My name was one of the most popular in my birthyear. Dodged a bullet though. My parents really liked MacGyver and almost named me Angus. Given my dad raises Black Angus cattle, that would have upset me probably. My middle name, and most middle names on my paternal side, are ancestral first...

To rise above the insanity the world would bestow, and to create order from chaos is one of the greatest accomplishments one can perform in life.

I read advice from some well established authors that the best number of words is something like 1.8k, but 1.5-2k is the sweetspot. I have chapters that are occasionally less than 1.5k, and some that go as high as 2.4k. Yes, 2k is fine.

I mean, Kids these days, kids my days, kids who were about 5 years older than me. It isn't exclusive to point out that kids who are currently kids experience something, merely a statement about the current world. It wouldn't have been relevant to say "Kids back when I was a kid would get the...

I partook in plenty a violent video game with friends (CoD), but I was always more of an RPG and MOBA nerd. I also didn't care for gory horror movies, but I would (like a sociopath) browse through 4chan rekt threads at fairly regular intervals. Watching real people get mutilated in your teens...

Most days, yes. Oh, they'll "read" a book when they're supposed to. But if you pay attention, most kids will have the same 50k word book for a whole semester. Either their reading skills are seriously lacking, but they somehow text at 100 wpm, or they're only pretending to read to pass through...

The sad thing is I'm 28 and teach, and so it's even worse than you think.

You know, kids these days rarely read physical books, so it's not nearly as detrimental to have physical copies of a book have swearing or gore. The kids get plenty of that online anyway.

I uh, I don't drink alcohol, but Steak is quite good.

Tree of Aeons (slowly going to amazon) Weaponsmith (on amazon now) Uhhh, just those two here. I mostly read on novelupdates.

I mean, if its the same overarching story, e.g. Harry Potter, on Scribblehub or other webnovel websites, I'd consider that a single story. Just label each book like I did, [Vol.1] [Vol.2] Etc. Then when/if you make it into a book, you already have things marked, and the people reading don't...

I can live with that. Once the story is done, it's rewrite time, then selling it as an actual book, and that is something like 7 novels from now. Very goooood. I'm planning on starting an engagement campaign (mostly because my RR following lags quite a bit behind my SH readership, and for a...

I was about to ask this question, so I may as well ask you. Can I, as an author, bribe my readers with more chapters in exchange for engagement (favorites)?

Thanks for taking the time to read and review! I'm glad it reads as journal entries, as that is what I'm going for. (In fact, I should probably put that in the description lol). It's also definitely Gore-lite. I hesitated to put the gore tag at all, but there are handfuls of people out there...

I've been applying things I know + doing research to expand my own knowledge while I write. My current lifestyle isn't much like my writing, but it's applying a lot of stuff from my previous points in life, from engineering, to the Boy Scouts.
