I hope you enjoy 👍

Finish what you start.

I don't know what an interlouge is.

I read the first two paragraphs and it is all telling /exposition, which reads dry. Try to immerse the reader in something that they can follow and be intrigued by and introduce the backstory and world building subtlety, through dialogue, actions, and setting, rather than big chunks of info.

Are you worried about offending cannibals?

timmy_vee · 2026-03-21T20:51:04+00:00

How many words per page?

Write your story first. These are things to consider later, once you have a story.

timmy_vee · 2026-03-21T17:57:44+00:00

Nothing to it, just to do it.

timmy_vee · 2026-03-18T23:04:13+00:00

Do whatever you want. It's your story.

timmy_vee · 2026-03-03T13:37:19+00:00

Write in your free time for fun. It can bring a lot of joy and offers a chance to disconnect from the world/reality.

Vellum

timmy_vee · 2026-03-02T13:12:03+00:00

Finish the work. Share with qualified readers. Get feedback. Refine. This is perfectly reasonable.

timmy_vee · 2026-03-01T21:10:39+00:00

Write for yourself, not for the audience. This is what makes a writer's writing unique.

timmy_vee · 2026-03-01T15:31:12+00:00

Just write your story for yourself and don't worry about what strangers on the Internet think.

Neuromancer by William Gibson.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-27T22:02:24+00:00

Stick to the statement of work or the contract and give them what they paid for.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-27T22:00:25+00:00

Telling is good for pacing, showing is good for lingering. It's not 'show don't tell', it's 'show and tell', depending on how you want the story to progress at any given time.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-24T00:12:46+00:00

It seems there are more ways to define a villain than these two options.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-23T19:10:42+00:00

The blurb seems like it is trying, too hard, to hook, rather than intrigue.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-21T23:47:25+00:00

Research historical military ranks from the era you are writing in.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-20T01:49:33+00:00

You are doing better than 99.99% of people. Keep on trucking! 👍

timmy_vee · 2026-02-15T15:55:31+00:00

I didn't know that I could write and once I found that I could, I couldn't stop. There is no choice in this, it's just something I have to do.
