    Writing Something Special Is Difficult

    Those who pursue the literary arts, or artistic endeavors in general, usually have some level of self loathing. In me, like you, it sometimes manifests in some level of derision for my own work. I think when you are feeling that way it's important to recognize that at the end of the day, this...

    When’s the best time to post for natural traffic?

    Legend says that there is a golden posting time, where if you get it right down to the exact second, your chapter will magically be the only one that's on the home page, therefore getting all the views. Many have tried, but no one has been able to confirm it's existence yet. Some have dedicated...

    Do you still read Japanese, Chinese and Korean novels after knowing about Scribblehub which provides free stories?

    Surprisingly no. I used to read stuff on novel updates all the time. Then there was this one novel that caught my eye that got pushed on novel updates. I think it won a scribble hub writing contest. I pretty much never used novel updates again after that. I follow a few stories on CHYOA and...

    What strange creatures have you found in mythology, legends, or depicted historically?

    Tapirs are pretty silly animals just in general and have been known to be represented as dream eaters in East Asian cultures. Haven't seen much representation. Probably on account of being so goofy. Get in the van, we're going to Squonkapalooza.

    Is this cover too degenerate?

    It's not really a problem of the clothing being too revealing but the position and content overall. The mouth gag/rein thing is almost certainly not going to fly, and the position of the kid riding her, even if it is the lower back is probably a bit too wild. Again, I dunno though and this is...

    Is this cover too degenerate?

    It'll more than likely be rejected for pushing the advertisers guidelines too much. But hey, why not try anyways?

    Got a message from my therapist

    You tell people you write? I thought we were all reclusive and secretly ashamed of being creatives and hiding that shit. Real talk though, I literally could not tell anyone I do this. I would die from shame and anxiety. Could be the smut, but who knows? :blob_hmm_two:

    On Fanfiction.net, I’ve seen bots in the review section ask for commission.

    It's probably just the new flavor of the week AI grift. They get some spam bot to post on every web novel they can find and then use low effort AI generated art to do the commissions. They're not expecting to get anyone really, but the pure volume of messages sent out means that they'll at...

    All fanfic writers are creatively bankrupt thieves.

    Martial arts and sexual cultivation writers are the lowest of lows. That's right, I said it, what're you gonna do? Go fuck another young masters girl to get stronger?

    Story Being Reposted :c

    Where is it being reposted? If they have a comment function for stories, spam that shit. Every time they post one of your chapters, make a comment about how they're posting without your permission and stealing your story. Post a bad review and explain how it's stolen work. There's normally a...

    How do y'all fall about the death of the author theory?

    I've thought about the death of the author a lot, and I love the concept. The reader could be 'wrong', they could get the polar opposite message of what you mean to express, but it's real. The lesson they learn is the snapshot of who they are, and it reminds me that everyone's experiences are as...

    One Patreon or two?

    Don't see why you would need a second Patreon. Just create different tiers for the different novels. You can have tiers that include both but are more expensive as well. Personally, I don't like it when there are only bundle tiers available that are more expensive since I might not care for a...
