What hooks one person in a first page won't necessarily hook the next. But it must hook someone or else they probably won't keep reading.

I’m glad you decided to not use “sith”, because there’s being right, and there’s having enough money to win in court or bleed your opponents dry even...

I looked at these. The Dasung is the better idea but a total dog according to the reviews. The trouble with the Max is you're paying for another...

Took me several tries to get "into" the Hobbit. i had a hard time keeping up with all the descriptions. i think i ended up reading the LOTR series...

Practice. Here's some help.

Dismissing an entire genre with "most of the writing in the genre is bad" is a gross violation of respecting your fellow writer. It's pretty clear...

I'm too cussed to let a computer boss me around but I agree time limiting apps might work for some. Good old pen and paper is the ultimate...

With respect, you can say "all the examples I've found in the genre have been, in my opinion, poorly written." When you slag off a whole genre - on a...

I am getting the feeling that there isn't anything I can say that will be a sufficient apology for everyone. That said, I am new and I understand I...

f*cken legend!

Yeah I said I would probably change it. It wouldn't be hard to do if i gave it a little thought. I am stubborn and I like to argue.

This seems a bit odd to me as well. But I think the rule does what it's supposed to - make you think about using it more precisely. one of my...

Watched the Never Play Defense video the other day, and I just feel like I watched the boxing happen in real time. Dude on twitter said to another...

This is so interesting. I read a Weike Wang story a couple of weeks ago (I commented on it upthread) in which the main characters were unnamed. I...

You're missing the point. No one cares that your opinion differs; if we all agreed on everything, AW would be bland and boring. Everyone is...

RYFW > opinion Your opinion is yours. Keep it! Feed it! Play with it! Whatever! BUT. That's the AW formula, right up there. It’s what we agree...

Again, I apologize for my opinion. For future reference, I will keep any negative opinion I have about any genre to myself.

I think folks are just trying to point out that words carry meaning and that what you wrote was offensive to an entire genre of writers. RYFW is the...

However you envision your MC's scenario, it won't end well for her. If she survives--and that's not guarunteed these days--she will be incarcerated...

Meh, just call me ocd. I hate those little inconsistencies that throw off a fictional world. Nothing to do with characters or decent plot but I can't...

Again, I apologize for my opinion and appreciate anyone who is helping me. I just hope that this isn't one of those places where someone gets...

This isn't about changing your mind, IMO. You're welcome to your opinions. It's about respecting your fellow writers in general and not making...

Wow. Just....wow. Followed up by....wow. I think we can safely say that pretty much everyone who reads the genre, and pretty much everyone...
