    Writing mutuals?

    Sadly, I don’t have Discord. I tried it, but got really overwhelmed by it.

    New writer, how does anyone get readers here?

    @Shelbie if you're not trying to make an enemy... well, let's just say that your tone does not come across as someone who wants to be friends. Calling a complete stranger arrogant isn't really the way to go here. I don't think my writing is "too good" to be shared. In fact, I struggle to see...

    As an author, how do you feel when you reread your novels?

    I love re-reading my own work, because nobody knows exactly how to enterain me or tug at my heart like I do. This is how I know I'm writing primarily for myself. If I don't like it in hindsight, or if it doesn't resonate with me in hindsight, then I did it wrong.

    After trying to share my writing on several platforms, my conclusion is that getting more than a few readers means compromising your own authenticity and delivering a product to be consumed rather than a passion project. If you aren't willing to give up your authenticity, then write what you...

    Who is the character you like the most and who is the character you hate the most in your novel?

    The character I dislike the most in the piece I'm working on right now, The Art of Redemption, is Anya Pavlenko, the ex-wife of one of my protagonists. She's the kind of person who'd steal your cat and then taunt you about it (among other things) I obviously love my protagonists, Nikolai and...

    Writing a thesis or fiction, which is more difficult?

    As someone who has written both a thesis and several works of fiction, I can definitively say (for myself) that writing my thesis was way more difficult. A thesis requires accurate research and clear,concise writing as well as accurate citations of other works. There is definitely a wrong way to...
