My Sister insisted on loaning me Pokemon Violet. I'm doing an all Grass-Type run!

I don't know how to further explain my point without directly addressing this, and I really don't want to get into a debate about real world religious beliefs. So I'm just going to drop this and leave it alone. Again, apologies if I annoyed you.

Yes. And I explained why I don't think that question is relevant to the discussion. I realise that my previous comment could have come off as rude, for which I apologise. What I meant by this was that when you ask "what if it is made of stuff that cannot be studied" I genuinely do not know...

Okay... I am not certain what you mean by "it can't be studied". Why wouldn't it be able to studied? You can't put electricity, schizophrenia or a star in a slide, but we can study them. Putting something in a slide and looking at it under a microscope is not the only way to study it? Before we...

I hear what you're saying, but I think we would view things differently if we lived in the world of, say, Tolkien. Gandalf can use magic. Some would say he's rather good at it. This, to me, implies that he has some level of understanding of the rules that govern magic. Which means that there...

This is a question that I have been considering for a while. In a world where science exists alongside what we would call magic, is there any meaningful distinction between the two? If magic existed, scientists would be trying to pin down how it worked. Would "magic" be considered just another...

"Ice Cream?" "None left..."

Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare. Long writing sessions are all well and good, assuming that you are in a position and frame of mind where they are practical for you, but if you're not, then all they will end up doing is burning you out, especially if you happen to be...

So are you referring to preestablishing the stakes and character motivations and the like?

Thanks for the example!

Interesting suggestion... I'll give it a look

Sounds great! Any particular work?

I want one of my scenes, a tet-a-tet between two characters, in which there is a huge power imbalance (one of them is a literal god), to feel as tense as possible. There should be a constant threat, a feeling that at any moment the conversation could turn sideways and the God could obliterate...

That's really helpful! Thank you!

Thanks for the advice and words of encouragement, Jennifer 😊 Any suggestions on how to use descriptive language in this context? I don't know if someone would just describe the room they're in. Also, any recommendations on where to obtain music and sound effects? I think you are right, when I...
