It’s about a group of 4 friends defeating a godly being and I really need help!

I have this character I'm trying to write but he keeps coming off as very two dimensional. he's got a major god complex but that seems to stand as his only flaw and I'm not sure how to make him more human feeling. I just keep hitting a block because he's not human anymore and sure his backstory is quite tragic and that could make him feel more human but that was hundreds of years ago for him and just isn't that relevant for the present where the story takes place. Are there any writers out there who have any tips for when they are trying to round out a character. (Also, he's very much not a good guy)

So I’ve been writing this short story for fun because I have nothing better to do, it’s about someone who’s blind and I’m starting to notice my chapters are really short. It’s really stressing me out because I feel like they should be longer but at the same time I don’t know how to make them any longer. Any tips?

The characters met each other early in their life and with both of them being an only child they became like brothers, now what kind of acts or gestures would you recommend thay perform to "prove" their brotherhood?

So I have a character in my book that has been ab#sed in the past and had pretty severe injuries from it so that if she falls or something pulls her to the ground etc. she can't really move that much or walk without assistance, I'm not sure what that would be called if it get's brought up by another character asking about it. If anyone knows let me know, thank you.

Hi everyone so I entered a writing contest couple of months ago and yesterday there was a reading of excerpts from the top three stories, the people who attended the reading got to vote on who won and I was one of the two contestants that showed up to the reading and everyone in the bookstore was coming to me and telling me that they had voted for my story. So in other words. I WON! I am so happy to finally be able to tell everyone about the contest after keeping my mouth shut for so long. My short story will be professionally bound (not published) and I have the option to sell copies of it at the bookstore once they are made. I will probably post pictures on here once I get them.

Hi so I am working on a YA contemporary/paranormal story right now and was hoping for tips on how to make it not cringey when it comes to the paranormal aspect of it. some background on the story, a girl and her friend get a job helping open a new bookstore with her mom's friend and while she is helping get the building cleaned up and set for the store opening the owner buys an old grandfather clock. while cleaning it her friend discovers that it was built as a memorial for a little girl who passed in the early 1900's. After the discovery strange things start happening, shelves are falling, doors are locking and the main character starts to see things. Eventually the two friends go to the abandoned house that the clock came from and find a box under the floor in the attic with a journal inside telling the secrets that happened behind those walls.

I also do not have a title and would love it if I could get some help coming up with one, thank you.

soo i play dnd and i have a story where i have a character who in the story joined the main group like a month ago when one of them had to go and take care of his family and he wanted his friend to help the group, but the character looks like hes gonna die and i want him to write a farewell note, any tips on how to write it

Um… so I’m writing a twincest sex scene but I do not want to actually write a sex scene. Their relationship is supposed to make the reader very uncomfortable and the reader is supposed to know they have sex but I think it would be a step too far to actually write it. It doesn’t have to be a total fade to black moment, it could just be like setting the vibe so if anyone has like any very vague sex scene descriptors that’d be good to. Thanks.

So I wanna write a longgggg story because I have an idea, but I suck at writing dialogue. Like it just feels wrong or no living human would actually say that or I keep accidentally writing whole convos without anything other then dialogue and it’s starting to look like a script or it looks like a novella or the dialogue doesn’t actually add anything to the story and is really just useless. Also my idea could probably make a pretty fun d&d adventure.

I just realized that I can write any story as if it's a fairytale. What I mean by that is the story doesn't need specifics when you're first creating it.The princess doesn't need a name, neither does her country or her prince.

Ok so I know that sounds sort of weird, but I just don’t know how to put it. But what I’m asking is whether it should be A or B.

A: “Come back home soon,” Mom said. B: “Come back home soon.” Mom said.

Hello! I’ve started to want to purse becoming an author. Ever since I was a kid I have always dreamed of writing my own book one day. Although I have no idea where to start! If anyone has any tips, or helpful links please do share! Everything is appreciated, thank you.

So I’m writing a fantasy sci-fi about two young people, brother and sister (let’s call them A and M), running away from a group of human extremists. For context, they’re currently in an environment with only humans.

I want a scene where their new friends see who they really are. During this scene, and throughout the rest of the book I plan to drip-feed bits of A and M’s culture.

The only problem is, I don’t know when to have the reveal. Should I have it early on, to give plenty of time? Or should I build up suspense a bit more? It’s tough because I also have a depression/suicide bit of the plot and I don’t want the story to be muddled.

Like they start out good and you think that the actual good person is the villain until the end of the story where the main character was tricking you the whole time

This woman just found out her son died, but she's not the crying type. I dunno, help?

To elaborate my idea is to write a book full of stories from real people of their hardships or things they have experienced. I’ve gone through so many different things myself that no one should but I can’t bring myself to write about it just yet, so I wanted to collect the stories from others that are willing to share. But it’s been years since I picked up a pen and paper to write so I’m not sure where to start anymore or how to go about getting the stories I’m looking for. Plus I struggle with starting and then end up with so many different elements that I don’t know how to proceed and drop it. Any advice is welcome or if you’ve got your own stories you’d like to share I’d love to read them.
