This or that: Writer's edition

Writing in bed or writing at a desk
       
         • For me it's writing at a desk, I just feel more productive at a desk rather than in bed and at my "desk" I have more quiet time versus my room at the moment. 

Listening to music or writing in silence

          • I have to write with music or some type of background noise, the quiet irritates me and makes me feel uncomfortable. 

Plotting or Pantsing 
  
         • I'm both actually, I plot while I go otherwise my work in progress goes off script if I pre-plot and then I have to scrap my outline. 

Killing off characters or writing romantic subplots 

        • I do both of these to be honest, but I'm more likely to kill off characters than to go through with the romantic subplot. 

Publish traditionally or self publish

      • I really don't know about this one since I'm nowhere near ready for this stage, I'm not sure which is better. 

Stick to one genre or write multiple genres

           • I have one MAIN genre that I write in but I add in horror and romance so I'm unsure if it's still one genre or multiple.

How I write horror in my fantasy world

Sometimes, I get goosebumps, shivers, or nightmares when writing a particularly creepy scene. I must remind myself that it's all fiction and that I control the story. You might think that's weird since I love reading, writing, and watching horror. I can handle all kinds of horror media, from books to movies to games. I enjoy the thrill, suspense, adrenaline, and catharsis that horror provides. I appreciate the creativity, craftsmanship, and diversity of horror stories. But there's one thing I can't handle: Halloween d...

Crafting Unique Nicknames in Your Fantasy World

Nicknames are a great way to add depth and personality to your characters and show their relationships and culture.
