I have no expert knowledge in this field, but I have a theory. This may be caused by 'your' personal experiences and how the context/content/atmosphere/vibe/word choice might remind you of certai...

I personally wouldn't find it unrealistic that people in any country today mocked somebody for the way their name sounds in English. I'd say keep it. I'm aware that not all countries have a capac...

I would have a document like the one @Galastel suggests, which makes good sense for 'characterizing your characters', but I also keep a 'mindmap' with a visual representation of how all my characte...

Always try, at least for yourself, to give motivations to any character for behaving a certain way. Why is A the way he is? Should the reader know this? Here are some ideas for making a change,...

I am not experienced with 'Dramatic Monolouges', but this question is similar to many others where the writer doesn't want to give "an obvious answer/fact" to the reader. @Rasadashan gives some g...

If rewording is indeed what's needed, then @NofP gives a good answer. However, what I take from your question, and the request from the teacher, is that maybe it's about the way you tell the read...

Although these are useful suggestions and answers, I believe @MarkBaker's answer is key. I'm 26 with 3 younger siblings (very much in touch with my childish side) and I believe that there are 4 imp...

To begin with; This is an expansion of @DPT's answer to this question. A dialogue between two fleshed-out (or quickly sketched-out) characters can possibly develop into something "bigger" by havi...

I'm writing a sci-fi novel with more than one main character. Since I'm not an experienced writer, I still struggle with some basic "rules" within writing that may or may not exist. This issue ...

This is about the hints that the readers should notice as the story progresses - and should definitely notice upon re-read. First off, I looked around for a bit and didn't see any questions on th...
