I've decided that I'm not going to continue posting Mentor here. It's just not active enough and it's far easier to post at FFnet. If you want to keep following the story, I've just just posted chapter 56 here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4790679/56/Mentor Thank you for reading.

Write. Yup, that's it. Just write. If not that, plan what you're about to write in clear details. Then punt your writer's block to the curb and write.

Most of the reviews I get are very polite, though if I do get a review like that, I just reply back honestly and thank them for reviewing. There's nothing wrong with being polite. Though, if the review is obviously written by a troll, I ignore it.

My spacing issue has more to do the sentences themselves: for example, thissentence has spacing issues verysimilar to whathappens when I try topost. Spaces are taken out and I refuse to manually correct every single sentence. So, for now, just follow Mentor on FF.net. Thanks for reviewing...

Yeeeah, Matt, the slash fic writer comment was really not necessary. Just because they don't ship a favorite pairing of yours does not make it wrong. At least, that's the thing you're implying.

I've tried to post Chapter 55, but every time I do, it has serious spacing issues all throughout the chapter and there's no way I'm going through it to sort out every single word. If you want to read the chapter, read it here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4790679/55/Mentor If these spacing...

How long does it take you to write a one-shot/chapter? Depends how long it is. My average chapter length is over 5000 words, but it also depends on how lazy I am. I try to aim for 1000 words a night, so it takes me about a week to write a chapter on a very, very good week. Though I can get...

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word plot. I tend to think of character-driven and plot-driven stories as different creatures, and even if a story is character-driven, they do, of course, have plots. Sorry. <_<

Yay, new topic. ^_^ Obviously, as the title says, what tips would you give to a writer? It doesn't have to be specific or anything, but most of us are writers, so there must be something we can give as advice. Mine: Treat all of your characters equally, whether protagonists or antagonists...

To tell the truth, I do like it when the story starts out with trainers getting their starters. It doesn’t necessarily have to be from a lab or go in a cookie-cutter way, but there’s just something about a journey fic that starts off like that, that appeals to me. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but it’s...

About the journey fics that turn into something else as it goes along thing, I don't think the writers plan for something like that to happen. It doesn't matter what idea you have in the future for you fic, it's safe to say that it'll change as you go along. Maybe the writers just find their...

Chapter 54 of Mentor is up.

Last time... on Mentor! Ghosts attack the Pokemon Center and eveyone flees. While taking shelter, Ally convinces Leah that they need to go to Pokemon Tower, and everyone comes along to help. On the way, however, ghost attacks leave Zach and Natalie missing, Chandelle knocked out, and Leah too...

Other than that, I don't see any grammar mistakes but it's possible I could have missed them. I will say though that it's odd that Black's friends haven't found him yet. Black doesn't seem to be a common name, and he is technically the Champion of Unova now. But I guess his friends still think...

Thanks for reviewing, TheSmartOne. :) I really need to go back and edit past chapters one day, not to mention touch them up a bit. Either way, I'm happy to inform you that the next chapter just needs to be edited and I'll probably have it posted in about eight hours, so look forward too it!
