Damn. I'm feeling old now. Let's narrow it down to 34+. :ROFLMAO: Brains haven't caught up yet, though.

I would say the phone counts as another view. I do the same thing, to make sure everything is formatting correctly. I have noticed that my views of my chapters has added extra views on the count, (but strangely, not always, I think it might have to do with how long I am viewing the page)...

It takes time. The other day for me it said 0 for ten minutes, then suddenly I had 6. 6 people did not read it in that 20 seconds, that is for certain! Also, hearts do not update in the 'table of contents' view at the same time either. When replying to a comment I noticed the heart count was 3...

I prefer the first, with deep character development and well fleshed out world building. Humour occasionally, but some... Damn it, I like both. Don't make me choose!!! :blob_dizzy: First one mostly. :blob_hmm:

Very cool! The second one in particular! :blob_highfive:

That is NICE!!! :love:

I started writing for my own enjoyment in 1996, world building, character creating, short stories/histories and even started writing chapters with intent to be published traditionally (did a few rewrites too). All the same universe/setting. :blob_pat_sad: In the start of 2009, the dark times...

Villain: What is your shoe size? Those are some nice shoes... Victim: But, I am just the messenger... Villain: Dammit, I will just have to find out for myself! You don't need shoes when there is no message to give.

Being too loose with my plots was a big issue for me when I started writing. I knew the start a couple of mid points and an awesome end. Connecting the dots was an issue. :blob_catflip: It led to discarded chapters and lost worlds. :blob_no: Now, in this more mature iteration of myself; I...

I originally started writing because I was frustrated. Firstly let's paint an image: It was before the internet became what it is now. Before the old Microsoft Messenger, or ICQ. Books, all those books. I used to destroy bookshelves, eat my way through libraries and in my bedroom I had...

I do the same, most comments that I make are public, but if an author's writing really moves me (or if there is a glaring mistake) then I prefer to let them know directly. Who I talk to about novels and things I read? I used to discuss what I read with friends. Now, with some students that I...

Thanks! :blob_highfive: We have been through the depths of hell and back together the last 14 years. Every time either has stumbled, we have held each other up. I would not have it any other way.
