Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin replied to the topic How do I make a non-cliche escape scene? in the forum Plotting 3 years, 6 months ago
I have written quite a few escape scenes in my lifetime (the very nature of my stories require it to be so), and cliche escape scenes are one of my pet peeves in stories, so I think that I have a few tips that I can help you with.
First, what constitutes a “bad escape scene”?
1. It’s super easy, and it makes the villain look weak
2. It’s…[Read more] -

Phil is great. My favorite character would probably Rei, but Norman is just a thread behind. I really like both smart and complex characters who are a lot more than what they appear. I kinda expected Rei in the beginning to be the typical emo kid with black hair and Norman to be the typical smart kid who never breaks the rules.…[Read more]

Oh wow. Thirteen Ways to Infinity sounds crazy in the best way possible. What is the premise?

Which story took you the shortest to write and which took the longest? Why?
So for me the shortest amount of time it took to write a novel was 5 months and that was my siblings and my “Cliche Story”.Yuh, yeah. That was the working title that never got change because we wrote it mostly to have fun. Heh. We purposely wrote it to be as cliché as…[Read more]

you didn’t have to cross the “better than a comedian” part out. I’ll take that compliment proudly.
Thanks for the story, the yoda quote, and tips. But honestly, time isn’t my problem. I have several hours of free time a day where I just lay down and stare up at the sky and contemplate my life and daydream about what could have…[Read more]

Well, if you ever need a beta reader, critique, or anything else in the future, I am always available if you ever want. I hadn’t been critiquing or reading for awhile (very busy) but I’m happy to say that I can once again critique or you know, just give general thoughts or point out flaws and strengths that I see. But that is of cou…[Read more]

You’re hilarious XD (100% better than a comedian)That’s devastating…Hmm, I guess everyone may or will have different advice for you here, but I’d say the best way to keeping writing and hold onto those protein shakes, is to club your keyboard.
I mean force stuff out of your keys on spare minutes and write fi…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Your silence speaks volumes. You HAVE read it before, Linyang. You just chose to give yourself amnesia so you didn’t have to continue having nightmares about it. Smart choice. Any tips for self induced amnesia? Oh yeah, you wouldn’t remember.
And thanks for your blessing. I’ll need it.

I don’t like anime. It’s too nerdy for me. I’m not a cringe weeb. I’ve moved on to greater things.
That said, I only like Attack on Titan.
And maybe Full Metal Alchemist.
And To Your Eternity.
And Erased.
And Death Note.
And The Promised Neverland.
And Your Lie In April.
And Hunter X Hunter.
But other than that, there definitely isn’t any…[Read more]

Hello folks. It’s time to crush some hearts and dreams.

Yeah, once I heard about the massacre of season 2, I just had to pretend that season one is the only one that exists. It’s so tragic about what they did with the second season. Haven’t watched it, just heard about it. So it’s a good thing that season one is good enough to stand alone. Seriously, you should watch it if you…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin
My suggestion to help you out with this crisis, is to give up writing (and reading for that matter) entirely.
You simply can not be a complete Alpha Male (which I assume is your purpose in life) if you do anything even remotely related to arts and sciences (unless it’s Bro Science of course).
So free yourself from…[Read more]

Yo, I’m so glad this topic exists. Anime/ Manga is so fun to discuss.
I’ve only just started watching Anime last year, and my favorite was Erased for awhile, but just last month I watched Promised Neverland and took it it’s place as favorite. The characters are my favorite out of all the anime I watched and the writing was spectacular.…[Read more]
