Mar 24	comment	How to convert DOI to citation information @StevenDrennon - this seems like it would be suited to web apps, but I do wonder if it also fits here. Meta would be the place to discuss. We've already had a general software discussion there.
Mar 23	revised	Are there any syllable-counting applications for poety writing? added 49 characters in body; edited tags; edited title
Mar 23	comment	Is there a name for this kind of sentence structure? I wonder if this is also suited (maybe better suited) to English?
Mar 19	revised	What is a good software tool for thesaurus? edited tags
Mar 16	accepted	How can I put something in book format without “publishing” it?

Feb 27	comment	Are there online research resources that cater to writers? What about the appropriate Stack Exchange site?
Feb 27	comment	How would I find a publisher who is accepting unsolicited manuscripts from authors? @Standback - I read through it, but it seemed rather general. I am hoping for a more specific list of...steps I think is the best way to put it.

Feb 27	comment	My “Bio”. Is the language OK? Welcome. I realize this was migrated from English, but unfortunately our guidelines do not allow critiques of a piece's grammar.

Feb 21	comment	How do I decide if writing expository scenes that won't be in my finished novel is useful, or procrastination? @Sheelawolf, and John - we can discuss the policy, but let's do so in chat where the other mods can chime in. I'm going to clean up this comment thread so it stays relevant.

Feb 17	comment	Do I need to know anything to write a short story that I wouldn't know by studying how to write novels? @NeilFein - good point. By compressed I don't mean compacting ideas, but rather expressing a lot in a short space. I basically think of all fiction as on a hierarchy from poetic (many layers of meaning in the word choice, imagery, rhyme structure, etc.) to the world-building novels of the Victorian era. Short stories are closer to poetry and further from world-building.

Feb 17	comment	Do I need to know anything to write a short story that I wouldn't know by studying how to write novels? A note on the structure: short stories may keep it pretty close to that structure, but the emphasis tends to be way different than in a novel - the denouement is typically a lot shorter (sometimes as short as a paragraph or sentence, or maybe almost non-existent) leaving to a much stronger sense of shock.
Feb 15	comment	How can I put something in book format without “publishing” it? Good question on the purpose. The purpose is to have all the rhymes in one place for my friend to be able to read to said friend's kids, since right now they aren't, and ideally make it cute. But at the same time since I do think they are good I wouldn't want to mess with my efforts to get my friend to polish them up and shop them around.
