A: Software to organise world building? Evernote I personally have 2 (free) accounts on Evernote, that share almost all notes, meaning I can use them on all my devices. There are online and downloaded versions of the notes application for all devices to my knowledge, and you can create notes or "notebooks" (notebooks contain multiple not... (more) |

A: Awkward language translation 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 capacity of speaking English as if it were their second official language, but in Denmark, it's pretty much th... (more) |

A: What techniques authors use to keep track of their cast? 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 characters are connected to one another. I personally use 'Mindmeister.com' and have been quite satisfied with ... (more) |

A: Rapid change in character 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, such as the one you describe, 'realistic'. From what you write, it seems to me that A is a person in powe... (more) |

A: Hint to murder in a dramatic monologue? 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 good suggestions, and I aggree with them, but without the story these suggestions will probabbly be hard t...

Working with hints/clues - Show vs Tell vs Nothing -ish 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 this kind of issue, but please correct me if you know of one. I'm debating whether or not something fits ... (more) |

A: Is there a dialog tag for when someone is saying something in awe? I agree with @MarkBaker, that, in this case, there aren't many ways to express the line your character says. However, you could try to show something about the character that matches his/her behavior/reaction, if you wanna make it more obvious e.g.: > "Oooooo!" they said, standing for a moment with...

A: How to Paraphrase a narration which is written by a first person perspective 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 reader something, without simply telling them "I went there.". Perhaps the teacher believes that 'the reader... (more) |

A: Why sometimes we read "automatically" ? 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 certain events and memories. Once you're recalling an experience it's sometimes difficult to "stop remembering... (more) |

A: How to come up with original ideas for stories? 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 having them talk about something that you choose in advance - be it something (1) ordinary or something (2) ...

Writing differently when following different character POVs - mainly age difference. (3rd Person) 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 is regarding the way I describe the people around the main characters. The two main characters could be des... (more) |

A: How do I turn a premise into a story? This scenario seems to be character-based to me. You may not yet have developed your characters "fully", but that could come through actual writing and a bit of outlining. It seems that you have simply had an idea, but yet to create it. Have you tried turning your "odd scenarios" into actual writin... (more) |

A: How can I accurately represent young adult dialogue? 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 important sides to this issue. 1. The "dialogue is not realistic", which is nicely summed up by @Mark Bake... (more) |

How do I know who's my protagonist? EARLY in writing process (maybe complicated, maybe not) This is my first actual question, so I apologize in advance if I include something that is not suited for the forum, or if this is a duplicate of an existing west - though I DID try to find one that suits my case, without luck. Here's the situation: I'm writing a sci-fi story (only very little "fi"... (more) |
