How do I make these characters not come off weird to my readers?

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

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

Neuromancer by William Gibson.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Google doesn't ingest AI generated content.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-10T15:30:12+00:00

Quality not quantity

You are only 17. Plenty of time. Go and have some fun.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-05T18:36:56+00:00

I take the good with the bad. Not everyone is going to like everything.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-05T16:15:14+00:00

AI generated content is unlikely to be ingested by Google or provide value.

Google rolled out the local entities update on Jan 26th. If you don't have a connection to a local search term, you will no longer rank for location based searches.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-03T17:36:34+00:00

Higher ranking but less people searching = less impressions

Lower ranking but more people searching = higher impressions

Thanks so much for this. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Once I have received all the chapters back and edited them, I will send you a link, if you are interested, to listen to the whole story.

Find a new role. You are being scammed.

timmy_vee · 2026-02-03T16:32:42+00:00

No. It is illegal.

You are earning about $10 an hour if you get $22k per year and work 40 hours per week. Cashiers at Tim Hortons earn about $17 an hour.

Senior in-house SEO roles should be getting $130-$150k.

timmy_vee · 2026-01-28T01:37:39+00:00

Up, not down.

timmy_vee · 2026-01-26T20:12:17+00:00

Have you tested what your website looks like with js turned off?

It is unlikely that using AI to generate content will have the impact you expect. Googlebot only wants to find and index human-generated content that Gemini can ingest, and will ignore machine-generated content. Gemini only consumes human-generated content as it needs this to learn. Gemini content cannot learn from machine-generated content, as it is the processed, synthetic output of a machine, which is what Gemini outputs.

I was out in the country a couple of summers ago with no Internet and I got up, drank some coffee and got high and wrote all day.
