    Entered a contest and I am getting bad rating.

    It really isn't anyone's fault really. Just imagine an unconventional weapon, or duality of a secret life. You would need to pull gimmicks and dumb down your MCs to target a certain type of audience unless you are going for a far-off niche. Can you imagine pulling off a serious novel where your...

    Entered a contest and I am getting bad rating.

    I doubt it is really by jealous competitors, but rather stricter judging. Though, getting '1' ratings are usually nasty. Those who dare to vote 1 out of envy aren't likely to win anyway. A good competitive mindset is to better yourself than push others down after all. I avoid this competition...

    How long do you wait for comments?

    Comments? Doesn't matter to me since I enjoy writing my work. Getting acknowledgement is fine and dandy, but in the end, my primary motivation is my personal satisfaction.

    How do you add more OOMPH to a hit or event?

    @Sylphias Nono, don't worry friend. I often ghost in the forums too, most of us are busy in our lives and face hard times. Take your time.

    I can't reread my own story

    I don't mind rereading what I write, I take stuff in with some benefit of doubt whereby I chose to develop in this direction. I guess my beginning has already some implications to my plot ending so it is not easily changeable. Maybe more details I guess.

    What blessing would you choose?

    Ahem too mainstream in novel terms not RL applicability I should specify. Ideas are always borrowed after all.

    How do you add more OOMPH to a hit or event?

    Hmm if you want some more hype, I recommend breaking up sentences like someone else previously mentioned and probably to describe more. For example: Countless monsters surround the group of adventures, cornering them. Each beast overshadowed the tiny human as they looked upon their prey with...

    What blessing would you choose?

    Music or poetry. I would favor music just because it can bring a permanent change to cultures, unlike the temporary nature of poetry. My goal would then to create songs in the goddess's name and spread happiness to the world. The idea of using sound to kill is not bad, but I would much prefer a...

    How to reach a wider audience on scribblehub?

    Definitely a bigger improvement on the cover. It is no longer bland and difficult to read the title. But yeah the previous person mentioned that your name could be more conspicuous, though in my opinion is not that big of a problem as your previous cover.

    How to reach a wider audience on scribblehub?

    I mean I can understand where you are coming from...but don't you feel like tackling the unknown? Walking the event horizon? --------------------------------------------------------------- Zui Shuai (Most handsome) was born as a handsome baby, blessed by the gods. His parents kowtowed at the...

    How to reach a wider audience on scribblehub?

    But then your writing will just be another egoistical power trip if you demonize, nerf and antagonize all your bad characters. I guess if that is truly what most readers want...I shall go back and enjoy MoDaoZuShi and those handsome abs. Good is handsome, evil is handsome, the dao is handsome...

    Does your skill add or multiply?

    Hmm, it depends on what you define as ugly. It is all perspective. I would say whatever can be done is capped by the base capabilities of one's talent and efforts. Like you cannot expect a guy who can only draws ugly stick mans to draw some sickass ugly monster. Yet, you can have triple A...

    How to reach a wider audience on scribblehub?

    My take on this was, well I have seen your book before. I kind of know what to expect, but I am not tempted to open it. I always say this to anyone that wants to write a book including myself. Fulfill 3 criteria: 1. A catchy cover 2. A catchy title 3. A catchy synopsis I do not find much...

    I am an ant and I am mystical. You are close. Self-images as a gypsy, hmm not too shabby.

    It is not like I don't understand that. I guess I took my joke too far. Oh well, I shall apologize for this awkwardness and poof.
