Your question is a bit all over the map but, ultimately, it's about tone. Your silly example would be fine for a first person narrator who loves puns and can never be completely serious. If it's ...
The specific details you choose don't matter as much as how you wield them. You want to start out with details that are incredibly subtle. These are less to clue your readers in and more to reward ...
Something is very off about this being, and everyone knows it. Except it's not. When someone is very off, people steer clear. The creepy guy who hangs out in front of the supermarket makes h...
It's not easy, but the core answer is: You need to learn the market. Being from outside the U.S., or not having an existing platform, might be issues, but they shouldn't be dealbreakers -- lots of...
To look at this from a more general writing perspective it enables the author to convey the "strangeness" of their world without compromising the readers ability to understand what they are conveyi...
I think you see this all the time in "Previously on XYZ" segments of shows that have long plotlines (i.e. episodes are not self-contained). The only thing they recap is what you need to know for T...
Either can work really well! The thing to pay attention to is that each option builds a different sequence and experience for the reader -- so you want to consider which of the two choices works be...
How can you be sure your employer is telling the truth when she says there's no money for bonuses this year? Or your local farmer's market farmer who says the early rain messed with the harvest an...
I'd use the phonetic spelling, unless you're planning to publish in a country where both Arabic and English are commonplace. The reason is that it's easier for someone used to the latin alphabeth...
As you are mainly writing in English your target audience is probably from English speaking countries without a lot of knowledge about Arabic. It's not a common language to learn when compared to s...
Here's the thing about race: different people have very different ideas about what race means, and how race affects individual's lives. Some people's ideas of race is inextricably tied with their ...
You might be shooting yourself in the foot. This likely depends on high personal productivity of the author, and if you cannot sustain the pace, I think you will lose whatever audience you gather....
Search for localization tools I haven't personally used Visio in any formal capacity but have done translation/localization when developing web apps and other software. Most professional tools hav...
You said in a comment that this is for an existing, old show, presumably one with a fanbase. While your listeners have presumably seen it (they're listening to your podcast about it, after all), t...
Just be aware that almost everything is trope/stereotype of some sort: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlwaysFemale One of the best ways to mitigate that is to make sure there are MAN...
Embrace the opposite of the trope. Is there some reason Supergirl cannot love talking fashion, and own ten pairs of shoes? Is there some reason a brilliant chemist must also be mousy and with...
It's fine to shorten but only when the reader can fill in the blank. So far, you have: Managing a lot of people is a very difficult problem to Lot of people, difficult problem In this exam...
Management Difficulties Scale with Headcount Titles follow the same rule as billboard advertisements: no more than 7 words; no matter what their size. Scientifically speaking, billboard comprehens...
What's in your MC's past, and what's driving him now? Your MC is a professional assassin - a skilled murderer. Where did he learn his skills? How did he come to be in a position where people pay h...
Yes, you can use a third person narrator in this way. In fact, this approach can be used somewhat liberally, to describe a thought process that may be difficult to form into distinct mental senten...
Do any of them have a confessor? The most literal interpretation of this is that they're Catholic and confessing to an actual Priest who is sworn to secrecy. I don't know what real life Catholics...
Lack of proofreading has been the bane of writing in many locations over the last few years. Do you remember back when newspapers came to your house and you paid to subscribe? Okay, maybe you don...
One at a time. It isn't laziness. That's just a word people throw out when work doesn't get done and in many cases, including yours, it's meaningless. You've done a lot of work, you're just not ...
The other answers have given you great suggestions about understanding motivation and getting to work. You now need a calendar. Decide on your blog post frequency, as you have done, and plan your ...
According to APA 6th Edition Citation Style, When a work’s author is designated as “Anonymous,” cite in text the word Anonymous followed by a comma and the date: (Anonymous, 2010) If, instead...
