[Vent] For Authors who just need a moment to let it all out

[Valmond]

There are not enough hours in the day... went through one chapter to edit before upload and wound up re-reading and editing five, losing an entire hour tonight... ugh.

I feel this, I make one damn edit. And next thing I know, I missed the entire night because I am just constantly editing.

Happens on RR as well.

Tags on RR are awfully hard to find if you don't expand them with the [+] button

It really isn’t that hard. You get to see the initial set of tags, and then a + button. On top of this, if you’re searching for a book. You have the search option to filter by tags.

Is it harder to see? Yes. Though, is it likely to be missed? Not if you’re looking at the initial set of tags.

And even then, people ignore the What to Expect section as well, which lists out everything. So, I don’t know what to say on that end.

This is my What to Expect Section. ?

My brain isn't braining anymore

I've reached a point in my story where it's not fun to write anymore. I don't know if I lost inspiration, or if the current arc doesn't resonate with me as much, but it has been quite hard to write the last 5 chapters. I mean, I still do my daily chapter (and more !) but it feels more like I write because I have to, and not because I want to. I love writing, and I'm still enjoying it, so it's strange to find it so hard.

I wonder if it's because I've been having another story idea for a while, and it's trotting in my mind so much that I even dream about it, but I forbid myself from working on it because I want to focus on my current story. I think it's creating a sort of creative burn out, where my imagination isn't fully utilized and that blocks my writing.

I just wanted to vent about it. It's annoying

I think that’s a personal problem.

ofc, that's why I'm venting, if everyone were the same I'd feel better or less alone

Spoiler: -_-

This laptop is gonna be the end of me I swear

This is one of the reasons why I have so many stories going at once (and why some pro authors, like Piers Anthony and Isaac Asimov did as well). Sometimes one story just falters but there are others waiting to pick up the slack.

Yes, I think I'll end up following my heart and start the new serie (even though it feels like doing the split, my current one is a demure slice of life and the new one will be an isekai BL with some triggering content)

I really don't like complaining about people. I understand my novel isn't popular and I'm grateful for the people who read and commented on my story but I would love it if more people gave my story a chance.

It will go live on my monday’s chappy. I don’t know how many will transfer over but I hope it gives it a little boost.

Also Corty,

“Now then, let’s talk a payment plan.”

Wow! I didn't know! Thank you so much!

This is my What to Expect Section.

Did it help?

Yeah, it helped. Though, sometimes I still do get people that ignore it.

I am tempted to go to the *OTHER SITE* and rate your story a half a star with a text complaining it is not a "harem power-fantasy with sexual content" only to see if MJ removed the review for being stupid, but nay, I don't do rating anymore. And I don't want to sink novels either.

Every rating I ever gave on the Royal Road only made things worse, even the 5-star ones.

Trust me, he likely won’t. ?

I had a spike of views on the same date as your post. I can't tank you enough!
