Ah, lol. I barely have anything to do with Barnes n Nobles, because it's just not really a thing here. It does exist, but I've never seen a brick and mortar store around and nobody would ever think of it before thinking of Thalia or Hugendubel. That's probably why it didn't track. I also didn't...

Gotta stay realistic, I guess. :blob_cookie:

Bad call, since I currently write three fantasy stories. One of which features a Protagonist fighting creatures far worse than zombies as her main job (or, well, she's retired, but still) and she doesn't, technically, need a weapon, because she has one she can manifest. Does not suffice in...

He, who does not pay rent, may slide down my hairy back. Readers who don't even put down comments don't get to demand shit. :blob_cookie:

I don't think you're missing tech. Sure, there are options - just recently, World Anvil was mentioned in a thread. I was like "Cool, I could try that" - only to realize that I had an account already and it was apparently 3 years old. It's AI based and there's options where you can input...

Just do whatever. In the end, it doesn't mean you get a huge following and if you don't have a long ass story, publishing daily won't do you any good. Also, if you are just starting, concentrate on quality, not quantity.

Yeah, no, this shit wouldn't fly in my country.

I've heard this so many times lately, yet I have never seen one myself. :blob_popcorn_two: Should I feel somehow offended, that my stories aren't even good enough for a bot to comment on? :blob_cookie:

That's seriously weird. I work for an IT firm - not high on the latter, but I work Sevice Desk, which is good money and only rarely stressfull work; I don't do a lot of grunt work, so I'm mostly not even on the phone. I know we are constantly looking for IT specialists of all kind, and no, you...

What's even the job you are trying to get? If it's just for the sake of having something, until something better rolls around, is there nothing around you that would take anyone? Seriously, what country do you live in?

That largely depends on where you even live. Because normal people apply via job sites and official company sites. You check what company is looking to hire, you apply, end of story. It reads as if you hadn't even tried any of that. If you have no job, why not send around your application like...

Not really, it was just for funsies. Ich just remembered that I don't know how to do hair anyway.

Thanks, but for that, it would have to actually look good once it's done xD

So, I'm nowhere near an artist, when it comes to drawing. I won't pretend I have never learned anything about the craft, but because of something that happened, I wasn't able to touch a pen in around 10 years; basically, I just couldn't do it. So now, everything looks like shit, but who would I...

Congratz. :blob_cookie: Cookie for you. 🍪

Well, especially with emotional scenes, I often wonder if they hit at all. Like, is something I intended as an emotional scene, actually an emotional scene? The translation of what you have in mind to what you can portray is always tricky and you, as the author, have the scene in mind, so it's...

Unlock my night stand grab my gun? :blob_cookie: Even blanks are deadly at a point blank range.

While you will find obvious things that way (it's better to check for those before you post), it's not going to catch nearly as much as needed. You always need distance. You need to feel a bit like reading a story you haven't read in a long time. Don't know if it's my scatter brain, but there's...

Technically, no. It won't take years. Yesterday, I think, once I actually sat down to work on it, I managed quite a lot in two hours. It's reading with editing. The problem comes into play, once you've edited once. You will be blind to your mistakes, until your brain forgot what you wrote to a...

I'll hold onto that wording for you. :blob_cookie:
