The Flood / Re: Fellow writers, heed my call: any tips on writing a fantasy/sci-fi novel?« on: December 23, 2016, 04:04:21 PM »
Not sure what kind of tips you're looking for, but the greatest advice I've ever received in regards to novel-writing is to make sure four out of every five chapters end with the protagonist worse off than they were before. This helps prevent you from getting stuck halfway through the story and unable to decide what happens next, as well as keep the action flowing.
Also, little details matter. Maybe mention what the extras are doing around the protagonist, or what a character likes without it being relevant to the plot. This makes it feel like a real, lived in world. Not everything that gets mentioned has to be important. 1264

Objectively malts, but if none are available then shakes are a tolerable substitute.

The Flood / Re: Why free will probably does not exist, and why we shouldn't act like it does.« on: December 21, 2016, 08:30:42 AM »Way too tryhard and failing to understand the philosophy. I take it you're not on board the hard deterministic approach?hm, really makes the synapses in your brain fire off in ways they were always going to based on brain chemistry thereby giving the impression that one is actively pondering this subject when every thought was actually predetermined by the laws of physics I guess not. It's not something I've ever considered since it's not something worth considering. My life will continue as is regardless of whether I have free will or just imagine I have free will. 1273

The Flood / Re: Why free will probably does not exist, and why we shouldn't act like it does.« on: December 19, 2016, 05:38:18 PM »What is hard determinism? From what little I've read about it: Every atom was predetermined to exist in certain place at a certain time based on the laws of physics. This includes people. Therefore, you never make choices out of free will, you simply wind up where you were predetermined to be, just as everything else in the universe. Supposedly. 1281
