Glad it was helpful!. Wait till a character loves music you hate😝

That’s awesome. My favorite world started as an rpg setting, and I’ve written stories that started as scenes it situation that came up in games. For villains, just remember: everyone is the hero of their own story, so if your villain thinks they’re in the right (no matter how twisted their logic) readers and players will believe their motives.

Glad you liked it. Fiction can feel futile, but it’s worth it if you’re enjoying it.

Glad you got something out of it. Good question on flashbacks. If I’m showing the scene, I’ll usually establish that it is in the past, but tell it in present tense from the perspective of whoever is there. But if a character is telling another character a story I’ll use past tense since it is the past from their point of view.

👍💥 Yeah! That's what I did! Well? A guy's girlfriend said something to this guy about a vampire. But he didn't fully understand it at the time. (What's that mean?) After having a similar vampire life changing experience, showing character growth. The character has a similar experience. After, sitting in a diner having breakfast and coffee, waking up, he has a daydream. The recollection is played in his head in present tense. Of his girlfriends unrelatable experience/ conversation. Having an ephany/revelation, he adds things up, going forward in character development. Oh? That's what you mean! Now, I can relate to your experience having experienced it going through it myself. Where as before, he was oblivious to his girlfriends hardship. Thank You. Basically he had to go through the problem in order to relate and grow as a character. Through a daydreams, deductions he evaluates his girlfriend's experience comparing it to his own moving character development and the story forward. Thank You! Edge! 👍💥

That’s an awesome idea. I’ve never tried it, but I’m going to!
