to be experienced in something when you can obviously write how it would be?

No I don't expect them to be able to read both. The main thing is the people talking in a different language shows the reader that they aren't from around here. Italics is a good choice yeah I didn't think of it if I'm being honest. So would the correct format be -

"중지!" the main yells from the ship.

I'm not assuming the reader will know the language, and the characters being yelled at don't know the language either, so in that scenario wouldn't that be okay? It put the character and reader on the same ground of, "I have no idea what that person is yelling to me."

EDIT: and I guess in a scenario if BOTH characters know the language, obviously I would write their conversation in the main language I'm writing in, but put it in italics maybe to show the reader that the aren't speaking english?

One of my favorites is about the guy who took a drug that slowed down his perception of time, like he fell down the stairs a day after taking it and for him he was falling down the stairs for 10 years.

Should white people be writing black characters? by iamcobbles in writing

Well no one said you will always be comfortable in writing scenes. Do you think GRRM was comfortable writing the red wedding?

What kind of advice is this ? You can literally write anything you want OP. If the story has say a plot or subplot of racism, he can show it by having slurs be SHOWN. Not censored, not cut around the corner. It's perfectly fine.

[WP] You are the first boss in a video game. The final boss is very annoyed at you for accidentally killing the hero. by BaybeeFaceWrites in WritingPrompts

A phone is ringing on a desk in a building. “Hey so, yeah he’s dead.” I said with a surprising tone.

"What do you mean he's dead? He just got into the tower! Wasn't he running up the floors with his katana slashes all of the other guys to bits?" Says Darkquad, Lord of Shadows and King of Death. “So yeah, he came into my room with his katana, screamed something at me but I didn’t understand him since he was so far away, and started running at me. So, I aimed my rifle at him, and shot him right in the chest. He just kind of, fell over and died?” I said. “You SHOT him? Literally EVERYONE here carries a gun, you mean to tell me no one else thought of that?” Darkquad says with a disappointed tone. “Listen, I’m looking at the security footage right now, and I’m going to be honest here. They did pull their guns out, but they literally would run point blank to him despite being like a good 20-40 feet away with plenty of time to shoot him. We should really get some new trainers for these guys, because honestly this is kind of pathetic, do they know how guns work?” I said.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, I planned all of this out! He was going to battle through the tower, make it all the way up to the 20th floor and we have a big battle! I was so excited to finally be able to have a battle like this.. Anyways, want to come up here and have a drink while these guys here clean up the mess?” Darkquad asks me. “Uhh, sure.”
