    Does anyone like epic fantasy?

    We must start at the beginning. First, we must teach him to put on his pants, one leg at a time. Then his shoes! Then to brush his teeth, preferably twice a day, but we can't really complain if he doesn't, right? Eventually, we will teach him how to chase chickens, like a good farm boy. While...

    Writing [Tutorial] So you want a Critique? [Warning: RANT]

    Honestly, at my current point of experience, I would love it if someone was passionate enough to blaze through all my work and be a right problem about it. It would mean that they care, you know?

    Too spicy for RR?

    I'm also on RoyalRoad. You can put a warning for graphic sexual or violent content. You'll be fine. People eat it up, actually.

    Writing Opinions on my Cover Art of my new work?

    I like the cover a lot! I do agree with legibility of the text, a color change would do it, or a glow around the edge -- instead of a dropshadow, a mild glow.

    Does anyone like epic fantasy?

    Why? ? What's wrong? The antihero trope has been a serious trend recently. I get the appeal after years of Superman-esque characters, but I also don't like that everything seems to gravitate that way. I really like heroes who seem real. They can be antihero-esque but they need some real, heroic...

    Done killing myself for my story (for now)

    You also work? ? I'm amazed. I really wasn't kidding, 2500 word chapters every day was insane for me. I mean I straight up couldn't keep it up by the end of week 4, I couldn't think anymore. Granted, I haven't used my writing muscles before, but wowza.

    What do you think about writing not to be popular but to be remembered (eternal)?

    Honestly...I think the world is filled with written works. I think you're lucky if you get a subset of people to truly care about and remember your work for half a lifetime, and insanely lucky if they remember you for hundreds of years (which you won't know, anyway). It's a fool's errand, in my...

    Done killing myself for my story (for now)

    I've never written professionally (or semi-professionally) before. I just completed a month of balls-to-the-wall, full-time output. Over the month, I developed my style, my voice, my workflow, and my writing technique. I also wrote 19 chapters. I can see that the quality of my chapters slid...

    What are your honest thoughts on harem stories?

    I think a lot of harem stories don't know what consent, real emotional depth, or found family really looks like. A lot of times it comes across as a power fantasy -- oh look, eight girls can't get enough of me, how awesome am I?! -- instead of what a good "harem" really would be.

    That moment...

    This honestly sounds like a wonderful moment that really changed a lot for you. I hope my work gives me an epiphany someday too. It sounds like an incredibly meaningful and wild experience.

    How to gain readers as a new author?

    Thank you. ?? I certainly think it is. ? (Of course I would.) Buffer chapters are incredible. I have none right now. I'm right up against my Patreon. It sucks. Don't do that. Always be ahead.

    Demoralizing Reddit reception

    Me and my pet sex offender are gonna stay together for the next four books. ? Honestly, I think you're on to something. I did not know that the bird-thing would happen. I was amazed watching it. It's hilarious tbh. It's like the people who wouldn't have said anything if it had a positive...

    How to gain readers as a new author?

    My current theory is that if they don't know I exist, then they can't like my story. So I'm thinking I have to make sure they know I exist, see. Best I've got so far.

    Do you keep writing novels even if your novels only have 1 or 2 digit readers (or no reader - maybe you don't publish them)?

    Yes...I have to tell the story so that's what I'm doing. I'm just kind of hoping someone cares someday.
