    How Often Do You Eat Vegetables & What's Your Favourite?

    The way we view what is a vegetable at least from a culinary perspective is anything but consistent. Most people will consider Corn, Tomatoes and Cucumbers vegetables at least at the dinner table, but they are fruit. Meanwhile potatoes are often considered more like a grain product culinarily...

    is it still possible to be author?

    As long as you aren't terrible and can maintain a stable output over a relatively long period of time you're already ahead of most writers at least when it comes to web novels. That is to say that it's a marathon not a sprint. Outlast the others and you reign supreme. If you want to make an...

    Writing When is it too much or too little words?

    Purely as far as improving readership acquisition if currently you are doing 4k chapters 3-4 times a week yes doing 2k chapters daily would probably help because you'll spend more time on the front page which means more chances for people to see it and give it a try. Also 2k won't be an amount...

    Writing When is it too much or too little words?

    There is quite a bit of variety and then there is also the difference between what works best for reading comfort and what works best for readership growth. Two main things I would say should be your goals is no less than 1k words per chapter and try to get to daily chapter uploads first and...

    How Often Do You Eat Vegetables & What's Your Favourite?

    Potatoes if you count those. If you don't want to count that because it's too starchy then corn. If that is still too starchy for you to accept peppers.

    When to add Kofi/Patreon/Paypal?

    Put it whenever you feel like you'll be consistent in providing content. As for which to use. Why not all? Diversify. Also not everyone likes using all of the platforms so offering multiple can be good.

    Worst thing you can do right now (as an author)

    It can work when it's a character exploration. However if the people like the story for the actual plot more so than the main character then suddenly going "it was all fake" is a good way to piss off the readers since the thing they actually liked about the story has effectively been dismissed.

    Bullying in Fiction

    I'm glad I went to school before social media became too common. It used to be the case where even if bullying could be pretty bad the moment you left the school premises and went home it was over for the day(unless of course you're having issues at home). Now through a combination of efforts...

    Having 30k words in just 5 chapters

    "Too much for what?" is the question. For getting more views/readers it's a suboptimal strategy. More frequent chapters will be more beneficial for visibility of your story. It is better for getting views to write 6k chapters and release six a week spread out throughout the week than releasing...

    What the hell?

    Yeah. I'm no huge fan of RR, but this particular thing isn't their fault. At least not as long as they want their novels to be accessible from the website rather than forcing their users to read it all through their own proprietary app.(even then it is still potentially possible to steal the...

    What the hell?

    It's not really a matter of protection. If the text of the work can be accessed using a browser it can be scraped for content using pretty simple programs for such purposes. It's probably part of the reason why WN tried to make it so you could only access their novels from the app rather than...

    How to get more readers

    As someone who used to upload chapters on a book daily and now uploads 2 chapters a week I can assure you updating daily is way better for your views/readership. It's just that I got super burnt out doing it. I would say if improving your views/readers is the primary goal, getting as close to...

    Worst thing you can do right now (as an author)

    Making a chapter talking about how everyone that enjoys the drivel you write are irredeemable degenerate loser trash that will never get laid. Although I'm sure that still wouldn't lose all of my readers because I'm sure a few of them might be into that kind of degradation.

    couple more quick questions need help with

    1. You could simply insert a link to youtube or spotify with the song. As for whether it's good to do *shrugs* guess it would depend on your audience. 2. You can. It would depend on the length of your chapters and posting frequency. You probably do want to build some sort of cover recognition...

    What was your first story you wrote?

    Hmm longest ago that I can at least vaguely remember was a short story for a school assignment somewhere near the end of primary school. It was a story set vaguely in the late middle ages about an orphan boy who was outcast for being the son of a witch who had been killed for being a witch. Then...

    Uncomfortable with beauty.

    I mean yeah. Either that or they are writing it because it's the readers' fantasy. People like imagining being powerful/attractive/smart/insert more positive things.

    Any Pokemon Gourmand fan-fics?

    The original manga and some of the older dex entries are a lot darker than what current day pokemon shows. It's quite obvious that people in the pokemon world eat pokemon in those older works. As for how ethical it is. You have to eat something. Though them being sentient might make it harder...

    Should I Add a Glossary?

    I would include it. Hell I refer to my own glossary at times while writing. Sometimes it is nice to have a reminder of who is who and what's what. As for spoilers it's not up to you to prevent them from spoiling anything. That's up to the reader.
