Wow, incredible. What a great post.

I have no fucking idea what I'm doing, and I want to change that.

You know, insulting me is no way to get my advice.

Good day.

Sorry. I thought responding like that would make me look more serious.

You just pick something and stick with it

I'd focus on getting out and having real life experiences more, and becoming self sufficient, but really, if you want to write then you just write. You most likely won't be successful in a grand scale way, but you can try. It's your life. Live it in whatever weird way you want. 4chan is not going to pick for you.

This area isn't the kind of place where IRL life experiences are good ones. Though I do go on walks sometime down the cycling path near here.

I know that I want to pick something, I just keep thinking: Do I take the shitty thing I wrote when I was 11 and fantasizing about being a timebending badass with guns in a world of magic and monsters, and try to turn that mess of fantasy tropes into an original setting, or do I rip off Stands and make a series about OC Stand users, calling the Stands something else and giving them some kind of unique backstory?

Look for a book similar to what you want to write, that way you will know how to go about it. Also, try to separate your story into chapters and write everything each chapter should have.

I'd say just start writing short stories, then move to books. Writing a bad story is much less depressing than writing a bad book.

Unpopular opinion time.

All practitioners of a craft or occupation undergo some kind of training, yet we expect writers to be natural, exhibiting talent like a precocious zoo animal, or having wild and interesting private lives they can make public for cash as though we were all intellectual strippers.

Read widely, write, read books on writing. Take writing classes. Listen to other writers or how they work. An MFA isn't for everybody and there are a huge amount of problems with academia and diploma mills, but for fuck's sake, stop pretending this is something that just happens.

It's not a god damn birthright lordship. It's a craft, maybe even an occupation, and, if you're lucky, an art.

I like you. Also, she is beautiful.

What should I read first, when writing in the fantasy genre? I've decided to try and make my Jojo's knockoff original.

What "Should" each chapter have?

I came up with some mythology and worldbuilding stuff to explain stands, making them different from the ones in Jojo's. I also have a new name for stands.

Also, has anyone seen RWBY? Almost nothing in that mess of anime tropes and fantasy tropes is original, but it's beloved thanks to great fight scenes and the star power of its creators. Should I do a similar thing? "It's not Materia, it's Dust" and all that?

Whatever you consider that should happen, usually just start a conflict and then build it up until the end of the chapter, make a cliff hanger and in the next chapter you resolve that conflict and start a new one. That way the reader will be hooked.

There's nothing more specific i can tell you about this, if i did, i would be writing your book for you.

What are the best "How to write well and not do this cliche pitfall mistake" sites? I found one and it's good, except for the fact that the writer believes in feminist dogma. Still, as long as you ignore all her posts about women or culture, it's ok.
