Personally I really hate names with lots of apostrophe's in them it looks amateurish to me and like someone is trying to hard to be unique. Firstly, think where your city is and what language they speak there. I personally use Google map and zoom into towns and villages in Europe and list names...

Since I'm new to writing I decided not to set my bat to high. I felt it was better to write a simple book and write is well than write a major epic that would be too much for me. So I created a new world like earth but untouched. Two races humans and another race come to this planet after there...

Just my opinion but I don't think how fast a girl can run or how many guys she can beat up makes her strong. I don't think giving a girl an attitude makes her strong. My sister is like a mouse. She's so meek, and gentle and timid, she wouldn't say boo to a goose yet she has endured so much crap...

Forgot to add but it's really hard naming characters as well. They wouldn't use any names associated with this earth because they know nothing about this earth.

I had this realization a while ago. I'm writing in English both text and dialogue. But my characters would be speaking in their native language, which I can't write in through dialogue because no one would understand it. So how do I let my readers know they are speaking in another language? how...

I have a race in my book that speaks a different language from the others. They don’t meet any other races in the book so how do I show they are not speaking English? My main character isn’t going to say anything like ‘they spoke in an unknown language’ because she knows the language...

I would advice you to write at much as you can. Write a journal. Create a character and write blogs, diary enters in that character. Practice on voice and creating a stand-out one for yourself. Voice is really important in writing. Read well, not just in the genre you want to write.

I think the most interesting thing about magical powers it what the magic can't do. It's limitations, it's flaws and above all the price the castor must pay for the spells they use. Magic systems seem to be very popular at the moment so you need to create a very unique one. I know you're in the...

I don't know of there is a good or bad trope in any Genre because I think if they're done well all can be quite good and useful and of cause cliche are cliche because they work. I get a bit bored of the one prophecy but again that's because of the writer not because of the trope itself.

Well, for me it's simply that I haven't pursued it because I'm fairly new to the craft. I've always wanted to try creative writing, even if just for fun but life kind of got in the way. I was a carer for my Dad and he died 2 months ago and i've been a bit lost ever since having to learn how to...

I'm Seria and I'm new to writing. But looking forward to learning from the people on here and helping others with their work x
