How to survive editing I am currently trying to edit a one my most recent novel. Trying is the keyword. I asked a few people to read my book as beta readers, but all of them have been busy, so no progress on that front. I have a list of what I consider the major plot problems in my book, but I can't find the energy to fix... (more) |

A: Restarting a Novel I'm in a similar situation to you. I wrote the first 50,000 words of a novel during a NaNoWriMo (I can't remember which at the moment) and then finished it up during a Camp NaNoWriMo. If you are looking to finish an old story you started during a NaNoWriMo, I would highly recommend doing a Camp NaNoW... (more) |

A: Foregone conclusion of novel's first part If you are so sure the reader is going to be sure what happens, then you need to make the journey interesting. There are plenty of stories in which everyone knows what's going to happen and enjoys it anyways because the journey is interesting (superhero movies, romance, some mystery stories, etc.). ...

A: Where can I find resources about writing a litRPG book? Disclaimer: I don't know much about litRPG, but I may be able to help some. First, a quick internet search for "how to write litRPG books" brings up articles such as this and this. Of course, those are just random posts I found on the internet. They seem helpful and like they know what they are talk... (more) |

Writing a Super Intelligent AI Something I have been thinking about recently is how to write a character who is an artificial intelligence and not have him feel human. Specifically an AI who is designed to think faster and better than a human. In my current book, I have an AI who acts humans, but that is part of how he was made. I... (more) |

A: What are the advantages and disadvantages to leaving the narrator unnamed? This all depends on the approach you want to take with your narrator. Are you taking a more second person approach with the narrator being a member of the cast (but a side member), is the narrator describing the events without having direct relationship to himself, or is the narrator the protagonist?...

A: What is the difference between limited third-person narrative and free indirect discourse? EDIT: I redid the whole answer, because I misunderstood the question. After some research, I can report that the short answer is that free indirect discourse is a subset of third-person limited. In direct discourse, traditional third-person limited, thoughts from character are more obviously though... (more) |

How Do You Find a Literary Agent? What is the basic path to getting a literary agent? I understand that going to a writing conference helps you find one, but where can I find writing conferences? I did a search for them and could only find writing retreats. Also, is there a cost to go to a writing conference? If that doesn't work, wh... (more) |

Can I use characters from other books if it's obvious that they aren't my characters? I actually do not have any plans to use any characters from another book in any of my books (either as fan fiction, a joke, or a reference). Out of interest, though, would it be legal to pull in a character from another series into my book as a joke (there is definitely no way to do this seriously)? ... (more) |

A: Introduce new English dialect It seems like a lot of people are asking if something is 'okay' to do in writing, and there isn't an objective answer. In Cry, the Beloved Country, Alan Paton formats his book in an odd way that breaks convention. Yet, he still got published and Cry, the Beloved Country is still a great book. You're ... (more) |
