I would recommend WriteMonkey under writing software. It's a lightweight application which I have found to be quite useful in clearing away distractions and providing me with a simple platform for pushing out decent drafts.

I'm part of the "write in silence" club. I'm envious of all of you who can write with music on. I can't hear dialogue in my head with music in the background, as much as I'd love to have something on. Feels more like a crutch than a blessing. Without the music I lose the atmosphere and struggle to ...

Wrote the first arc of a sci-fi action thriller way back in high school, as part of a collaboration between myself and a close friend. I hope to someday finish the story and produce it as a VN, in tribute to the brief time we spent together.

But, generally speaking if the only genderqueer figure you have in your game is evil...that isn't so great. Why, exactly? It's a story, not a propaganda piece. Why should politics dictate fiction? Why should any kind of person be excluded from even the opportunity to play a major role in a story? S...

Sounds like you missed out on Sengoku Rance. To each his own, I suppose.

Get the Girl Out the The Bag: I would not play this game because the girl told me not to and heavily implied that playing this game would be about me forcing her to so something she doesn't want. And that feels like it is a trap about non-consentuality for the player. So, if the Girl says playing t...

I am of the opinion that execution is vastly more important than premise. I would rather read through a magnificently well-written VN about being a japanese high school boy who has the option to romance one of several archetypal female classmates than a pile of careless slop about C'thulu rescuing p...

I got three on the drawing board; one cyberpunk action thriller, one paranormal activity mystery, and a slice-of-life involving robots. But they're on the backburner while I push out the first draft of a low-magic fantasy drama I've had in the works. About a third of the way through that, by my esti...

You know what they say: you can't edit a blank space. I find it's vastly easier to revise and refine something that's already there, so most of the struggle is in putting something - anything, really - down in the first place. The fear that you'll put out something shitty and never go back to fix it...

Friends? What are those?

G-Senjou no Maou does it. In particular, it uses ADV when the protagonist is in control of the narration, but switches to NVL when shifting the perspective to describe what is happening to other characters in the third person, especially when the protagonist is not present. I thought it worked out v...

For me, this was a surprisingly pleasant step into the alien world of otome VNs. Above all else, I feel that this story had excellent pacing. 40k words in a month is quite a task in and of itself; having it be a well-paced plot rather than a loose collection of scenes is all the more impressive. Tha...

Alrighty then, let's get crankin'! A couple of thoughts which occurred to me while reading this passage: The lanterns in the hallway were dimmer than usual. I made a mental note to ask Kiko or Lea if the caterpillars had been fed. Don't forget your semicolons; they help your reader to understand tha...

The thing about vacuums is that they tend to get filled. When the people find that there are no places left in which they can speak freely, they will simply create a space in which to do so once more.

Viva la resistance, I suppose.

Frankly, I don't understand the appeal, but to each his own.
