Answer A: Is muteness appearing without explicit reason acceptable?
I've seen so many books and movies with similar reasons for people to lose their ability to speak that, in a mere reader point of view, I would have no reason at all to doubt that it could happen. I don't think many readers would doubt it could happen also. But I think if you really want to know for...

Answer A: At what point can a story be considered "erotic"?
I guess there's no answer at all to your question, unless you are writing an erotic story. If you are writing an erotic book, by definition, it's erotic since you will do it that way. Some countries/cultures have a much easier concept on what's erotic and what is not. Maybe in USA, your book would b...

Question First person pov with more than one main chars
I really love -- and most of time write in -- first person point of view. The novel I'm writing is somewhat different from what I'm used to. I have four main characters -- I don't see any of them as more important than the others -- each one of them with his own separate plot (even being related som...

Answer A: How to tell if a fiction workshopping site protects my rights?
I used to play an online mmorpg game named Popmundo and to be a regular columnist for their game magazine: It's Pop.

Answer A: What's the significance of ancient mythology in literature?
Maybe you are seeing it from the wrong point of view. More than mythology, movies like Matrix and Prometheus deal with our current social values and believes. Neo, the technological messiah, is ready to die to save humanity but under a very actual agnostic - almost atheistic - point of view since he...

Answer A: Time measures in fantasy worlds
Once a physics professor told me that we, in daily life, measure distance with time. In fact he is right. If somebody aks - "how far away is the mall?", we answer "It's fifteen minutes away". That means that measures are always relative to normal everyday standards, not scientific ones. In old days,...

Answer A: How to convert handwriting into text
The best solution would be OCR Software ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical\character\recognition ) since you can scan your pages and it will understand the handwrite and change them to plain text. Expect a few errors. It's normal, but most of the text will be fine. A simple review should be enou...

Answer A: What do you do if you enjoy writing, but have no ideas?
Assuming you want to write non technical stuff, I think the best way is to start writing. I'm not kidding, even without ideas, doing nothing is a GREAT way to never get an idea. Inertia is true to human mind and if you don't start, you will stay exactly in the way you are. The point is: how to start...

Question How to format dialogue with an embedded long monologue
I use the following formats for dialogues: - dialogue - dialogue - describing action (if any) - dialogue - describing action (if any) - more dialogue (if any) There is a chapter in my book that is mainly a conversation. During that chapter, after - let's say - the 10 first paragraphs, it starts ...
