Daily Weird Prompt

The Son of Sun
Write about a character who lives in a city currently being attacked by an enormous monster. The catch? This creature has already destroyed half of the city, within a few hours– and shows no signs of stopping. Double catch? This monster is made entirely of light.

Welcome back to ‘Max Plays’, a gaming segment where I play through a story-focused video game and examine the way that it builds a narrative. This game is something special to me— Harebrained Schemes’s revival of one of my favorite pen & paper RPGs: Shadowrun Returns! In this game we take the role of a character amidst a world where magic and technology exist...

Daily Character Question

No Respite

maxkirin:

Hello, writerly friends! I believe that there are certain subjects in writing to which there are (really) no unbiased answers. So, I thought instead of just sharing *my* opinion, that we would have an open forum. Share your opinion and answers in the comments! Today, let’s talk about: Titles!!

How do you come up with titles?

Have a writing question you’d like me to answer? Leave it in the comments, it may just m...
