    How many chapters do you post per week?

    I write at a speed that makes George R.R. Martin look like a pulp fiction writer, so, out of mercy for any readers, I plan to finish the entire work, then post. I figure posting will be on a 3-4 chapters a week on a M-W-F(x2) schedule, with an average word count of 3k. To balance new chapters...

    How much do you guys charge for translation, localization and editing?

    Shouldn't you have decided the price first? I can see the other party refusing to pay as it wasn't agreed to beforehand. Then they will expect it to be free as a 'favor'.

    Frivolous buys

    So... is that simping or a pet lizard? For myself, hot tub. Mainly because I live in the great white north and can have snow 5 months of the year, and it's great fun to sit in an outdoor hottub well being snowed on.

    What evidence is needed to conclude one way and not the other

    At best a Murder/suicide. No way you're going to get that many people to agree to give up their wealth and life without something seriously hinky cult level stuff going on.

A subset of Apophenia is Pareidolia-the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on...

    Finishing My First Book Soon

    How is it any different than having one very long story? Does it really matter if instead of the final chapter being 'Chapter 167', it's Book 4, Chapter 43'? It's the same number of words, in one place, so the reader doesn't have to go hunt for book 2, 3 and 4 when they are binge reading. Should...

    Samsung can be charged using any old USB C. Apple needs a lightening cable, depending on the model.

    Finishing My First Book Soon

    I am in the process of writing a story that, as it stands, will probably span 4 books. I plan to have it all as one on here, with the chapters headings being the main thing that changes (so Book 1, Chapter 1, Book 2, Chapter 1. Ect). Currently about 170k words in, will probably be in the...

    Writing Politics

    With politics and power struggles in story, I try to keep the 'one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter' concept in mind. So depending on what faction the character is from, their interpretation on the same events can differ wildly, especially when compounded by distance and the...

    On naming the main character/point of view characters

    No. I have a very, very uncommon name (I won't share because it is so uncommon you could actually find me with very little difficulty), but it is close to the spelling of a much more common name. I joke that if I ever found one of those souvenir items with my name on it, I would have to buy it...
