Question What are the things that only Stories can do?
I've once heard in a youtube channel that only games could do things such as: getting the player into a flux state (something like getting into a meditation while doing something) and when that happens, you have reflexes and movements that you did'nt even thought you have. Movies, on the other hand, ...

Question Why sometimes we read "automatically" ?
Sometimes when I'm reading, I get myself reading automaticaly. This happens in certain books more than in others. I'am reading but I'm not assimilating what is writen, and then I have to read it all over again. So why this happens? I'm not talking specifically about getting distracted , or some oth...

Question Using the Voice wisely
Of course, there aren't any rules in writing. But when something is used in exaggeration (or even Isn't used at all!) without prudence, it can ruins everything. A voice is like a guide to see the story and/or the world as he views it through his opinions, points of view and vocabulary, like feeling ...

Question Structure / arcs for multiple characters
The Hero's journey is very individualistic. I want to know how writers build the book's structure for multiple characters. Do they make one for each character of for a whole? If it is for a whole, how they do it?

Question What is an arena-driven story?
There is an answer here from FraEnrico which is the cause for my question: What is the difference between character-driven stories and plot-driven stories?. Here he explains a bit of what an "arena driven story" is, but I wanted to know more. What is an arena driven story? (As the structure of it is...

Question Alternative for the Hero's journey (since it is about Ego)
According to psychologist Carl Jung, there are divisions into one's mind. The "Self" (often described as "Higher-Self" or "Soul") is what hold all of those divisions together (or try to). It is what gives balance and stability of who you truly are or can be. The hero archetype is the personificati...

Question How to turn the world "alive"?
I'm writing a novel with a fictional world in it. I've already planned many events and the history of its nations, but I feel that there is missing something for it as I write the chapters. In my vision, the way we turn the world more active and alive is by making impact over the character's psychol...

Question How to make the reader feel like the protagonist is not a single character, but the group/squad?
Im writing a fictional dieselpunk story based on the WW2 era in a world of my own. The protagonists are two squads (one from the "Axis" and the other from the "Allies") with the characters within the squads. Those are Spec Ops squads. Some doubts have emerged when I finished some of the first 4 chap...

Answer A: How do I ensure what I am writing captures what I'm feeling as I write it?
Let me explain with a scene-building technique I've learned. A scene is composed by some elements. Three of them are: the atmosphere, the moldure and the action. Lets say I want to create a scene where the character opens the door of a room in a creppy and abandoned pirate ship, and I shall use thes...

Question What makes a personified force of nature?
You guys may have heard this term before. I often see critics talking about it in some Studio Ghibli's movies where the reviewers say that the antagonist is the force of nature itself. But I also see stories where people say that the force of nature is personified. It is said that Chigur from No Co...

Question Advantages of a realistic magic system
I always see good critics about Kingskiller Chronicles realistic magic system. But I cant stop wondering... "Why do people like it? Is it because its more human and more close to reality?" Stranger Things has some realism on Eleven too. When she uses her powers, she gets tired and has some limits ba...
