Up until now, I've never really questioned my own usage of the apostrophe. At the age of about six, I was taught that James' is correct and have stuck to it ever since. But this morning, I received a review of my latest story and apparently apostrophes at the end of names ending with 's' should read James's or, to use my own character's surname as an example, Myers's. NAMES THAT MEAN "FAILURE"? I want one of my characters to have a name that relates to, in one way or another, failure or disappointment. Something quick and easy to read and say, and preferably feminine sounding. MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ON CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM That is the problem with social media in general, the instant consumption with no thought or substance required. Thankfully forums like this one are not populated as much by trolls and repeat abuserswill be banned.
GUN SHOT ONOMATOPOEIA Chuck Palahniuk uses tons of onomatopoeia, including gunshots, and he really talks them up in his new writing manual. I would definitely call Palahniuk novels "proper" books, so I don't know about them only belonging in comics. ANY WRITERS WITH AUTISM OR ASPBERGERS? I have DiGeorge syndrome, and I think at one point I was diagnosed (never confirmed) with minor Aspbergers. I feel like both of them impair my ability to 'process' things, I can multi task and interperate information just fine. DRUGS TO KNOCKOUT SOMEONE Very few drugs (if any) are going to have that long of a half life and that wide of a lethality range. In other words, if it lasted that long chances are the peak effect would be fatal and if it wasn't fatal it wouldn't last that long. ANYBODY KNOW WHY KINDLE BOOKS ARE SUDDENLY SO EXPENSIVE I buy lot of books on Kindle, and I've noticed over the past month or two that most Kindle books (the ones that aren't the old freebie-ish'classics') are

PROBLEMS WITH SETTING? 13 hours ago · Do you ever come up with a plot and characters. But cant decide where (or when) to place it? Long story short: a writer for a famous magazine meets a dishwasher writing lyrics for a band of geriatric musicians who meet up once a week in their nursing home'srec room to play.
TIPS FOR WRITING SHORT FILMS? Yes, my story does exactly that, start 'in media res', and deploys a hectic arrival home in order to fatigue the main character as much as possible, in order to make him pay no attention to the obvious facts that his wife's cheating on him.This sort of narrative, where characters are presented with obvious evidence of wrongdoing but are too dumb to notice it, is used by Mark Twain (Huckleberry MAKING LIST APP/SOFTWARE 13 hours ago · I make lots of lists when writing (for plotting, setting character traits/events, sourcing material, and more) to develop a story and keep track of progress while writing. WRITING WITH COLOR: WORDS FOR SKIN TONE Like TVTropes, Springhole, and Wikipedia, an author could spend hours following one link (Black Panther Fanfic Writing) to the next (Bad to have a Disabled Love Interest?) and the next (Baby Banks in an Infertile World, Eugenics and Racism) into the wee hours of the morning, only this one is tailored specifically to people who want their fiction to have as much positive impact as possible on IS THIS OKAY TO READ OR TOO REDUNDANT... Right then, an unknown entity whose figure masked the sapphire blue sky with its dreary aura, emitted by its irregular, decayed Cimmerian vesture that stretched infinitely among the cosmos with linings made from the purest of gold, concealing its mysterious appearance, with an ornament, crafted from the same gold that lined the cloak, big enough to cover its chest, emerged out of nowhere MY FRUSTRATIONS WITH REDDIT Reddit is a little better than say facebook or Twitter, but upvotes and downvotes are still heavily based on feels before reals. I think I posted this before, but when the first gov't stimuli were being distributed as well as increased unemployment, I posted on a certain subreddit that inflation was likely. A NAME OF A FANTASY WORLD: DOES IT NEED TO BE CHANGED It doesn't grab my attention either, but then nor do some real country names. You said it was a fantasy story so you could try translating the phrase "land of hope" into different languages and seeing if mashing those together works better. THINGS YOU RECENTLY BOUGHT OR GOT I should have got some t-shirts from Amazon, but the idiot union UPS driver appears to have delivered them to the neighbor's house. I'm in the 1300 block and they're in the 1200 block. THINGS THAT ANNOY ME, BUT SHOULDN'T Things that annoy me but shouldn't: celebrities with improbably unusual last names that may or may not be stage names. Billy Idol, yeah. Iggy Pop, sure. CREATIVE WRITING FORUMS A creative writing forum dedicated to all writing, where writers can discuss publishing, plot, character development, word mechanics, and may use our Writing Workshop to GUN SHOT ONOMATOPOEIA I think it depends on your writing style. I do use onomatopoeia for my works but I mainly write fanfiction where anything goes. If I read "BOOM" or "BLAM" early on in a novel I think it would be okay so long as it doesn't happen very often.JAMES' OR JAMES'S
Location: Texas. From what I understand, to make a singular noun possessive, it would be James's. "The ball was James's toy".

"HAD CAME" VS "HAD COME" The past perfect tense is what you are forming. It consists of the word had followed by the past participal form of the verb.

Starting with one word--let's say "mundane" for the non-magic-users--and wandering from word to word in a thesaurus (most easily done in a electronic one, which is easy enough online) could give you some fresh ideas of how people think of the mundane versus the exotic, and whatever other concepts WRITING SOMEONE WAKING UP FROM A KNOCKOUT?

The MC has been out long enough to be drug into a room and tied up and the scene I'm trying to start begins with them waking up, what they feel/see/smell as they come to their senses and figure out what's going on. DESCRIBING DEATH FROM THE POV OF THE PERSON DYING Ok, in my serial, I have just killed off a major character. The character's death is slow in the hospital.

DISCUSSION: WHAT DEFINES A CHARACTER OF AUTHORITY A topic that's been living rent-free in my head since the war veteran thread & the brief discussion on what and how orders are issued. I've a whole slew of characters in various positions of authority and leadership in my current project; it's always interested me how people "define" authority, and how it's best expressed & portrayed. FIGHT SCENE EXAMPLES OR TIPS? A few thoughts: - Be active. Eradicate any passive voice. The fight has to be personal for the reader to be invested in the conflict. (Maybe someone has a particularly illustrative example, but can't think of one off the top of my head. WHICH IS CORRECT: GUESTROOM OR GUEST ROOM OR GUEST-ROOM Compare the two sets: Guestroom, bedroom, bathroom: all private areas. Dining room, living room, sitting room: all communal areas. It makes more sense to group guestroom with the first group. CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: SCARS Is the character ashamed of the scars? Or proud - that she survived? Perhaps as you further develop the character, on these repeated references to the scars, you can describe them less literally and more as to how they make her feel, or how the reactions of those who see them make her feel, or the observer feels. Maybe these are a reminder of a battle, or an attack she overcame and serve as METAPHOR FOR 'PALE COMPLEXION' The first thing I thought of was the moon. In East Asian cultures, pale-faced women are compared to the moon - although I will note that usually when we do so, it's because we find such paleness attractive; in the old days (and even nowadays to some extent), the ideally attractive woman in East Asian had a pale and rounder face.

GENERAL TIPS FOR WRITING SARCASTIC/WITTY CHARACTERS I'm a sucker for sarcastic, snarky characters whether they be in books, TV or movies. My default setting is about 60% sarcasm on a daily basis, so I really enjoy writing snappy dialogue where the characters often try to match wits and attempt to take each other downa peg or two.

BULLETS....ANY FIREARMS EXPERTS HERE? (PEOPLE WHO SHOOT What is commonly mistaken as the 'bullet' is actually a cartridge. The bullet is the projectile, and then you have the casing and the rest.

DRUDGE WORK
In a city full of unstable magic, bad ideas can lead to great rewards, and the senior students at the Academy of Mages have the worst ideas of all. Merrick Fitzroy, undoubtedly the heaviest mage who ever lived, thinks his particularly bad idea might just change the world and make him rich, provided he doesn’t melt his own face off in the process. Dogged at every turn by guild enforcers, unwelcome guests, and some hideous, unreasonable creature bent on his demise, Merrick plods along the razor’s edge between glory and disaster. Science and sorcery collide in an irreverent fantasy romp that asks all the important questions like, “Who the hell set the school on fire?” _Drudge Work_, a fantasy novel written by bossfearless.
