    Feel like shit fr...

    I've expressed this in a few posts before, but I'll it again for you: as long as you continue to write, you will improve. Don't think of your stories so harshly. Not everything you create will be a masterpiece. No one can score 100% at life. Everyone has to grow and develop, just like the...

    What role would you take in a movie/series adaptation of your story.

    I would honestly just want to be there to make sure things play out how I had them in my head... If at least 90% of it comes out how I wished, I would be content

    Wait, did I really write that?

    Ah, I think this:

    Recommended amount of chapters prepared prior to publicizing a novel beforehand?

    Depends how serious and dedicated to the story I think. Like, if you're writing a gag book for comedy not quality, then sure. Raw dog it. Hammer out a chapter whenever you feel silliest. But if you're working on something you want to be good, I always think people should completely finish it...

    Happy end? Or just lazy writing?

    Ah, it depends. I try to do both kinds of writing: ones that are tragic and ones that are not. I would feel miserable if all my stories led up to a devasting ending. I do feel that making everything completely heaven after an antagonist is dealt with is kind of lazy, but I also don't want to be...

    Information Exposure Done Right?

    For me, it depends on the situation and the storytelling. Sometimes, I info dump when it becomes relevant. One of the stories I'm working on has a pair pretending to be married. A smart and attentive journalist quickly finds them out. She corners one of the two and manages to get him to spill...

    How young is too young?

    It really depends on the type of novel, I think. Like in Qi Ye, the main character is reincarnated and is mentally centuries years old, but he's put into the body of himself when he was ten or something like that. Priest skipped a majority of it and moved ahead to the relevant parts of his life...

    Yes yesss. And it's so annoying because gah which one do I focus on first??? It's so hard to made a decision too

    Why did you create your stories? And what motivates you to continue?

    My first book, which is still being published, was created for experience! I wanted to push myself and see what I could do and write when it came to my own original stories since I grew up writing fanfiction as practice. There was the test to see how I created characters, relationships...

    Title drop.

    I think it completely depends on the title and the type of novel. Like, my current uploading book is called "Severed Wings" which relates to an action in the book. One of the main characters is partly a phoenix and partly a human. Phoenixes are known to die and resurrect even stronger. So...

    Something you 100% believe in author do but dont admit

    Write personal side stories and/or snippets for their characters... Like, I have so many self-indulgent docs. For instance, in my current ongoing book, one of my characters is in a very tragic situation, locked in a dirty cell by the antagonist, and her love interest has taken a job inside of...

    Do you ever listen to music while you write or brain storm.

    I loveee listening to music, but I fear that if it's in a language I know, then I'll get distracted by it. Unless I want to be inspired by my music, I usually play songs I enjoy the tune and sound of but do not fully understand the meaning of, if that makes sense... A lot of my playlist consist...

    Writting multiple different stories at the same time

    This is something that I think completely depends on the writer. Personally, I can write multiple stories at once and keep my ideas and universes separated from one another, but there might be some people who find the challenge to be tricky. What I think you should do is figure out what kind of...

    Writing schedule

    This 100% depends on you! I don't think there should be any stereotypical time at all. Writers are alllll different. Do it based on your time and what you think you can handle. For instance, my current uploading is Mondays and Thursdays. This is because of multiple factors: 1. my book is very...

    I fear I love yapping. If someone asks something that I can speak on, I speak.

    What method do you use to build your novel ?

    There are a couple for me. My most dangerous one is writing with no plan. Just let the wind blow through my hair. The one I try to stick to the most is creating an outline. First, I think of what I want the story to be. What's the plot? What's going to happen? Why is it going to happen? Who is...

    Finish the book or edit while writing?

    For me, it entirely depends how I feel about the work. Like, I started posting my work wayyyy before I was finished because I was really excited to get it out there, however, I was nowhere near having it finished nor did I even have an ending thought of. Now, I'm a bit more relaxed lol. I have...

    Best platforms and/or apps to help write effectively on mobile and/or desktop devices?

    I either use Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Both have mobile apps, and both can be accessed on computer browsers

    Writing style...

    I strongly believe that everyone has their own writing style. If this is what you like, then perfect! That's what you like. Audience is a different story. You're right. This type of style is a little more difficult; I think fewer people like this look of what comes across more as a movie...
