mmm I was worried that might be the case, its one of those 'life's busy' sort of things, I like writing but can only commit so much time to it next to other things, especially when other things bring money in.
Oh also thank you
mmm i see, at some point I'll have to go back through and edit a lot of the earlier stuff, for now I will keep that in mind for what comes next
Now the swap to first person is meant to be a touch jarring, but does the first person read properly? I want the story to be firmly inside his head...
Editing is something i struggle a lot with, I see so many ways people write and I tend to fall back on what I remember from school with paragraphing, or what was 'proper'. I thought dialog had to go at the end or middle more often to help readers keep track of who's talking.
Later chapters...
I think that's a good point, but I don't necessarily think I am an average reader, not that I have a higher bar of quality but more that I naturally find I don't align with many people, I notice weird stuff or pick up odd patterns and I have to try and write for everyone, plus I have context for...

So I have issues with a lot of what Isekai offers today. So I thought I might as well try my hand at it instead of just complaining.
But i haven't written stories since highschool and I have no idea if the way i...
It's just the picture i use for everything, based on a photo of my old dog. love your well dressed orc btw.
oh for real? like i just toss the link there? I haven't scrounged around in forums in probably 10 years and i popped in on a whim. So proper etiquette with this stuff is a little lost to me.
I'd say it's a hobby with room to grow, that growth thrives on attention and demand not from me but from others since hobbies don't pay bills.
I'm stuck in the space of: writing well is a pain in the ass, especially if no one reads or can tell me if I'm doing it right in the first place.
Not...
That's the sort of confidence I hope to have at some point, I guess i get too wrapped up in if what i make is good, but if I'm writing for others good becomes so subjective and intangible. Writing is decently fun, I get bogged down in the idea that it's not good enough to just write what I'm...
I struggle to lock in for writing, i try and get a chapter every week or two even if they aren't long, mostly because i thrive on feedback. Uploading more would probably get more eyes but its difficult to push for it.
Do i need to just separate myself from outside opinion and write for me even...
I get where your coming from, I like planning the background of what I'm writing a lot but it becomes hard when all those pieces are on the board for the actual story.
