I wrote a short story here http://zecountess.deviantart.com/art/Mirrors-440990952 uno online whose ending explains everything that is narrated before. The feedback I got from my readers is var...

Follow the guidelines laid down in the company's or publisher's style manual. Choose between the more folksy "you'll" and the more official (but not phrazle stuffy) "you will" if they don't, or if ...
The main problem I see is that you are taking too long to finish your story. Most writers are unhappy with most of their older works because most writers develop. What you need to do is pick up th...
As a reader, it doesn't add much, if anything. Note that all the same meaning is still conveyed in your examples when "after all" is removed. It's one of those content-free words or phrases peopl...
The order in which the reader sees it is not necessarily the order in which the author wrote it. You can use this to get past rewrite loops or other blockers. When writing (both fiction and non-f...
A response to something you didn't ask: you're obviously very inspired and you will probably get a lot out of continuing to produce text while you're still full of ideas! Most people are not full o...
A little context for my question... A long time a go, I started writing little vignettes for a character I was playing in an RPG group. The vignettes ended up joining up and becoming sort of a ba...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
A lot of the advice here suggests that for day to day stuff, you use a social platform. I'm not sure that I agree. There's a lot of good in owning your own blog, even if it is for mundane life upda...

EPub 3 has some interesting additions to the format, but most readers don't handle it yet (especially e-ink). And some glaring issues remain. For example, ePub really needs a way to mark an image ...
It's like asking what type of book is best to write. Totally depends on your intent in writing it, and whom you expect your audience might be.
See this as theme or prompt or style or writing restriction or all or none. No real rules - write what you will. As much or as little as you wish. No incorrect answers. Whatever you find. Sent...
Question 1 Here I am asking about merely reading and writing. Do human readers take longer to distinguish between stems (and bases) that share the same root, even if merely picoseconds? For exa...
I've been working as a content writer and blogger for a few local agencies. I want to start freelancing this year but am slightly afraid to start. Could anyone help me how to start freelancing as a...
