    It's even worse when you consider text styles and horizontal rules. SO MUCH WORSE!

    While this is correct from the game's story's standpoint, consider the roles of "protagonist" and "antagonist" swapped. From the perspective of the Amp Plains tribes, any trespasser is the real "bad guy." While they did jump to conclusions, they're not necessarily bad people. They just...

    This is something that you don't have to decide on right away. Originally, Hesh in my story was a minor character in previous drafts, serving more as comic relief. But his role expanded in the new iteration of the story, taking the spot of deuteragonist. It's not entirely unprecendented since I...

In other words, Bonebeard would still have an important role to the story, despite his smaller screen...

    The Write Great Fiction series (5 books in total) helped me a lot. Much of the advice in those books stuck with me and forced me to look at stories from a different perspective. How to build an engaging plot, how to build character arcs, how to write vivid prose, etc.

    Isn't that the one where Ash is some kind of dark anime action hero and he uses Pikachu as a shapeshifting sword? I never finished it, but I found it bizarre, lol

    Stray has all of my attention. Though there is a chance it may have spinoff stories to supplement it, I won't start on them until I complete the first part of the story (which can be between 20-30 chapters). That way, I can stay focused. And I'm currently working on chapter 11. Instead of...
