Has anyone else rated their own story one star after they got a four star rating? Like the novel drops from 5 to 4.9, and that is somehow worse in the head than a 4.6 score. No? I didn't do that either...
It's a bit sad that I have to cut out some creative ideas for most monetary potential on a certain story I'm going to start writing. I wanted to do a dark theme, but I don't have the time to see if the risk will pay off basically. Therefore, I will just write a same premise but less creativity.
Random Person: People should make a realistic isekai.
Random Person: *Gets isekaid*
Random Person: *Doesn't know how to implement any modern inventions, despite knowing how some of them work, and realizes that there is no foundation for any of them.
Random Person: *Dies of Tetanus because he accidentally pricked himself with rusty metal.*
You can use psychology to trick yourself into doing things. I use a trick I did in the military all of the time to get myself to write. When we had to run for many miles, I would tell myself, "this is so easy, I can keep going." I continue to use this coping skill even now, but there is a major problem with this coping skill...(word limit)
Did anyone have one of those tests in highschool where the first instruction said, "read all instructions before starting." More than half of the class would not do that, and they would start working on the next problem, but at the end of the paper, it says something like, "thank you for reading all instructions, you can put the paper down and do nothing."
If you hate something, don't mention it. Like if you hate a book *cough* Twilight *cough* don't mention it. The only thing you do is bring more eyes to it, and someone will read it to see why you hate it. Hate is not an enemy to a novelist. Apathy is the enemy to a novelist. Be hated or be loved, but never be mehbleh.
