    I'm trying to write a book that has Autistic Characters in it

    I need specific advice here. As I've mentioned before in another thread, I'm writing a novel in which I hide the fact that certain characters are Autistic until chapter 5. I'm hoping that NTs/CLs (as I call them and as they're later referred to in the novel) in the audience gets hooked on the...

    Publishing a novel

    So, to cut a long story short, my An Appeal to Heaven series is now going to be both a novel and this sort of online picture story. (again, it’s a long story that I don’t have time to go into on) This leads me to think about publishing, and how expensive and difficult it could be; what is your...

    Excerpts from books I’m reading. (Trigger Warning)

    I thought I’d start a thread in which post interesting and thought-provoking things I’m coming across in the books I’m reading. Most of it will be from Lord of the Rings, but one of the books I’m reading is The Gulag Archipelago, hence the Trigger Warning, though I’ll try to avoid anything too...

    Writing a story where the hero isn't the protagonist

    In my fantasy trilogy, there is character in the book that is sort of a traditional hero. He appears now and then throughout the trilogy as a minor character, sometimes even a bit of comic-relief character, and then around midway through the third book he finally emerges as a traditional hero...

    What resources are needed to make and publish a graphic novel?

    I'm starting to realize that story writing isn't just going to be a hobby for me, but my career, despite how difficult that may be. I still want to explore some of my other career ideas when I can, especially that Catholic art-selling site; but for now, I'm going to explore my literary ideas and...

    Does anyone else love Bret Easton Ellis novels?

    He's probably up there with NiSiOiSiN and Murakami Haruki as one of my favorite authors. His stories are so funny that I laugh out loud more than once and yet they can also be very bleak and emotional near the end. I will never forget the very dark plotline in In The Rules of Attraction where...
