    @GyroscopicGraphite neither myself nor Impregmaniac have aphantasia, but rather hypophantasia; which means our visualization capacity is reduced but still there. Part of why I'm a bookworm is vivid descriptions can create vivid images in my head, which is the only way that ever happens. For the...

    Intellectual gatekeeping

    Many do, but if you look at what's going on by the political elite controlling the narrative, it's more insidious. The US political right (and as a reminder, the US Overton Window is center-right, and so the DNC is center-right despite often being called left-wing) has been actively engaging in...

    Simple question about ----------

    So um exactly how many short dashes (-) do we need to create the long lines which I refer to as scene breaks? I'm probably using between ten and twenty right now, and it's starting to bother me that I don't know the exact amount. ---------------- Example of what I'm talking about above.

    Intellectual gatekeeping

    For sake of spreading definition, the right of habeas corpus is the right to have your prosecution be before a court of law or judge (in case of a simple written request) rather than before the executive or his subordinates. This ensures that the executive can't act unchecked.

    Intellectual gatekeeping

    I think a lot more people are keenly aware of what habeas corpus is, and why it's the foundational right of due process, than you would think right now considering it's topicality to US politics (also it's really sad that it's become so critically relevant but I digress)...

    I'm highly educated in a few, including gender, particularly as it relates to neurology. As long as someone's summary doesn't cross the line from reductionism to falsehood, I don't particularly mind.

    What do your characters dress like, and how did you get there?

    Nor is overwriting that necessarily desirable, which can become challenging when writing a fantasy story with multiple characters which have storylines with partial shared chapters. I present to you: the height chart of DnD races. It's not the easiest to write a chapter with these in mind and...

    Writer's barely diguised ______

    Ah in that case, it's going to be anything we don't guard against and place intentionally when it is there. Our writing is by default an expression of ourselves, and will inevitably take on part of our personalities and ideals. The only question becomes how much and to what extent.
