《Notebook of possibilities》The future!
Advertisement
This chapter is, as the title implies, about the future. Now, does this mean talking about sci-fi fantasy litrpgs?
Sadly... No. I could go on and fill a couple of paragraphs with thoughts and theories about how to utilize magic in space exploration... But if you're gonna do that you'd probably be making a vrmmo litrpg. Nothing wrong with that, but the respawn mechanic kinda takes away some of the danger that can be found in a reincarnation, or summoned hero story. Although permadeath series go quite well. In my opinion at least. It prevents marysues from taking on the surname leroy Jenkins.
But no, this chapter is about how I'm unsure of what to do for this 'book', there is the chance that it will continue to be about tips for various genres and about how to write. But everything leading up to this chapter quite well explains the basis of what I believe is a good foundation for being able to write, and continue doing so, how to improve your writing. One thing I have never mentioned, however, is vocabulary. Having an expansive vocabulary helps to keep your story from getting stale, not based on plot, that's how you want it to go, but based on how you describe the action, and how the story plays out. It's important to have a good number of pronouns at hand, but you must also remember that labeling what character does what is most important. Making a string of action verbs to describe a Jackie Chan asswhooping scene doesn't work when somewhere in the middle they lose who Jackie Chan is. If you use the pronoun "he" for two characters without ample ability to tell who did what, suddenly you get the "good clone bad clone" moment where the sidekick Patsy has the gun and has to shoot the good or bad one. And that's just no good for the reader to be doing this unless you absolutely want to pull of a moment where in they are unsure who is who and pull some kind of swap around for a plot twist. I would not suggest an evil twin thing though. Maybe go for a pair of twins are switching g places and get found out, go for a fake evil twin plot, then they resume things with one of them getting free and escaping after the choice is made.

Kinda like that old riddle, you walk down a hallway and come to a fork with two identical statues. A sign in the middle says that one statue always tells the truth, the other always lies. And in order to figure out which one tells the truth which guards the path that leads to heaven, you may only as one question.
The answer is obviously that you ask either statue this. "If I asked your companion statue which path to take, what would they say?" The answer is given, and you take the opposite route. The good statue will tell you the evil statue would day the route leading to hell, and the evil statue would lie about the good statue and also say the road to hell. So you go the opposite way.
However in the case of swap twins, both ways lead to heaven, and the truth is neither statue wants to be found out that they are both telling the truth.
But yes. If the pen is mightier than the sword, than surely the amount of words you have is how many ways you can cut with your pen. Keep your wits sharp, and your ink ever flowing. :3

Long War [Oldest]
It was a war. It was silent, so silent that few people ever noticed that it was happening, and long. So long that those who knew forgot why it ever started. Humanity had fought against itself... and lost. Prosperity, democracy and human rights were a thing of the past now, as the world fell into Sovereigns's hands - a handful of transnational corporations (and their CEOs) that monopolized the world economy. The resistance had been long silenced with the policy of bread and games. Now, over a hundred years later, something happened. One of the Sovereigns created a VRMMORPG like none other. A science fiction game, where players could explore the Galaxy... full of advanced technologies, bloodthirsty aliens and even magic. Was it a simple computer game, or... something else?
