    Life Advice? (Dark Topic)

    Not too far off. I suppose I would feel better by digging research into how to live as a homeless. Even a not fun backup plan would quell me just a little.

    Life Advice? (Dark Topic)

    I do find some of this agreeable, but, it's very difficult not to worry about it. My overall thoughts edge too closely to... well, I'm sure I don't really need to say it out loud. It really is that bad, when there is no active way to treat it at least. Focusing exclusively on what I can...

    Life Advice? (Dark Topic)

    Yeah, I know... I've got issues that I feel like I can't control even in the slightest. A health disability that is ruining my ability to, well, live, essentially. I'm close to a point where I won't be able to work any normal job, thus can't get any income, thus can't clutch to any hope that...

    Low attention span reviews and ratings [Open]

    This shocks me a little. Your book actually looks like it's above-average written to me. Doesn't make sense for someone to rate it badly for not being simple enough. Might give my own rating in the late future.

    Hm, it's just a temporary escape from reality, a reality I want to build back better with my own two hands...

    Life Advice? (Dark Topic)

    What do we do when we're in a total life slump? I feel the crushing weight of every issue around me caving in, and it feels like, ever time I take a step forward, I also am pushed back two more... I know it's a complex topic, but just, how do people live in this world sometimes, I wonder...

    Have you ever put one of your stories on hiatus?

    Some projects take priority over others, so it's normal for some to be.

    Could I get your honest thoughts?

    Take what I say with a grain of salt at least. I already skimmed and read a couple before, and put it down. I am known to do that if the diction isn't hyper-elegant, but in this case, my choice was a bit more on the lack of emotional connection with the characters early on. The vibe I pegged had...

    What's your opinion on the ocean.

    It's very wet

    How long should the story and chapters be?

    My vote is, if it's over 11k words, time to split or fork it. Under 1k words, not great unless it's only rare or supposed to be short.

    Is this real or not?

    Real or not, be very wary about whether this "offer" immediately drains you of any money. Don't care if they call it an "investment" or something else. That's the number one biggest red flag for all modern authorship scams. If they aren't asking you for money but only a % of commission on...

    New to writing... Please help (Regarding publishing and Marketing)

    Technically no, there is no forced payment or obligation to pay an author. The only way we authors can get paid here (excluding patreon specials), is asking for readers to donate to our linked donation settings, if they enjoy the story. And don't forget to NOT ask for this inside the content...

    How was your first experience with publishing here?

    I like the SH experience. Was sticking to Amazon exclusively for a bit, but, go figure it never paid. Then I had revelation years later. At any moment, I could get hit by truck or mauled by a Russian Centaur. And then, with no marketing, and books pay-walled at the beginning, they may never be...

    Resolved Account Ban Appeal- would like clarification

    Don't feel too down about it. There are some intricate methods as scum scammer evolve to make things seem more official. As a society we've gone from clicking on the "download free RAM" ads to A.I. assisted social engineering. But yeah, that does seem important to address. I didn't realize we...
