When can I kill my character? When is it acceptable to kill a character? (and if possible, when is it most appropriate?) BTW, I'm not talking just about a protagonist; I'm talking about any of my characters, whether they're MCs or extras is irrelevant. (more) |

What makes for a successful resurrection? If you've seen Avengers: Infinity War, you'll recall the line "No resurrections this time" being said in the scene just after the first (arguably second) on-screen death of a main character at the hands (literally) of the antagonist. My question revolves around the theme of resurrections. Many succ... (more) |

Should I focus on ideas which the market enjoys, or ideas which I enjoy? Two approaches to writing: 1. Writing about ideas that are currently 'hot' in the market (a bit like when the Hunger Games came out, many authors quickly released books which incorporated the same set of ideas) 2. Writing about ideas that you would enjoy (and have enjoyed) reading about. I don't h... (more) |

How unadvisable is it to flip the protagonist into a villain? Essentially, I have a protagonist who I set up as a 'main' good guy in one of my series. However, in my final series, I intend to make him turn to the dark side and oppose my other protagonists (from my other series). My question: Should I avoid turning my protagonist into an antagonist? Are there ... (more) |

How many people who participate here on Writing SE have become successful authors? I'm not asking for an exact figure, but I just want a rough idea of how well the people here have done. (I know the definition of successful varies, so I'm just going to use successful as a term for someone who's written something which has sold at least a thousand copies). (more) |

How to avoid pages of dialogue? I'm starting my story with my protagonist found (by the police), bleeding at a crime scene. When he wakes up, he has no recollection i.e. he's lost his memory. He's interrogated by two Inspectors, but as he doesn't remember anything, it's mostly a one-sided conversation with the Inspectors essentiall... (more) |

Does my protagonist *have* to succeed? I'm thinking about a YA dystopian novel and have planned it quite thoroughly. However, when I look back, the antagonists tend to always be a few steps ahead of my protagonist, and my protagonist is always just too late to stop the antagonist. This happens multiple times during my novel, and even at t... (more) |

A: Realistic way to ensure letter is posted in 10+ years time If your character is influential (and I know this is a bit overkill), they could form something akin to a brotherhood whose sole purpose is to get this letter delivered (think Dan Brown's Priory of Sion who were dedicated to keeping Saunieres secret).

Set multiple Trilogies in the same timeline? I'm in the writing stage of my first book, which is to be the first of three books which are all part of, let's say, Trilogy A. I'm planning on writing two more Trilogies (B and C) which all start and end at the same time as Trilogy A. My Question: Are there any tips for setting multiple Trilogies ... (more) |
