[spoiler-box]Real life can be quite a time sink, huh? :p I know how you feel. My own progress has been slower than I'd like, but as long as I make a little time here and there, eventually it gets...

[spoiler-box]Hey look, it's a new Yoshi's story! (No, I'm not talking about the game~) You should really write more often. What, you got better things to do with your life? :D Anyway, it's been a...

Wow, sounds like you put a decent amount of thought into it! But sometimes you risk overcrowding if you try to throw in too many characters, so maybe it was for the best that you never used her....

I had a dream last night that you released a new story chapter where you introduced a new character, a woman who's a crazy gun nut. The only detail I remember is that she's rather short, about five...

[spoiler-box]I don't think "PSO2: The Ride" would be an appropriate side story for me. :lol: It made more sense in yours, because your story is taking place in the future where the Darkers aren't a...

[spoiler-box]You mean Innoventions? That's a pretty neat one, though it showcases technology instead of places. And yes, the line for Star Tours is amazing! Can you imagine if they had a ride like...

[spoiler-box]I find it interesting/funny that you have their personalities fleshed out enough to know how each one would get along with Yadira, which means you clearly spent time thinking about them,...

[spoiler-box]I'm not sure why that's an April Fool's joke, since it seems like one of your usual slice-of-life adventures. :p This time you gave the spotlight to Aunt Rowa, someone we haven't seen...

Yeah, you're definitely right. How the story is presented depends on the author. There needs to be a certain level of trust between the reader and the author, since the author is basically hijacking...

That’s funny, because my first instinct was the exact opposite. :lol: I would think the second-person narrator has the biggest agenda, because a second-person story is the only one that assumes...

@Anduril: I just read a little bit of "Until Gwen" and the style is pretty interesting. I don't know if I've actually read a second-person story before. I see some pros and cons to it. One of the...

S-Second person...?! That's... that's just weird, man! Doesn't second person assume the reader is one of the characters in the story? That would be like we're going on an adventure with Yoshi and...

I don't know if anyone noticed, but I started doing a thing in my story where I write all the flashbacks in present tense while the normal story is written in past tense. Just supposed to be an...

The way you've been doing it is fine. You once told me you see your story like a TV series, and that's what it feels like. Although there's an overall story and character development, it feels more...

I'm never 100% satisfied with what I've written. I always feel like I could have improved it a bit more if I spent more time on it. But even though I'm a perfectionist in some ways, I allow myself...

@Zorafim: That makes sense. I think we as writers sometimes have a hard time spotting the flaws in our own works. It takes someone else to point out something obvious like that. While I do review my...

[spoiler-box]
What, specifically, don't you like about it? That type of phrase in general, or that specific phrasing? Are you saying the phrase "could be seen" sounds clunkier than simply saying...

I've also used Yoshi's method before. If I don't feel like writing the part I'm at, sometimes I'll skip to a more interesting scene and come back to the other one later. Usually by that point I've...

When I don't feel like writing, my favorite trick is to make writing the most desirable option. When my two options are A) work on my story, or B) do some chores, suddenly writing looks a lot more...

Man, I wish I could finish each chapter in a few days. I'd be cranking them out like crazy! xD They take me nearly two weeks each, start to finish. That includes adding music, character portraits,...

I find myself having a hard time writing less than 3K words per chapter. ^^; I have so many ideas I'm trying to cram in there, doing it in less than 3K feels like a real accomplishment to me. I...

@Zorafim: Thanks a lot. Now I'm hearing the name as "Yoshíblu" in my head. :lol:

@yoshiblue:
[spoiler-box]I figured it was something like that. Every time I saw your signature I would think, "Purple Dragons? Who are the Purple Dragons?" Then I would forget to ask you about it. ...

[spoiler-box]I liked the part at the beginning when Yoshi imagined what Shiomi was like. It was an interesting dynamic because we (the readers) already know the answer to that question, which makes...

[spoiler-box]They're squirrels, I tell you! Squirrels storing food for the winter. That's the only explanation.

This chapter made me hungry for eggs. My favorite type is scrambled. I love...
