hi anons
I'm beginning to plan and write a roman historical fiction story, but I've never done a creative writing project before, so I wanted to start with a series of short stories about different people who will meet/be clients of the main character, instead of a single long story. The main character is going to be a sculptor, and his clients will provide the backdrop for the short stories: a centurion, a cultist, a witch, a senator etc. I think this will be a good idea because it will provide a good way to "divide" the entire story for editing, and it will allow me to experiment with different writing styles depending on the story being told. Additionally I get to use experience learned from writing one short story to improve another: I think this format worked very well in the Golden Ass by Apuleius, which I think has inspired my thoughts in general. I feel like I have a fantastic idea but have no experience in writing before so it will be a poorly executed mess. Is this a good plan for someone with no creative writing experience or am I in over my head?

So how long until it becomes COMMON for sub-perfect men to permanently relocate to poorer countries with the intention of finding a desirable wife among the locals? This is clearly already happening, but it's kind of frowned upon to say the least. While there are men who don't have much going and are happy to work minimally, live simply, and/or be NEETs, there are also plenty of men who do work and do have things going on but still have zero dating traction. I think we're going to see the formation of a new class of people in the coming years: moderately decent men who simply up and leave because the women in their home countries are too far gone.
