Question	—	Plotting My Story~ I have no idea what to write for this certain chapter in my book, and I don't know how to plot it out. I have a general idea that the character somehow betrays another, resulting in him being kicked out of the house, but I don't have any way for him to betray his friend. What steps do I need to tak...

Question	—	Making a blog for my book? Is it possible to get better critiques on a blog than showing my story to family members in real life? I have a blog where I post the progress of my story without posting the actual thing, would it be beneficial to just post the chapter being worked on each post or to keep doing what I'm doing?

Question	—	Gathering information online? How do I get correct information when looking something up for reference? I would go to google, yes, but how to get proper intel. I have this system where I get some general Idea for a "thing" and write about how much I already know about it. Then I try and research the details. But how do I get in...

Answer	—	A: System for Coming up With a Good Title I would make the title close to the plot. My story is called "Secrets" because it is full of the characters having held secrets from each other. They all don't want to reveal something to the other or something. So you see, it doesn't need to be complex at all. ` (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Question	—	Is it okay to have made up words/slang in a story? In my story there are some words in there that even Grammarly couldn't understand, but they make sense in the story. They're slang, or things teenagers might say. Here is an example of what I am talking about: > Hank was wearing his sweatpants and a flimsy t-shirt, Haku wore his white gym shorts an...

Question	—	Getting out of writers' block? How do I cure this? It's driving me crazy. I keep thinking of ideas to write but I either am too lazy to put it to paper or forget it and then randomly remember a few days later. I'M TOO YOUNG FOR THIS!!! It's not really a block, just a lack of inspiration. How do I get inspired to write when I do ... (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Question	—	When to stop the story line? Okay everybody. When is the proper time to stop the actual story and move on to a different part of the "world"? I need to know about what is going to be the proper way to end this story and move on to "pert two". This is a really long story line and I'm thinking of all of this stuff to go in the st...

Answer	—	A: Where do I write 'The End'? The end of the main story. This is where all of the other authors put theirs, even if they have an epilogue. (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Question	—	Is it too late to change a character in the story? I have this chimera-type character whose name is Ryu, but at this point I think it best to change his name. But I've already grown used to his name, and I've written it all over my book pages. Is it too late to completely change his name? (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Question	—	What is considered "childish" in fictional writing? There are some people who have read some of my book so far and they think it is childish and then some say it's somewhat morbid. What are your views on what each of those terms means? (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Question	—	Is it too cliche to have the villan of my story from a different planet? I need to know because all of the anime that I watch have at least one character or more from another planet, and they're not usually friendly. I don't want to come off as one of those who "follow the crowd" but I don't really have any other ideas. (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Question	—	Should I add more detail to my story, or just leave it vague and add it all in later? I am having a hard time with adding detail, I feel it may leave a good chunk of the story out, but I don't know for sure if I should really add it or not. If I do end up with too much detail, my readers can get easily bored and not want to read anymore of my story. (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
